Drawing is a form of visual art in which an artist uses instruments or tools to make marks on a surface. In fine art, drawing refers to “the linear realization of visual objects, concepts, emotions, and fantasies, including symbols and even abstract forms.” It is a graphic art, characterized by the central use of form or shape, lines, and sometimes patterns.
Paintbrushes have three main parts: the brush handle, the ferrule, and the bristles or filaments. The handle has a metal band attached to it; this is the ferrule. The ferrule is crimped and glued to the handle and the bristles or filaments to keep them bonded. The brush head is the tuft of natural bristles or synthetic filaments that holds the paint and is the most essential part of any paintbrush.

WHY DO WE PAINT? - PAINTING IN AUSTIN, TX - ART BY THE HOMELESS IN AUSTIN
Painting is one of the oldest fine arts in human history. It was first done in prehistoric times, by people who created pictographs (i.e., petrograms), communicative rock and cave paintings that date back to the Stone Age. Painting allows for the expression of ideas and emotions in a visual way. As a fine art, it is the practice of applying one type of artistic media to a solid surface, to create an aesthetic image. The term “painting” refers to both the creative endeavor and the artistic product that is produced.
