HOW TO DO COLOUR TONE DRAWING ??

Hello everyone ,

In painting , tone refers to the relative lightness or darkness of a colour . A colour tone can be prepared by mixing either black with the original colour or white with the original colour.

This kind of painting is beneficial for those who are not good at mixing colors during painting (like me )

In this technique , no mixing of colours is done on the sheet rather Colors are mixed in the palette ?

Here , first make any drawing of your choice . Try to make something easy and big because then painting would be done more nicely.

Here, this drawing is simple .

After the drawing , you have to make geometric lines similar to the shape (as in the example )

You can see that kite has some lines made inside and many other lines for bushes , sky etc ( this stuff is called geometric lines ) Ex –

Here , you can see inside the circle , there many circular lines .

So , whatever the shape is just make it’s boundary

Now , I am painting for the circular figure .

Take a colour , say red , and paint it on the 3rd circle.

Now , take good amount of white and mix it with the red colour in the palette . And paint the 2nd circle with this colour.

Now , in this colour , mix more amount of white and paint this on the 1st colour.

Next step is to take paint brush full of fresh red colour in the palette . Mix a little amount of black in it ( don’t mix too much black because then it will make the whole colour black ) . Paint it on 4rt circle .

Next , similarly add more black to this colour and paint on 5th circle . And then more black and sixth circle .

This is how you can complete the rest of the portions on the drawing and it’s complete .

Just remember some points

1. Don’t take too much black . Take the minimum amount .
2. For white , take good quantity and mix with the original colour .
3. Don’t take fresh original colour every time .
