Black Unicorn #2

"Black Unicorn #2"

This is my newest ACEO (always 2.5" x 3.5") done in acrylic on canvas paper. I love doing black animals, and items! The highlights are fun to do, I always think of grey, blue, purple or green shades. There is no such thing to me as solid black. At present this is not listed for sale on any site, may keep it and do prints.

Very handsome....and like you I like paintig black dogs horses e.t.c. for the same reason I like painting greys or white horses is the light reflecting from them giving colour and form.
