This type of art focuses on drawing skills, and as such takes time in learning the basics of illustration. Color is secondary to form in a pen and ink drawing, and simply reinforces and fills out the inked in portion of the work. Simply put, you really need to know how to draw to pull off this type of art.
Drawing
A student artist will probably draw long before he ever takes brush in hand. A pencil and a notepad are all that is needed to practice and develop this skill. There are many fine books and magazines devoted to drawing, as well as countless web pages and articles.
Once a student has developed a little self-confidence in creating a pleasing drawing, he is most anxious to embellish it in some way. That is usually color. To keep things simple and inexpensive, the artist may choose to do pen and ink drawings and illuminate them with watercolor. Artists also use this technique to expand on ideas they have for future, more heroic works. However, a good pen and ink drawing can stand on it is own as a final output with no apologies needed.
Regardless of how competent the artist is, he will most likely begin the work with a light graphite sketch. Using a soft lead pencil will allow the artist to erase easily and will not engrave pencil marks into the relatively soft paper. The ink will completely cover the pencil marks and any graphite in the watercolor can be erased or will barely be noticeable.
Paper
The artist will use heavy watercolor stock for this type of creation. A paper with little or no tooth is preferable if the drawing will be delicate or detailed, as rough tooth paper will limit the control the artist has over the ink.
Likewise, the paper should be thick enough to stand up to the water that ...

The student may choose to use dry brush technique for this type of painting, if there are small areas that call for a textured, wispy look.
However, if there are large areas that require the paper be wetted with water before painting, care should be taken that the paper is thick, watercolor stock. Ripples in paper too thin for watercolor is not considered texture.
This technique is a great way to expand and refine a student’s sketching skills, and may possibly be considered as preliminary for more detailed or larger paintings. A good watercolor pen and ink drawing also stands on its own as a work of art, which an aspiring artist can certainly show with pride.
I agree with this statement because color is important and the color makes the picture brighter. When you color with different colors you can see the different lines of the paint that you couldn’t see before or that was hard to see without the paint. Some of the sculptures already have color in them when the artist is done making them. Like in the picture there is some white and black in the sculpture. But if the artist would but some color to the face it would show the lips, eyes, and nose a lot better. Also the color in the sculpture will make it stand out and I like to use color when I am coloring or when I am painting something because it brightens up my mood and it makes it look prettier I think. Some people just like the color black and white because they like the natural. They might also like it because it will look better on that one
The Bob Ross painting method is the wet-in-wet technique. Artists have used this method for hundreds of years, and for the oil painter is the fastest method to use.

Drawing – According to the Oxford Dictionary drawing is, “A picture or diagram made with a pencil, pen, or crayon rather than paint.” In this study a drawing is a series of marks that compose a composition done with pencil and charcoal. The drawings are made by hand and recorded in either a sketch book or on lose paper.
Here are four basic techniques that will give you a start on the path to becoming a truly skilled tattoo artist.
There are two basic motions the artist uses to apply the paint. He can lightly tap the brush up and down, holding it at 90 degrees to the support. This method is known as stippling or pouncing. Another method of paint application is to swirl the brush in a circular motion, beginning outside the perimeter of the cutout, and work towards the center of the area.

It appears to me that pictures have been over-valued; held up by a blind admiration as ideal things, and almost as standards by which nature is to be judged rather than the reverse; and this false estimate has been sanctioned by the extravagant epithets that have been applied to painters, and "the divine," "the inspired," and so forth. Yet in reality, what are the most sublime productions of the pencil but selections of some of the forms of nature, and copies of a few of her evanescent effects, and this is the result, not of inspiration, but of long and patient study, under the instruction of much good sense…
The first time I began to draw, I drew stick figures and malformed animals and people. As I continued to grow and experience new things, I also improved in my art. From fifth grade to my senior year in high school, I realized a major difference in the way I drew, and also in what it meant to me. For me, drawing represented the growth I went through in life. Through the tough times, happy memories, and crushing defeats, these all accumulated and created my personality and
Graeme Base uses air brushes, brushes, scalpels, pencils, water colours, transparent ink, technical drawing pens and some use of the computer.
When I imagine an artist, I picture a Parisian dabbing at a sprawling masterpiece between drags on a cigarette seated in an extravagantly long holder. He stands amid a motley sea of color, great splashes of vermillion and ultramarine and yellow ochre hiding the tarp on the studio floor. Somehow, not one lonely drop of paint adorns his Italian leather shoes with their pointed toes like baguettes.
The year 1913, Henri Matisse returned to printmaking. Developing numerous prints of drypoints, woodcuts, lithographs, monotypes, and etchings. Matisse focused on the world around him, which included friends and family, everyday life in the studio, but it was the tools and techniques the artist used that had a significant impact on his work. Matisse began working on prints for Bathers in 1913, working with models in various seated and standing positions. The artist was working to simplify the human form by only capturing the essential elements and describing the figures with minimal lines. The drypoint technique creates a rigid line, and more angular because the artist uses a sharp metal tool to scratch directly into the surface of the copper
When an artist writes something with calligraphy, what he writes is not always as important as how the figures look on paper. Sometimes they will even be unrecognizable, but it's not considered wrong if the artist thought it would improve the project.
Cubism takes the opposite route for the same effect. Solid lines are drawn, but the painting itself is usually more abstract (as with Picasso). At times it can be difficult to discern what some paintings are supposed to represent. Bright, vivid colors infuse the pieces with more passion. The contrast between those not well defined objects and the punch of emotion gives cubism its personality and vitality.
Make sure to have a variety or art materials such as paint, markers, crayons, glitter, and fabric ready for these learners to use.
