I have just started a new series on my YouTube Channel called Sometimes, color gets in the way. I'm focusing on working in black and white and shades of gray to create volume with light and dark. The first two projects are on black paper. I'll be using a variety of papers and media in this series in the hopes of sharing with folks the "value" of using black and white to understand contrast when color is just too difficult to work with.
The videos are under 30 minutes (time lapse). I hope you can take the time to view and like if you like and subscribe if you want to see more of my demonstrations.
