Art isn't limited to paper, pencil, and colors; it goes beyond that. It is a method to express your emotions, thoughts, and feelings. It is also found to be therapeutic by some.  Whether it is painting or sketching here are some tips to get started: 1. Brush Pen Techniques: You can use them for calligraphy and even for creating bold sketches or posters.  ◇ For Calligraphy : Calligraphy entails faux and real calligraphy.  ○ For the real kind, the upstrokes are supposed to be very light and put minimal pressure while the downstrokes are supposed to be thicker and firm. ○ For faux, create an outline of the word and then fill it in.
