Term: Half Tone

In painting a half tone refers to an intermediate or middle tone. The term is often used to describe an area that is neither in direct light nor shadow, but somewhere in between. Half tones are those parts of the light that approach the shadow and explain an object's structure. These are subtle transitions or small variations in value within a light area, they are not part of a different light.
