Value
Value is the degree of lightness or darkness. The process of making a flat image appear 3D by adding different values is called modeling. Modeling is used in the van Gogh painting below, making the field of wheat appear like it is flowing into the skyline. Value is best understood in black and white. To view the black and white version of the painting, drag your cursor over the image below.
