Value is very important to drawing and painting because value changes are what creates contrast. Contrast is needed to help us see and understand a two dimensional work of art. For example, if the was no value contrast between the words on this page and the background; you would have difficulty reading what is here. Value contrasts can also create interest in art works. Our eyes tend to be drawn to areas of high contrast, so artists use this to show us what they think is important.
