Tonal values
The definition of tonal values in art is how light or dark something is on a scale of white to black. White is
the lightest value and black the darkest.

Tonal value is one of the most important aspects to painting. It is the value structure of a work that allows us
to be able to see light and dark in a painting.

Tonal value scale

Here is what is called a value scale for tonal values. It is a system to organize values ranging from white to
black. As you can see #1 is white and #8 is black. The shades of grey that are in between make up most of
the value shades in a drawing and or painting. It can be an extremely helpful tool for painters to identify
light, middle tones and darks more easily.
