I completely agree that just using black and white can really help push the mind to find new forms and to explore more depth. I personally draw in ink and graphite most of the time. It's the best thing in the world.

The white collage paper turned into a human skull wearing a striped bandana on its forehead. I know you are trying to stay abstract, but I think you should develop and emphasize the skull.

I've been painting for a while now and still not done a black and white since color is what motivates me but I know I need to learn more about composition and value by practice it so maybe your video will get me going on it. We'll see!

I like this! I am one who usually uses color galore! I tried to use black and white once...it was a black background with a white horse... I simply HAD to add color so I put a small mark of RED on the mane of the horse. Color always wins with me...but your black and white is very nice, I will try it again in my journal with paper and charcoal maybe! 🙂
