Prismacolor Colors come in a wide range of art materials, including pens and pencils Prismacolor Art. Art and design is so spontaneous that I find it is difficult to dwell on a specific method of creating a work of art, especially when you are using materials folding as crayons and markers. I guess that whenever I start a project, it usually depends on the mood I'm in as to what support I will choose to work with. However, over the years, I enjoyed the mixture of materials such as pencils combine art with Prismacolor watercolor pencils and Prismacolor metal pens. Even if I am first and foremost a portraitist and figure painter, I find the use of various artists materials, rather than one, more interesting to me that the artist and the spectator.
I'm definitely a fan of metallic colors and finishes, and not only when it comes to drawing, but furniture or household items. I collected old and the metal is rusted shelving or plant, scraped down, and finished with beautiful metallic colors using a combination spray paint and hand applied finishes. I would like especially gold and copper.
Now, assuming that I should make my living room or bedroom bed using regular pencils art, but decided to add some finishing highlighting with a marker or a metal pen. In this case, since the metallic material will attract the eye because of its brilliance, I must be cautious about how and where I apply. To create balance, it should be applied in both a general trend – say along the center of the back wall and part of a design wall – similar to wall drawings produced artists such as Klimt or Van Gogh created. In this way the eye moves across the paper, instead of concentrating in one place.
Alternatively, I could use three colors metallic objects spaced evenly around the paper as one of the wall, an object in the foreground and another in middle earth. The idea is to keep an eye traveling around the picture plane. The same effect is obtained with your choice of color, hue, value, shape, and saturation. Draw a circle anywhere on the picture plane will draw the eye directly to this object, unless you have several other circles in your drawing. The larger the circle, the more attention it receives from the eye. On the other hand, a red circle, the smaller will be the focal point of a drawing, no matter how many other colored circles that you have, especially if they are values more dark. However, several red circles spaced evenly around the picture plane will lose its dominance effect. Simply, it saturates the eye.
If you want to experiment, take just a set of Prismacolor color – pastels, pencil art, or even pens and Prismacolor play. Testing the theory the circle, you can prove me wrong. Draw a bouquet of red, or circles of different sizes on your paper, then draw a black triangle anywhere you choose. You'll find that your eye will be drawn directly to the triangle rather than the red circles. However, draw a black triangle next to a circle red of similar size and see where your eye moves first. Chances are that your eye is drawn to the first red circle.
