Do you like more black and white art or really colorful pieces? I tend to like dark, gloomy art. And most of that is done in black and white.

Hi Eborsisk, Can't say I like it more, but I can say that I like dark black and white photography. Along with gloomy feeling, I like the mysterious feeling that they can have. I like Black and white Pinhole photography to. I tend to do a lot of work in photoshop with the black and white photography I do. Using levevels and curves and other adjustment layers to create surreal images. I love looking at what everyone is doing with black and white photography, so wondeful, and gives me lots of ideas. Digital cameras really give us a chance to explore photography. Do you shoot film, digital or both ?

I looked at your black and white art. Is it pencil, charcoal? Very strong drawings, I liked them. When you do black and white art, it's the black that makes the design

That art isn't mine. It's by one of my favorite artists. It's black and white paint.

I love it all. Any colors, any kinds and all styles. I am an artist. I watercolor in mostly colors, but some pieces are black and white. I am also a rare scissor cutting silhouette artist. I do that in white and black. www.mgcreativearts.com is my website http://mgcreativearts.com/Finall.wmv is a video of me cutting.

It really depends on the art with me. I like photography done in black and white or with an infrared filter. I also like art that is mostly black and white but has one color in it - like red or vibrant purple. Some art just looks better in color. But mostly I like muted colors and dark images.

I as well tend to like dark, gloomy art as well. I find black & white art captures so much more than sometimes color does. But sometimes then I find a little color looks a lot better than just black & white. For me it all depends upon the art itself & what it looks like..

I prefer black and white art to color. The different shades and shadows give a more dramatic effect than bright colors.

black and white because shades say many thing colorful also looks good but black and white portraits are very good .

I like both: black and white and color art. I've just started learning to draw and paint and I'm doing many exercises with hte pencil. I find very charming black and white drawings.

I really love B&W photography, it's a shame that digital cameras don't do B&W as well.

I like both for different things. Black and white for dramatic effects. I especially like black and white photography. My favorite however is Impressionism so of course I love color. I like bold colors too.
