Ctrl+Paint – Black and White Photo Studies

Are you having trouble painting light and shadow? This series will build your black & white fundamentals. Instead of teaching new principles, I’ll guide you through a progression of four photo-study drills. Each drill targets a specific aspect of black and white rendering, focusing your efforts on essential concepts. Like musical scales or athletic routines, these assignments are designed for repetition and can be practiced at any skill level.

Note: This series expands on the principles from Basic Rendering 1-4.
