Try the example below, and commit to memory the five elements of shading. These five elements are essential to realistic painting.

Full light // Reflected light // Halftone // Shadow edge // Cast shadow

Practice the Five Elements of Shading

Let’s paint this sphere together using Ivory Black and Titanium White. Identify where the five elements of shading will be and look at the value scale shown in step 1. Look and see how the value scale with the brown tones compares with the gray tones. It is important to make the depth of tone for each box the same for both. For example, the #3 brown tones should be the same value, or darkness, as the #3 in gray. If the brown scale were copied on a black-and-white photocopier, it would look the same as the scale on this page.
