Rain's Thursday Art Date - Light and Dark



Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art Date's Light and Dark theme. I did an ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") on cardstock of a face outlined in a white PITT artist pen on a black background.  I think I need a white pen with a finer point if I am to do more of these.  I do like the effect.  Rain comes up with  very inspiring and creative themes.

And welcome to the first day of Spring 2020!

  6. Christine,

    I thought about doing something along the line of what you did but then I got busy with stuff and didn't come up with anything. Of course, seeing your contribution inspired me and I did a quick doodle on my iPad. I think I'll save it for next week to share, though. I am working on art sketches for next month's A to Z Challenge and I'm in fixing a bunch of broken links on my site which happened after I changed the URL format. Anywho, good job!

  11. Thanks Christine :) I love that white on black paper, you did yours well. You could also use a gel pen, like a Uniball Signo gel white pen. They work well if you want to do a "scratch" type of technique on black paper. But I find they dry out pretty fast, I found them on Amazon. Also, try some white charcoal pencils sharpened to a fine point, those work fantastically for black paper and negative image drawing!

    1. Thanks Rain. I should look for white charcoal pencils at some point. Maybe I have some gel pens lying around if they haven't dried up.

  16. Very nice profile. I think the broader stroke is nice. More melancholy! There is something special about black and white. We watch a movie last week in black and white "The Artist". Excellent movie.

  22. I agree, the effect is wonderful and I love the simplicity of your drawing. I have a pad of black paper ... think I will get it out and try some white on black drawings. Love it, Christine ...
