The camera will try to balance out the values as best it can, so when I take these closeup photos you may not be able to see that they really change too dramatically. When I take the final photo of all of them together you'll really see how different they are.
Keep doing this, through the drawing to get basic shapes, then through a simple block-in like I did above with the 4 studies. Go just that far, then scrape it off, use a little water to wipe it down cleanish, and after the water dries go for it again.

If you can do a ton of *just* simple sight sized drawings and first step value studies, until you can do them fairly consistently, then the rest of painting is fairly smooth. Getting very good at the start pays off big time later. It's also fun trying to solve the puzzle.

There ya go, that's the end of the lesson. I may do another one tomorrow, so if you have questions feel free to ask.
