I am a newcomer to the World of Art. I am fascinated by history, color theory, composition, all medias except oil. I'm spending several hours daily applying the principles but for some reason I detest and loathe tonal values. Thank goodness I "value" your teaching styles. I've learned so much from your tutorials. I even get a headache during the "tonal values" episodes. It feels like it makes my brain glitch and sputter. Is this something you've heard of before Toon? I'm just stumped about the odd reaction.
I'm so sorry, I've never heard of that reaction before! Luckily for you, this is the last video in the series 🤣. Each of us has our own curious quirks. For example, I personally love using charcoal, but I can’t stand the sound of it. Even after four years of art school, where I had to use it all the time, I never got used to it-it still gives me goosebumps! Maybe your reaction comes from finding tonal values a bit too clinical or maybe it's as simple as that you’re not a fan of working in black and white. Or perhaps it’s about overthinking versus doing. When you grab some black and white paint and just start experimenting, the analytical part of your brain often quiets down. That’s when you might actually begin to enjoy it. I’m curious: does this reaction only happen when you're watching and thinking about tonal values? Or do you feel the same way when you’re actually painting? Enjoy the process, and remember: not everything has to be your favorite part of art. 👍👍
@@toon-nagtegaal Thank you for your reply. I painted about six hours today and pondered the tonal quirk during breaks. You are a fantastic teacher and very talented artist so I know if you dedicated a "series" to tonal values, it is fundamentally necessary and I want to continue advancing in my studies.( I am definitely improving). I think you nailed it about the black and white colors themselves. I crave bold ,vibrant, heavily pigmented colors and would be described as a gregarious personality. Your lesson on negative space and sketching catapulted my efforts. Thanks so much for your thoughts because tonal values are the only hiccup I've encountered. It does help to know it's ok.(I will still revisit the series and just take smaller bites. Have a good night my friend.
When you subscribe TH-cam doesn’t automatically send notifications. This setting is off by default. To turn it on, click the bell icon. You'll see three options: 'None,' 'Personalized,' and 'All.' For my channel, I recommend selecting 'All,' as I almost exclusively post videos.👍
Ah that's a pity! Concentrating on painting + explaining in other language + filming at the same time sometimes is hard. In this case I think that I was caught up in the process of painting too much sometimes and then I forget that I have to stand at the side, instead of in front of the canvas (what I usually do of course when I'm not filming). I do my best, but I'm human and make mistakes sometimes I'm afraid 😅. Thanks for your feedback! 👍

@@acheartist that's great, enjoy!👍👍
I think about you every time I see an apple; which reminded me I hadn't gotten a notification. I did the unsub, resub thing. Hope you're well.

I like your tutorials but this time you show a lot of your back. Maybe the camera should be in different place? Regards.

It was not malicious comment. It was to improve your work. Love. 😍
@@re-natka I know, thanks!👍
