This document provides information about tones, tints, and shades in painting. It discusses how the artist marks works, with sections on personal response, technique, and effort. Tints are created by adding white to a color, making it lighter, while shades are created by adding black, making the color darker. Examples of tints and shades in paintings by Van Gogh and other artists are shown. The document concludes with instructions for an activity where students will paint tints and shades in beakers using acrylic paint.
