Florence Nightingale- initial research findings
Tonal value ranges
This is the reference photo that i used for my paintings. I mapped out the middle, fore, and backgrounds so that it would be easier to put my tones in when painting. I created this piece using the theory that the values in the image get lighter as they reach the background. I kept the background scale very short with only three values and had the foreground section with the biggest range. I really liked this method of painting- making the background the lightest values gave an almost foggy effect to the painting as well as giving it depth which i really like. I did however, struggle to get all of the detail in on the background with such a small range of tones so this is perhaps something i could experiment with moving forward. For this painting, i kept the same range of values (smaller amount in the back, more towards the front) but changed the values within them. I introduced darker tones to the background which i feel really allowed me to get more detail into the painting, unl...
