I love color – luscious blues, royal purples, lush pinks, the glint of metallic paint, a riot of colors, texture, shapes, layers. Surrounded by paints in a variety of hues, it’s easy to forget the basics – black and white; line, form and shape; light shading; the simplicity that can also create a huge impact.
So here’s your challenge for today. Pull out some paper, a black watersoluble pencil (sketch and wash charcoal pencil, Inktense pencil or watercolour pencil), and play with just this simple palette.
I chose to do a black and white portrait with a hint of color, but you can choose any subject of your choice. Add some doodles, a few paint splatters, a quote – whatever suits your fancy. Just remember to keep the color palette black and white {maybe with a hint of color}.
And don’t forget to share your sketches/paintings with me!
It looks so beautiful ?
You are an artist !
I’ve tried sketching and leaving them in black and white. But I always go back and use color pencils. It’s like I can’t help myself.
I’m exploring different types of dreams and their meanings.

I can’t draw to save my life, but I love reading all these art posts 🙂 You’ve so much talent. Amazing.
I used to think the same way too, but I learnt how to draw! It takes some trial and error, but you can learn!
