Lines are everywhere. You can see lines in the grain of a piece of wood or in the cracks on a sidewalk.
In art, Line is an element of art that is the path of a moving point through space.
Lines are used to:
-
Create boundaries between shapes
-
Create boundaries between colors, textures or values
-
Lead the eye from one space to another
-
Create textures
-
Suggest emotional qualities

Grid drawing is a very old technique of transferring images (from sketches to a full size canvas or fresco, etc...)
Always make sure that the number of squares on the original picture and your working area are exactly the same (even if the size of the squares are bigger on the paper). This is because no matter how many times bigger (or smaller) you make the drawing, the proportions and dimensions can only stay the same if the number of boxes (squares) matches exactly.
Make sure you follow all steps below.

show depth in a painting
Grisaille (from French: gris - grey, [ɡri.zai]) is a term for painting executed entirely in monochromatic color scheme, usually in shades of grey or brown
You are going to draw a tile by looking at it. It is important to keep all proportions aligned. Then you will outline and stylize the drawing. And finally, paint the values with watercolor or coffee instead of paint.
If you use watercolor we will use one color and make many monochromatic values by diluting the color down with water. If you use coffee than any type of coffee will work. You need to make a strong one to achieve darker values.
INSTANT COFFEE works best as it dissolves perfectly an does not leave any particles behind.
Art Examples
Directions:
Pick a tile
Choose a tile from the choices that are available. Choose the one that truly interests you, one that intrigues you by its interesting subject matter, or by its composition.
Animal Tiles
Village Tiles
After picking a tile look carefully at it and study every area. Use your observation skills and take note of the values - the dark and light areas.
Next draw a 1 inch edge border around the paper
Mark all key points that will help you place the layout of the scene.
Start with the perimeter of the tile.
Check and compare all major proportions of the main areas.
It is also helpful to find the center of the tile and the drawing.
You can use it as a reference point.
Don't forget to check and compare all heights.
Use your pencil to find all major angles in the layout.
Transfer them directly onto your drawing.
Now break the big shapes into smaller details.
The last thing is to draw the rest of the details.
Outline your design with crow quill pen/ink.
Erase all pencil lines.
Stylize all corners in the drawing.
You can skip the small shapes though...
Copy texture that you see on the tile.
Use pointillism or/and other types of strokes.
Click on this image to zoom in.
Do a line drawing using regular pencil, drawing lightly so that you can easily erase. take your time during this step.
Start with laying out all major shapes. Make sure they are proportional to each other and the board itself.
Then draw in all the details...
The better your drawing is, the better your finished painting will be.
Do not create values (do not shade!!!)
Show darks and lights by drawing them as shapes without shading them in. You can also show different colors the same way. Draw the different colored shapes, but don't shade them in.
Be very accurate with proportions, placement of shapes, and with details.
Let me see your drawing before you go to the next step.
Paint
Next paint the piece.
For painting with coffee you will dilute instant coffee granules into water to create a "wash". You will use the wash to paint the variety of values. Follow the darks and lights in the tile as accurately as possible, translating these values into browns and sepia tones using coffee as your "paint".
Shapes touching each other should not be the same brown value.
Trace over your pencil design with a crow quill pen again.
Premix few washes that you are going to use for more delicate positive space.
Make light and medium washes.
Use flat and round watercolor brushes.
Don't forget to use paper towel to remove excess coffee from your brush as you paint.
Be patient and let the washes dry.
Each additional layer (or coat) of coffee - darkens the area.
