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.

Surreal Monsters- Acrylic Paint
Example:


Start with painting your canvas with multiple colors using runny acrylics paint and a big brush.
While it's wet - apply a piece (or multiple pieces) of a plastic wrap, you can "dab" some areas with crumbled plastic, paper towel, or a rag.
Let it dry , then remove the plastic.
Look at the shapes that were created by the plastic. See if you can find any creatures there. They don't have to be realistic!
Outline what you see with a pen or marker.


The creatures can be really weird....
Look for more.....
Take one creature at a time and paint in the details. For the most part you don't have to invent anything - just enhance what you see and what your creature already looks like.
Add highlights and shadows around the outline of the shape. You don't have to paint in the middle of the shape because the creature already has an interesting texture and details.
Add some details for the surroundings... Have fun!!!!
