Colorful stories:
I see black as bold, strong, and agressive. I have always liked black. It is clearly my favorite and people who know me, know it!

Black is the great definer. I outline everything with black first before coloring. Naturally, I always run out of it first.

From childhood black has always been my favorite color. I wasn't a morbid child... I just loved the strength and depth in the color black. It's not a shrinking violet... it makes a statement and makes it loudly. However, used correctly, black can also be a very whimsical color. Black can add definition and really make other colors sparkle.
