  3. Value Value can be used to create the illusion of three-dimensional space through modeling.

  4. Value This technique for creating the illusion of 3D forms through subtle gradations of value is called chiaroscuro (literally “light-dark” in Italian).

  5. Value with Lines In addition to defining space (as with contour lines), lines can also be used to create the illusion of depth and texture. Stippling Hatching Cross-hatching

  16. Value William Ward Beecher, Séance, 1955-1965. Lithograph.

  17. Value When dealing with texture, heavily textured items will have slow gradual changes in value unless the plane ends abruptly. In contrast reflective surfaces will have sudden changes in value, from one extreme to another, with only slight changes in the direction of the planes.

  18. Value Sometimes artists are so good at using value to represent texture, that it tricks us into believing it is the real thing. We call this effect trompel’oeil.

  19. Value The artist Caravaggio was known for his use of tenebrism, a style of painting with high value contrasts – bright highlights and deep shadows with very little modeling. Caravaggio, Conversion on the Way to Damascus, 1601, Oil on canvas,
