Learn how to simplify complex compositions with Notan master thumbnails. In this level 1 demo, we'll focus on two- and three-value studies, using a portrait by Lepage to explore different interpretations. I'll cover key strategies like squinting, cutting out noise, and grouping values into major shapes.

The fourth interpretation made a lot of sense - stabilising the composition and grounding the character.

Thank you for the demo. Small studies helped a lot to focus and warm up to the three-value study. I had to push myself out from my comfort zone to done this task. But I am glad, I finished a new study.
