Tips for painting on a Black Canvas

Use Opaque Paints: Opt for opaque colours that will stand out vividly against the dark background, ensuring your artwork pops.
Paint a Layer of Titanium White First: If using translucent colours or unsure about opacity, start by painting a layer of titanium white on the black surface to enhance colour vibrancy and ensure brightness.

Consider Using Paint Pens: Water-based or oil-based paint pens can be effective for adding details and highlights on a black canvas, as they show up well against the dark background.
