Materials

One half 12 x 17 inch Bristol board sheet. Trim your 14 inch wide paper to 12 inches wide before cutting in half. You will have two 8½ x 12 inch compositions
Tape your sheet to your board, ¼ inch clean, even margins!
Non-photo blue pencil
Painting supplies
Value scanner

Paint your nine main high saturation colors on the second half of page five in your sketchbook. This is the color reference for your two tree compositions. Do this first!
Use a broad selection of nine high saturation colors (pure hues such as orange, yellow, yellow green, red, blue, blue violet, etc.
Value ranges for the nine main colors must be between 5 and 10 – vary the value ranges of your main colors.
Use white to lighten.
Use black to darken.
Use the same main colors in each composition.
You may change the position of the nine colors in each composition.
Use no color more than once in each composition.

Shades: Draw a contour drawing of a zoomed in view of tree branches with intricate spaces. Use your nine high saturation colors to achieve a narrow, dark, low key value range by adding black to create shades of your main colors. Use the value scanner (value strip with holes punched) to match value to color. Values will be low key, ranging from 7 to 11 on your value scanner – vary your values!
Tints: Use a different view of the zoomed in branches to create a second composition on the other half of your paper. This time, use your nine high saturation colors to create a high key, close value range by adding white to make tints of your main colors. Colors must be numbers 1 to 4 on your value scanner – vary your values!
Both compositions must contain:
1. Assigned value range for each composition.
2. Interesting compositions, variety in branch placements and sizes.
3. Exaggerated differences in branch sizes.
4. Overlapping branches.
5. Effective color interactions.
6. Clean, even, ¼ Inch margins.
