A value progression is multiple values and colors layered over one progressing from light to dark. Each successive layer definines a progressively darker area of the image.
A simple value progression is moving from light to dark in three values. A color progression is moving from a pale color to a deeper hue of the same color and a two color progression moves from one color to another, each with gradations in between.
The form and shapes can be developed using a simple three value progression. The block is carved away or reduced between each color run.
Color can be added by printing transparent glazes over the values runs.
