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.
