This book analyses the infinite possibilities that are opened up by drawing and painting in black and white, and it takes an in-depth look at the achromatic abstraction offered through the artistic language of this pairing. Over the pages of this volume, you will find a range of techniques that are demonstrated through exercises and step-by-step methods that will let you go beyond the theory and practise for yourself.
It also features tips, tricks, key artists and other helpful information. Graphite, charcoal, markers, ballpoint pens, ink, watercolour, gouache, mixed media, grattage and printmaking are just some of the techniques and materials that you'll discover through this book.
