Reply To: Help with Painting Black

I stopped using acrylics many years ago and now use primarily water colors over white gesso, which kinda works similar to contrast paints insofar as it creates its’ own shadows and highlights, often with just 1 coat. If I want something VERY black – without any grey tones – such as a Nazgul, perhaps, I use calligraphy ink.
