Graphics

Graphics is a type of art that uses different kinds of lines, strokes, spots and points as its main drawing tools. Color in graphics, as opposed to painting, plays an auxiliary role. Traditionally easel graphics includes watercolor, pastel, gouache, tempera, inking, fusain, pencil drawing, sauce, sanguine, sepia drawing, etc. These border lines, though, are rather contingent, as watercolor, gouache, pastel and tempera can be used for creating both graphic and painterly works of art in terms of their style and character.
