"The power of black lies not in its appearance, but its aura." ~ Unknown

"Black Gold" by Jamie Nelson, 2019

Series: The Colour Black

Arty-Fact: “When I fell in love with black, it contained all colour. It wasn’t a negation of colour. It was an acceptance. Black is the most aristocratic colour of all.” ~ Louise Nevelson

In this series, Jamie explores colour theory using the contrast between rich black skin tones and technicolour hues.

Jamie uses colour-blocking with clashing tones to create a bold impact. Fluorescent backdrops set the stage, as black skin tones form dynamic negative shapes, creating a silhouette effect.

Known for her love of colour, Jamie uses black skin as the backdrop to colourful pigments and painterly brush strokes. Metallic Sudanese jewellery adorns the skin, for an additional study of texture and dimension.

Using black skin as both the canvas and the brushstroke, Jamie proves that black contains all colour. She illustrates that the colour black is not a negation of colour but rather the colour of beauty.

Bonus version with different outfit colours:

#wild life smp #inthelittlewood #skizzleman #mumbo jumbo #Mumbo's mug says 1 GOON and Skizz's says 2 GOON (Mumbo has the higher kill count) and Martyn's says IT No.3 (in ref to the end of his video #they all got lightning streaks in their hair cause bride of frankenstein getting resurrected with lightning and bc it looks cool #Mumbo and Skizz are so greyscale then theres Martyn whose just g r e e n #so i tried them all in greyscale but then invert it cause they came back wrong- but I think it looks better with the og colours. I'll find #way to draw the inverted monochrome designs to work just you wait #I love ghost ghoul goons so much. Skizz and Martyn both go 'YOU GOT IT BOSS' in silly voices while Mumbo silently starts stabbing #tw blood #my art

#fanart #yugioh #seto kaiba #i feel like i have so much to say about this drawing but my brain is empty after posting it on twitter and IG..#i based this on a stock photo of some blonde kid challenging an evil version of himself to a game of chess #also i feel like i could definitely come back to fine tune the rendering in some parts #and i'm not sure if i'm entirely convinced by the palette of the final piece..#i got impatient like i normally do and just wanted to post xD #i will probably revisit this in the future for colour adjustment and rendering touch ups
