I love painting on back surfaces with gouache and acrylics. I have tried color pencils once or twice before as well. Thanks for all the wonderful suggestions.
Great stuff! I also reccomend everyone try other coloured papers, working thickly with gouache E or eon thinner/less watercolour appropriate papers. And trying makeup brushes which painting! Even cheap but decent quality dollar store brushes they are great! Also mixed media you can put coloured pencil on top of dried gouache!
Omg this could not have come at a better time! I literally just bought a black paper sketchbook last week and was wondering what to paint 😂🙌🏼 Definitely going to try out some of these 🤩
Your gouache paintings are beautiful; this video was very relaxing and inspiring. Thank you for creating and posting it :) With regard to a sketchbook with black mixed media paper, Stillman & Birn Nova Trio Series Toned Softcover Sketchbook has beige, grey, and black paper. I haven't tried it myself, but the description states it's 150 gsm and can withstand light layered washes of wet media.
Amazing!!!! Thank you for some new ideas too!! I’ve had my black paper for over 2years and I still struggle with what to do with it😅. Will definitely be trying these. Have a nice day❤
yay! Glad it can be useful ☺️ I know what you mean, I have had this paper for a while and rarely reach for it which is why I really wanted to explore more
Amazing!!! I love black paper because I draw astronomy themes, so for me it's the best media haha... Never thought of using gouache before. Is this brand expensive? I LOVE your art! ☺
The pop of colours....the contrast. Mesmerising ^^ I hadn't seen you do this kind of thing for some time...thank you for blessing us with these cool references and ideas....and imagery :o
Whether it’s your black paper, your dogs or your butterflies, your display is inspiring!!

Brilliant - need to try black paper out! Thank you for this. Only thing "missing" in the dog drawing are the whiskers :)
You’re so right, I completely left them out 😅
You are so amazingly talented Sofia! Love the doggies and butterflies 🦋 🖤
