Black and White Drawings - A special gift for someone special!

What makes a black and white portrait photo?

The most important thing is that such images never lose their appeal as photography. They have a certain effect on us without us knowing it. In contrast to the fact that bright colors are perceived as positive and cheerful, a black and white portrait image is characterized by something more emotional. The artist wants to touch the viewer with the portrait and evoke a certain emotion in them. Black and white images also evoke many memories and make the viewer think.

The contrast of a black and white painting

When drawing, you concentrate primarily on the composition, the form and the lighting. Of course, the contrasts also make a big difference in a black and white painting! Depending on the contrast, the artist achieves different effects (e.g. dramatic, threatening, cool, thoughtful or mystical).

Many people understand contrast as the light-dark contrast

Many people understand contrast as the light-dark contrast, where the white and black areas meet. But in a black-and-white sketch, we are talking about light and shadow. The darker the shadow and the brighter the illuminated area, the stronger the contrast of the painting.
