Black Canvas Project. Try something different!

It's the l of these times. A good idea when you want to try something different. The result can be unique. Why not try black instead of starting with a white background? Although I call it the black canvas painting it doesn't have to be canvas. It works just like any painting surface, like paper or canvas panels. It's effortless to do. Just paint the entire surface of the painting with black acrylic paint. Well, at least I didn't go down without explaining myself first, but it was amusing. Then what?
