I have been told by several people that Black is not a great color to use on painting. So, I have steered clear of using it , with the exception of a few lines or dots here and there.
Well, I have been doing some very different things lately and decided what the heck! I did this Abstract you see here in nothing but White and Black. I covered my canvas in whit acrylic then I smoked it. No I didn't smoke the canvas but I did use a candle and a spoon and smoked the soot over my white paint. It looked really cool.
The I used my favorite pouring medium and spead that all over and dib dabbed some black paint on there and let the magic begin. It looks so much better in real as it has this shiney coat over it. The black is very glossy. And I am happy to say the smoking I did showed through just where I wanted it to.
So all in all my White and Black turned out quite nicely. In fact this is going to end up being a series of maybe 4 - 5 paintings. Let the fun begin!
