Oil on Black Gesso

Just started some new oil paintings. I used some 300 lb watercolor paper, layered a couple coats of black gesso on the paper. I wanted to practice painting on a black ground, and pick oil paint to work with. I am finding this very exciting because oil is nice to use the sgraffito (to scratch) technique
with. I love how long you can work with the oil paint to do this, and the black lines add such an exciting touch to the paintings.
