♥ Art: Are you using the correct medium?
Saturday, 29 September 2012 @ 15:50 Art is expressive and free, so you can pretty much do what you like, it doesn't always have to appeal to a wider audience. If you are going to be selling art, or want to better your work, the medium is a good place to start. Each piece of art medium is best for particular type or style of artwork. Although art allows the artist freedom, there are definitely preferences for media used. In this blog post I'm going to talk about a very small amount of art mediums, mainly because they are misused or not used enough. Watercolours Watercolours are best used on watercolour paper, normal paper will curl (can be used on canvas). They are usually used on scenes landscape. They blend well and give interesting effects if used correctly, they run into each other and you can use different methods to get diffident effects. A lot of people use them to do sketches. They work well with coloured pencils and water pencils. It is quite important to use the correct type of brushes, and a range of different types in any one picture, it is also important not to add too much water or not enough - although this can help to make expressionate pieces. It can be hard to get a define line, which is why they are not usually used for drawing characters, animals or people. Acrylic Paints Acrylic paints can be used for most things, the can be thinned with water or used thick. It is far easier to get clear define lines with acrylic paints, and they are often easier to use than oil paints. They are very versatile and fun to use. They can be used on paper and canvas, for scenes, landscapes, people, animals and many other pieces of artwork. Pro markers Pro markers should be used on special paper, as they soak through the page. They can be used on anything you like but they are amazing for drawing people and cartoons. Unlike felt tips they are easy to shade with and don't leave behind lines, they are smooth. They are best for drawing defined lines as you have more control over the lines made than with any type of paint, making them amazing for drawing characters. You can go over the top of them when dry to create shading. Art is fun and so you should be experimental with all types of medium. The medium you use will depend on the effects you are going for or the thing which you would like to capture. 0 Comments
