Paul Reid often begins his oil paintings with black-and-white studies, which serve both practical and artistic purposes. These studies allow him to refine composition and resolve potential issues before incorporating color. They also hold value as standalone pieces, appreciated for their raw, sketch-like quality, visible pen-and-ink cross-hatching, and rough edges that reveal the artistic process. Black-and-white works hold a special allure for some collectors, offering a closer look at the artist’s process and the details within each piece.
