Devon Artist Anje Yelf, Art Portfolio: silhouette portraits in ink

Silhouette painting became very popular during the 18th- and 19th-century. It describes the technique of profile painting usually in black and white. Silhouettes are always of a single hue and tone, and can be either cut from card or painted. Usually the subject is painted black, but silhouettes can be created negatively (in reverse).
