What is monochromatic art

 

 

When people think of art, they often imagine bright colors and beautifully crafted paintings. However, monochromatic art pieces can be just as beautiful. There are many different types of monochromatic art including black and white, grayscale, and more. Each one presents a unique take on the traditional art form.

The use of monochromatic art prints is a refreshing change from the typical artwork found in many homes. Monochrome means one color so the artwork is usually an abstract design with one, two, or three colors used. The colors used are typically white, black, and shades of gray. 

Monochromatic art is a creative way to create artwork using one color. Artists usually limit themselves to three colors or less. The creative process for this type of art usually begins with outlining the subject of the piece in black, then filling it in with other colors. Black outlines can also be used to frame the piece.
