@ -48,4 +48,39 @@ In this course we are gonna be learning three main things:
2. Mimic Light (simulate the volumes with light, just by, once again, juxtaposing different tones one next to another)
3. Translate colors and Sensations (which is something really hard to handle, but which is we can really understand through practice observation and techniques)
Painting is not a direct translation of reality into painting, it's also how to grab reality and represent it in a really personal manner.

## How to Simulate Volume with Values?
We will learn how to simulate reality and volumes through the proper use of values.
If we add a white sphere to a black image, we observe something happens, through **contrast**.
Everytime we have contrast, our eyes are gonna analyze it as the superposition of different shapes, so it will create the illusion of **depth**.
**CONTRAST = DEPTH**
Our very anatomy is based out of this principle.
To create an image, we actually go from a blank page and then we create a primary contrast. Let's say a floor and the sky, and then we add an element, a tree for example. We have a lot of contrast, between the floor/tree (gray) and the sky (white), because our mind separates the gray from the white.
And if we add a third shape and we put it really much darker than the rest, then we are going to have a lot of depth.
One of our main goals as painters is to obtain or simulate volume. And we'll see that contrast is really going to be a really key to get this sensation of depth.
Painting is the juxtaposition of different values that are going to create contrast, that are going to give us the sensation, the illusion of depth and volume.
**Values** are everything that happens between black and white, all the nuances, all the tones, all the shades, all the values that exist between black and white.
## A Reminder of How to Draw
It's a very important skill that we need as a painter.
### Fundamentals of Drawing
Drawing is actually the first necessary step to define the volume of an object or anything before applying painting over it to give it volume. Even though this course is about painting but it will always in the end depend on your ability to draw, because a good painting cannot save a bad drawing.
**LINE -> SHAPES -> VOLUMES -> DESIGNS**
Drawing is **ANGLES + PROPORTIONS**
Angles are at the very base of drawing, and being precise with our angles is really vital to a good drawing. Proportions are actually the relationship between height of an object, and its width. Proportions also define the shape of an object or anything we draw.
