Watercolor pencils
The benefits of watercolor pencils for paper art are many. Like regular colored pencils, watercolors are spreadable when activated with water. They are ideal for mixing colors together in lighter areas. Their marks may be either beneficial or detrimental to the work. Here are some suggestions for using watercolor pencils as paper art. For a start, choose one of the recommended set.
Liquid acrylic
You can choose from a wide range of acrylic papers to make art. The type of acrylic chosen will dictate the choice. We'll be discussing some of the most common options and how to use them in this article. You can paint on canvas, paper or board with an acrylic technique. A canvas pad can be described as a primed canvas covered with acrylic paint. Canvas pads are essentially the same as acrylic paper but can be used to paint on both canvas or board.
Drawing chalks
Paper art is a widely-used medium to create many different designs. Paper isn't acid-free, and will yellow over time. The best papers for pastels are laid on parallel lines. These papers are great for drawing figures and portrait sketches. Two excellent options are Canson Ingres pastel paper and Hahnemuhle Ingres. Strathmore 500 series Charcoal Paper is an alternative laid paper.
Graphite
Graphite can be described as a type or form of drawing that is traditionally done using paper. There are many different types of drawing paper available on the marketplace, but not all of them can be described as equal. This makes it hard to find the right type of paper for your needs. Graphite drawings require a paper that has a fine texture. This is rare in drawing papers.
Charcoal
You should choose charcoal paper if pastels are your thing. This 100% cotton newspaper has a laid, deckled finish that makes it ideal for pastels. It is perfect for pastels and other bright-colored pigments due to its dark tone. You can use charcoal to create a wide variety of effects, including sharp lines and texture. Charcoal paper is a staple of the artist community.
Pastels that are dry
Oil pastels have a chalky texture and can be used either dry or wet. There are many oil pastels that can be used in pencil and stick forms. Most hard and soft chalk pastels are water-soluble, such as Caran d'Ache Neo II and Talens Art Creation Oil Pastels. Both oil pastels can either be mixed with a cloth or diluted in mineral spirits. They are more costly than chalk pastels, however they can be used to create more vividly colored works.
Origami
Origami (Japanese craft) is an ancient Japanese tradition that uses different styles for different purposes. There are three levels to Origami, depending on the complexity or simplicity of a model. Simple models can be folded using basic techniques such as the valley and peak folds, or the squash folds. Intermediate models will require more advanced techniques like the reverse folding and pleats. Complex foldings can take many years to master.
