Culture Hustle, Black 4.0, Acrylic Paint Pouch
The paint that stated it all. This is the blackest black ever known to the universe, born out of creator Stuart Semple’s obsession to create completely unique art supplies and making them available to everyone (unless you are Anish Kapoor. Sorry Pal). This intensely rich black pigment is deep enough to absorb all light, giving it an intense flat and matt finish. A little goes a long way. Mix with water to loosen the pigments. This paint works on all surfaces too, so long as its non oily and non slick.

Texture
Wet the page then sprinkle on the pink to make some fun visual effects. Texture with the black will be a bit more difficult because of the matt finish. However, you can still achieve something by lightly drag a dry brush over wet paint to create a soft, textured effect.

Monotone Palette
Without colour variation, strong composition is crucial to create a visually engaging piece. Using a monochromatic palette creates more impact that using a number of colours. It focuses attention to specific details. This means you can experiment more with shapes and values to bring your work to life.
