Materials Use any of the following: ♦ Light gray, middle gray, and black ink brush pens. You need four or five values. ♦ black and white oil paint. Tips ♦ Work larger than you would for a mass notan. Paint for example 5”x7” (12cm x 18cm) or 9”x12” (23cm x 30cm). ♦ You may work soft and hard edges into the painting if you wish. Caution ♦ Unlike the smaller mass and contour paintings, match the actual values you see as closely as possible. For example, you would use a middle gray for the shadows, not black.
