Interesting Facts About Art in General
What Has Been the Most Expensive Painting in History?
“Salvator Mundi” (Savior of the World)
The most expensive painting in history is “Salvator Mundi” (Savior of the World) by Leonardo da Vinci. This Renaissance masterpiece was auctioned in 2017 for the astonishing sum of $450.3 million. This set a record as the most expensive painting in history, including the additional charges from the auction house. It was purchased by the Department of Culture and Tourism of Abu Dhabi and is currently on display at the Louvre Abu Dhabi.
“Salvator Mundi” depicts Christ as the Savior of the World. Painted around the year 1500, this work was believed to be lost until it was discovered in 2005 and subsequently restored. The painting has become one of the most famous and controversial pieces in the art world, and its high sale price marked a milestone in art auctions.
Who Has Been the Best Muralist of All Time?
Diego Rivera
It is difficult to determine the best muralist of all time due to the subjectivity of art. However, prominent artists in this field include Diego Rivera, known for his Mexican murals with social and cultural themes, and David Alfaro Siqueiros, whose political and revolutionary works are iconic. Other notable muralists include José Clemente Orozco and Thomas Hart Benton. Each of them left a significant mark on art history with their distinctive styles and powerful messages depicted in murals.
Pen Drawing Technique
Pen drawing is an artistic technique that uses ink pens to create illustrations and lines. Unlike pencils, pens do not allow for erasing or correcting mistakes, which requires greater precision and planning. Pen drawing produces defined and uniform lines, and it can be combined with shading and texturing techniques to achieve interesting effects. It is a versatile and popular technique among artists.

Drawing and Coloring Pencils
The pencil is an essential tool for any draughtsman, and it’s important to understand which types of pencils you will most commonly use in your art.
We can categorize drawing pencils into several groups, including: graphite pencils, colored pencils, watercolor pencils, and pastel pencils.
Graphite Pencils
Have you ever noticed a number or letter on your pencil?
This combination of letters and numbers indicates the type of pencil, telling you how light or dark the stroke will be.
Graphite pencils are essential tools in drawing and art. They consist of a graphite core encased in wood or similar material. They come in a variety of hardness levels, ranging from 9H (the hardest) to 9B (the softest).
Harder pencils create lighter, sharper lines, while softer pencils produce darker, smoother tones. Artists use different pencil grades to achieve a wide range of tones and effects in their drawings.
Colored Pencils for Drawing
Colored pencils are popular tools in artistic drawing. They contain a pigment core bound by wax or other binders. Colored pencils allow for blending and layering different shades to create effects of shading and texture. They are versatile and used in various styles and techniques, from realistic illustrations to more stylized and abstract drawings.
These pencils come in a wide variety of brands and colors, making them the most diverse on the market.
Watercolor Pencils for Drawing
Watercolor pencils are versatile drawing tools. They have a water-soluble core, which allows for effects similar to traditional watercolor. When water is applied to the pencil marks, it creates a smooth, translucent appearance. These pencils are ideal for creating water effects and gradients in drawings.
Like colored pencils, watercolor pencils come in a wide range of colors, but the key difference is that they can be wet like paint in pencil form.
Pastel Pencils for Drawing
Pastel pencils are drawing tools containing compressed pastel pigments in pencil form. These pencils allow for drawing with the soft texture and tones characteristic of pastels, but with more precision and control. They can be blended and smudged to create shading, softness, and subtlety in the drawings. They are ideal for creating portraits, landscapes, and artworks with a soft, diffused look.
Pastel is similar to colored chalk, and these pencils should be applied with some prior knowledge of pastel techniques, as they differ from the three types mentioned earlier.
