I am very much drawn to the simplicity and austerity of black and white, neutrals, and shades of gray, even though much of my own work relies on color. Color is a powerful language, and it’s often the element we relate to most immediately in a painting. Because it is such a strong element, we sometimes neglect other possibilities of richness and subtlety in our visual expression.

Since it is a while before the class starts, I encourage you to do your own studies in black and white. See what happens!

Black and White Online Class
Finally, I have figured out an online workshop on Working in Black and White. It begins next summer, July 19 (sorry I could not squeeze it in sooner).
I will be doing black and white 'play' as soon as I get past Xmas. The general December rush has started early for me this year. LOVE that piece with its various shapes and light/dark balance. Your line has great integrity.
