 This week, we're exploring the magic of toned paper! Watch my video for a deep dive, but grab some grayscale paper if you can find it (alternatives in the video!). Remember, the toned paper acts as your "middle value" – add white for highlights and regular pencil for darks. You can even practice a value scale on a scrap piece to get the hang of it. Let's create stunning art on toned paper! 

 This week, we're on a treasure hunt – but the prize is in your own home!  Grab your sketchbook and pencils because we're creating a one-of-a-kind drawing using everyday objects.  The possibilities are endless, so unleash your inner artist and see what unique combinations you can come up with!
