Here are my exercises in painting the 4 basic forms; sphere, cone, cylinder and, oops, forgot the cube. Oh well, you get the idea.
The first three use just black and white to make shades of gray. These exercises are from Johnnie Liliedahl's Illuminations series DVDs, which are excellent. There are so many poor painting dvds out there but hers are very clear and complete. Her web site is www.lilipubs.com
The colored forms exercise and the color circle, from an earlier blog Color Exercises, are in the book "The Oil Painting Course You've Always Wanted" by Kathleen Staiger. This book is very basic and assumes you know nothing about oil painting. It is the best book I have found for a rank beginner like me. I am using these and the DVDs from Hall Groat II to learn the basics.
