Value studies are a means of simplifying, organizing, and expressing the essential massing of light and dark.
To appreciate abstraction it’s important to understand that this is really about structural contrasts and relationships, not things.
Using a limited number of tones is a way to sift out the clutter of small details to get to the poetry of the big abstract tonal structure – the real bones of the subject.
Illuminated Manuscripts
The word manuscript is derived from the Latin words manus (hand) and scriptus, from scribere (to write).
Illuminated, from the Latin illuminare (to light up), denotes the glow created by the radiant colors of the illustrations, as well as by real gold and silver.
