As a food illustrator I have had to level up my contrast skills in recent years so the food packaging I work on stands out on the shelf, amongst other competitors products. One of the chief ways is through using value contrast. Value contrast is an immensely interesting and rewarding subject. It will: - make your art come alive by adding the illusion of depth - help your art will feel more dimensional and fresh - improve your observational skills and spatial relationships We will ease ourselves in by creating a gradient chart, then full length demos of fun egg studies and moving onto a simple still life using objects we have at home. We can combine the freestyle expressive results of watercolour, after using a basic app to remove the background, then enhance our monochromatic studies in Procreate where further details can be added to support the highlights and shadows.
