Tips & Techniques
Canvas practice makes perfect
Within each kit comes a series of practice pieces for you to see how the paints and tools feel on the surface of the canvas. This also allows you to try different colour combinations and techniques before committing to your canvas
Work with value, not colour
Focus on light and dark contrasts, it’s the key to depth and drama in monochrome art.
Accent colour
There are many ways to use your accent colour within your monochrome artwork. Add it at the end once you have layered up your black, white or greys or use it as a base to create a clean block of colour on the canvas.
Use masking tape creatively
Define geometric blocks or protect white areas for sharp contrast reveals.
Experiment with negative space
Let portions of the cotton canvas show through, it adds sophistication and balance. Sometimes less is indeed more and never more the case than when using the monochrome palette.
Play with edge definition
Combine crisp knife lines with blurred brush strokes for modern contrast. How can you use the brush to add random free flowing marks to your artwork while using the palette knife to add bigger blocks of more structured paint. Can you also combine these through layering, A soft free flowing base layered with a more defined top layer.
Inspiration behind Monochrome
Monochrome was inspired by the beauty of simplicity. How much feeling and depth can come from just black, white, and a touch of tone. It’s about stepping back from colour and focusing on contrast, texture, and balance.
The Monochrome collection celebrate the calm confidence of minimalism. letting light, shadow, and texture do the talking. Whether you’re working with pure black and white or adding a soft accent shade, Monochrome is about creating something striking with less, and finding expression in the subtle details.
