Elements & Principles of Art Color Drawing VALUE Tint & Shade ... - Free Printable

Let’s break this down step by step so you can complete your worksheet correctly.

Step 1: Understand what “Value,” “Tint,” and “Shade” mean

- Value = how light or dark a color is.
- Tint = when you add white to a color → makes it lighter.
- Shade = when you add black to a color → makes it darker.

The center circle shows:
- Pure Color (in the middle)
- Tint versions going toward white (lighter)
- Shade versions going toward black (darker)

You’re supposed to pick ONE color for each of the 6 empty circles, then fill in the sections with:
- The pure color (center)
- A tint (color + white) — make it lighter
- A shade (color + black) — make it darker
- Maybe even medium tint/shade if you want!

Step 2: Pick colors for each circle

You can choose any color you like — red, blue, green, yellow, purple, etc. Let’s say you pick:

1. Red
2. Blue
3. Green
4. Yellow
5. Purple
6. Orange

(You don’t have to use these — just examples!)

Step 3: For each circle, do this:

Imagine the circle is divided into 4 parts (like slices of pie), plus the center.

In the center, put your pure color.

In one slice, put a tint (your color + white → lighter version).

In another slice, put a shade (your color + black → darker version).

You can also add a “medium tint” or “medium shade” if you want — like halfway between pure and white/black.

Look at the example on the right side of the page:
- SHADE = Color + Black → gets darker as you go right
- TINT = Color + White → gets lighter as you go right

So for each big circle, you’re making your own mini value scale using one color.

Step 4: Fill them in!

Use crayons, colored pencils, or markers.

For example, if you picked red:

- Center: Bright red
- One section: Light pink (red + white)
- Another section: Dark maroon (red + black)
- You can leave one section blank or mix more tints/shades — the worksheet doesn’t force all 4 sections to be filled, but try to show at least tint, shade, and pure color.

Do this for all 6 circles — each with a different color.

Final Answer:

Pick 6 different colors. For each circle:
- Put the pure color in the center.
- Add a lighter version (tint) in one section.
- Add a darker version (shade) in another section.
- Repeat for all 6 circles using different colors.

Example colors to use: Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Purple, Orange.

Make sure each circle shows how that one color changes from light to dark using white and black.
