Working with yellow subjects is challenging - but there are some simple steps we can take to understand them better. One is understanding the properties of value and intensity.

For any successful 3 dimensional rendering of a subject - we must consider 'value' Value means the lightness or darkness of colour. With correct value placement we are able to create the form of the object.
