Black and White Facial Portrait #1


Black and White Self Portrait No.1, David Plotnick, Acryllic on Gesso, 9 x 12 in, 2010

When doing this assignment I was looking to capture light form behind me.  It is interesting how the blob of black coalesce to give form to something.  Little blotches of  white read as light to the viewer and the information gives the illusion of features in my face so distinct and accurate it is almost magical.
