11 x 14 Black and White Nude Oil Painting
Monochromatic Series
Black-and-white
as a description may be considered a misnomer in that the images are
not ordinarily starkly contrasted black and white but combine black and
white in a continuum producing a range of shades of gray . Further, many
prints, especially those produced earlier in the development of
photography, were in sepia (mainly for archival stability), which
yielded richer, more subtle shading than reproductions in plain
black-and-white. Color photography provides a much greater range of
shade, but part of the appeal of black and white photography is its more
subdued monochromatic character.
I have been thinking about doing a Monochromatic Series for awhile so this will be the first
painting for this series. Many years ago all I did was black and white but used charcoal and inks.
Really
is a lot more fun in oils. There is just something about the extreme
dark and light with all the shades of gray in between that is striking.
Enjoy!
