PAGE 14.                       VALUE PLAN APPROACH  B: USING HORIZONTAL BANDS. There are three different ways to view the values of a painting scene or subject.      * Local Color = the inherent value of the object. Examples: Dark brown of                tree trunks; Light gold of wheat fields; Midtone greens of trees. A                sky, however, may be light, midtone (gray or blue) or dark (night, storm).      * Shading = the play of light on a 3-dimensional object. Example: A building's                roof may be Light, the side of the building that catches the sunlight may                be Medium Light, while the side opposite the sunlight may be Medium                Dark or Dark.      * Cast Shadows on a sunny day. Consider the direction of the light source.
		Artist Roland Roycroft suggests landscapes are mostly formed of horizonal bands:      Line 1: Edge of distant mountains & tree tops.      Line 2: Edge of middle-distance trees, rooflines.      Line 3: Edge of grass &/or horizon.      Line 4: Edge of foreground grasses & brush.      Line 5?... want to add another line of darker grasses? Each band should vary in its height from the others. This Approach evokes feelings of CALMNESS, OPENNESS, SPATIOUSNESS.                                                              ***
