Ink Collection

Black and White Art created with pen and ink, or Monochrome art, has always been enjoyed by many, because of its simple elegance. Our eye tends to focus on the composition without colors that often distract us from the mechanics of an art piece. We can more easily see what really makes an art piece work when color is not present.

Without color a artist must be more creative and exacting throughout the process to have a piece come together with all of the value and tonal changes. Our eye can detect more shades of gray in a black and white photograph than shades of color in a color image.

Pen and Ink art fits almost any environment where it is placed and does not compete with other colors or styles within a space. The same black and white art piece often will fit into a old farm house in the country, or look just as wonderful in the city penthouse.

The lack of color often makes an artist complement an art piece with more details to make up for no color. Many people like this aspect. By removing color and adding detail, viewers often appreciate the effort and technical skill put into the art piece.
