Description

Many people crave a creative outlet, but more often than not, don't know where to start. In Black, Valentina Zucchi and Francesca Zoboli invite you to nurture your creativity and build your confidence by taking inspiration from works of art that celebrate the most enigmatic colour of all, black.

Black is a special colour: rich, glossy and elegant on the one hand; strict, sensible and solemn on the other. Throughout the book, Valentina and Francesca provide creative and fun prompts many based on famous works of art which will encourage you to draw or paint on the pages using various techniques. Packed with inspiration from the world's most celebrated artists, including Francisco Goya, Jackson Pollock, Rembrandt and more, you will discover the many meanings of black and just some of the ways it can be used to express your creative passion.
