Eye-Catching Arts with Colors

Art makes us creative because it stirs up our imagination to make something that is pleasing to the eyes. One of the most eye-catching arts is those with colors. There are different art mediums to choose from and choosing one depends from your own convenience, and style of drawing.

One of the most simple and popular art mediums is the color pencil. Color pencils are also known as colored pencils and pencil crayons. From simple drawings and crafts to professional creations, the variety of how color pencils are used is highly convenient for people of all ages. They are generally available in art stores, and bookstores in the school supplies section. They are also easy to store because of the little space that they occupy. In drawing, color pencils are also great because it empowers the users by allowing them to control precision in holding, making details, and creating depths.

Color pencils are like any other ordinary round, hexagonal, or square pencils made up of wooden shafts (usually made from cedar wood) used in writing and drawing but instead of graphite or charcoal as lead, color pencils have pigments. The pigments at the pencil’s core are held together by a binder that determines how colors appear on drawing surfaces like paper, illustration boards, and panels. The binders are either oil-based or wax-based.

Pencil colors that are oil-based are water-resistant in nature, and are typically sturdy. Oil binders help the colored pigment to create firmness that determines the intensity of color in every stroke and blending.

Wax-based color pencils, on the other hand, are easily prone to breakage and must be carefully handled and stored to avoid the dropping of the pencil. The waxy property of these colored pencils enables easy color layering and combination techniques more than the oil-based counterpart. Burnishing, a coloring technique that allows users to layer different colors and apply pressure to them with a lighter color, can be easily done with the use of wax-based color pencils because the wax combines them together.

Color pencil are admired for the easy blending of colors that they provide. With the proper coloring and handling techniques, you can create a wonderful color pencil masterpiece in just a matter of time.
