Are You Seeing Your Scene's ENTIRE Value Range?

Using too narrow a value range in watercolor can often result in flat uninteresting paintings. Look for the lights and darks of a scene and make sure you can recreate the full range of values where they are needed.

This was short but helped so much! I know I have a tiny value range and seeing the swatches helped me see my lack of values so much! Thanks Steve!🎉

I started printing a colour and a black and white copy of photos. The black and white help me to see the values better

I really strati use the lightest value and preserve my whites! Thank you for the advice.

Great idea to make a swatch of values. This has been my issue exactly in art class and this morning.

It would be wonderful if you could post a link to the photo. I would like a go at painting the rocks, foliage, and trees. It's got good foreground, middle ground, and background.
