Value Grouping in a Still Life

🍰 Make values sing and shapes breathe in a joyful still life. In this 3+ hour demo, Ashley Glazier shows you how to think of design as “value first,” using clumped tones and simple value shapes to build harmony, clarity, and mood.


You’ll learn how to:
🎯 Use value grouping and “clumping” to simplify complex objects into readable forms
🌈 Arrange tones to lead the eye and create visual flow
🧩 Use simplicity to amplify impact in color, shape, and composition
☀️ Capture a bright, happy mood—even in ordinary still-life arrangements


Perfect for painters at any level who want to deepen their control of value, improve readability, and make their still lifes more expressive. 🕒 Runtime: 3+ hours

Ashley Glazier

Ashley Glazier is an artist based in Provo, Utah. In between painting at the studio, she loves to spend time exploring the beautiful state she gets to call home.  “I have always been drawn to still-life paintings. I believe there is something to be felt and seen about the inanimate objects we are surrounded by everyday. Some of these objects are menial and routine, yet others we instill great meaning. In each painting I try to show the quiet intricate beauty these objects have to offer us. ”
