FINISH THE PAINTING USING THE “TILING” METHOD

Here you see swatches of paint being applied in a tonal progression. Each brushstroke is either toward the light or away from the light. As you build color and value, use the “tiling” method of applying paint. In this method, all of the mixing is done on the palette, not on the canvas. When you apply the paint, lay the swatches on as if you were placing separate tiles of paint on the canvas. It’s important to make each tile of paint a tiny bit lighter or darker than the last bit of paint. This ensures that you are continuing to roll the forms in accordance with your conceptual knowledge of how light falls on forms.
