Finding the Right Drawings-watercolor-paintings for You
Revitalize your interiors — introduce drawings and watercolor paintings to your home to evoke emotions, stir conversation and show off your personality and elevated taste.
Drawing is often considered one of the world’s oldest art forms, with historians pointing to cave art as evidence. In fact, a cave in South Africa, home to Stone Age–era artists, houses artwork that is believed to be around 73,000 years old. It has indeed been argued that cave walls were the canvases for early watercolorists as well as for landscape painters in general, who endeavor to depict and elevate natural scenery through their works of art. The supplies and methods used by artists and illustrators to create drawings and paintings have evolved over the years, and so too have the intentions. Artists can use their drawing and painting talents to observe and capture a moment, to explore or communicate ideas and convey or evoke emotion. No matter if an artist is working in charcoal or in watercolor and has chosen to portray the marvels of the pure human form, to create realistic depictions of animals in their natural habitats or perhaps to forge a new path that references the long history of abstract visual art, adding a drawing or watercolor painting to your living room or dining room that speaks to you will in turn speak to your guests and conjure stimulating energy in your space.
When you introduce a new piece of art into a common area of your home — a figurative painting by Italian watercolorist Mino Maccari or a colorful still life, such as a detailed botanical work by Deborah Eddy — you’re bringing in textures that can add visual weight to your interior design. You’ll also be creating a much-needed focal point that can instantly guide an eye toward a designated space, particularly in a room that sees a lot of foot traffic.
When you’re shopping for new visual art, whether it’s for your apartment or weekend house, remember to choose something that resonates. It doesn’t always need to make you happy, but you should at least enjoy its energy. On 1stDibs, browse a wide-ranging collection of drawings and watercolor paintings and find out how to arrange wall art when you’re ready to hang your new works.
Questions About Watercolours And Drawings
- What drawings did Picasso draw?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 13, 2024Picasso was so prolific that it's impossible to list all of the drawings that he drew. The Spanish artist produced thousands of drawings over the course of his life. Some of his most well-known line drawings depict animals. Examples include Dog, Penguin, Camel and Dove of Peace. Explore a range of Pablo Picasso art on 1stDibs.
- What is a drawing box?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021A drawing box is set which has a collection of various instruments required for drawing purposes. It comes in various sizes based on the number of instruments packed. On 1stDibs, you can find a variety of drawing boxes ranging from the 1930s to 20th century.
- What did Giacometti draw?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 1, 2024During the course of his life, Giacometti drew many things. However, the human form was the most common subject for his drawings. The Swiss artist is particularly well known for his drawings depicting figures in various poses and positions, themes also used in his sculptures. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of Alberto Giacometti art from some of the world's top galleries and dealers.
- Are Picasso drawings valuable?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 14, 2024Yes, some Picasso drawings are valuable. In terms of auction sales, Picasso is the top-grossing artist of all time. However, his paintings often sell for considerably more than his drawings, largely due to the fact that the prolific artist produced tens of thousands of sketches during his life. Generally, the subject matter, date and condition of a Picasso drawing will determine how much it is worth. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable art dealer can give you an estimated value for a particular work. Find a collection of Pablo Picasso art on 1stDibs.
- Is drawing a fine art?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019
Yes, drawing is a fine art.
- What is a draw leaf table?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023A draw-leaf table is a type of expandable table typically used for dining. The design includes one or more extensions called leaves that hide away within the table until you’re ready to use them. Shop a collection of draw-leaf tables on 1stDibs.
- Who created realistic drawing?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024It's really not possible to say who created realistic drawing — drawing techniques developed slowly over centuries. Work that involves illusionistic techniques of realism dates back to the classical world, such as the deceptive trompe l’oeil used since ancient Greece. Italian and Northern Renaissance artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Albrecht Dürer were interested in drawing subjects as realistically as possible, and 17th-century Dutch artists pushed realistic art further. Realism emerged in France in the 19th century as an art movement through artists like Honoré Daumier, who sought to depict and comment upon everyday life through their work. Explore a selection of Realist art on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021A draw-leaf dining table means that the table’s leaves are stored under the main tabletop. The top of the table is lifted slightly on its frame and the leaves pulled out on each end. Relatedly, a drop-leaf table is a table with a fixed center section, but on either side of that, there are hinged leaves that can be raised or lowered according to your specific needs. The purpose of a drop-leaf table is to save space when the table is not in use. Drop-leaf tables can also be used as nightstands, side tables, coffee tables, and desks. Find a collection of antique and vintage draw-leaf dining tables on 1stDibs today.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Henry Moore frequently used the wax resist process in his drawings, which involved sketching the forms in wax crayon and coating the drawing with a wash of gray watercolor. He then went in with black ink, gray and black crayons and white watercolor. Find a selection of Henry Moore artwork from top art dealers around the world on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To draw, Pablo Picasso used a wide variety of implements. Specifically, he drew with pencils, pens, charcoal, ink, chalk and pastels. What materials he reached for depended on what he was depicting and what was readily available. Find a selection of Pablo Picasso art on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021A black and white drawing is frequently called exactly that — a black and white drawing. A drawing or painting that is referred to as monochrome or monochromatic means that it has been created using only one color (this means that a black and white drawing may be referred to as monochromatic). Shop a collection of antique, vintage and contemporary black and white drawings from some of the world’s top dealers on 1stDibs.
- Why did Henry Moore draw sheep?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 13, 2024Henry Moore drew sheep for a few reasons. The British artist thought sheep were peaceful and found watching them graze to be relaxing. He also liked how they stood out against the landscape due to their coloring, likening it to the way a statue draws the eye away from the rest of its surroundings. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of Henry Moore art.
- Why did Jim Dine draw tools?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024Jim Dine drew tools for several reasons. He believes that tools connect humans with the past, and he is interested in capturing the history of humanity through the tools used by previous generations in his art. In addition, tools hold personal significance for Dine, whose family owned a hardware store in Cincinnati, Ohio. On 1stDibs, find a collection of Jim Dine art.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024There is no single best medium for realistic drawings. Artists can choose between pencil, charcoal, pen and other materials for drawing realistic works.

- 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 27, 2025There is actually more than one famous artist who draws birds. Perhaps the best-known is John James Audubon, an American ornithologist, naturalist and painter. He was notable for his expansive studies documenting American birds and his detailed illustrations depicting them in their natural habitats. Some have called artist and ornithologist David Allen Sibley "the most important bird illustrator since Audubon" due to his work. His illustrated Sibley Guides to Birds have sold more than six million copies.
