Bart Lindstrom has often advised to start by making the value of the background the same as the shadow value of the face. It's just a starting point, a possible way in. Peggy B has a really thorough discussion of background values, under Conceptualizing the Portrait: Baumgaertner Value-massing Lecture. Anyone would be advised to read it. Good luck! __________________ TomEdgerton.com "The dream drives the action." --Thomas Berry, 1999
