Charcoal

Charcoal is made from charred wood and is used in both initial sketches and finished drawings. It can be easily smudged or erased, making it versatile for corrections. To make charcoal drawings permanent, a fixative like resin or gum is required. It’s especially useful for sketching first ideas on walls or canvas.

Porcelain

Porcelain is a hard, durable material made from clay, primarily composed of the mineral kaolinite. It is fired at high temperatures, resulting in a fine, white, and often translucent finish. Porcelain is used to create art objects and a wide range of household items such as dishes and bowls. Porcelain items are especially popular for painting with special glazes due to their smooth surface and ability to hold intricate designs.

Engraving

Engraving is a printmaking technique where a metal plate or surface is directly cut using a sharp engraving tool called a burin. The tool creates deep lines or grooves, which are then filled with ink. The plate is pressed onto paper with heavy pressure, transferring the inked image. This process results in a clear and precise print.
