Art is the expression of someone feelings that are poured into the creations in the form of motion, form, tone poems, which contain elements of beauty, and can affect the feelings of others. Although arts definition are vary and not specific, but I though it was quite reflecting it.
Throughout history many poets, writers and musicians who have attempted to define it. One thinks of music as “the language of the gods”, or some are saying that “the music begins at the time of speech ending”. David Ewen noted a definition of music made by the compilers of the dictionary as “The science and art of rhythmic combination of tunes, both vocal and instrumental, which includes melody and harmony as the expression of all things to express mainly the emotional aspect”.

So far you’ve been using paint that has been thinned to make it more fluid. This time you will be using very dry paint with a technique called drybrushing. It creates a rough, textured appearance because the paint is so dry and is used so sparingly that it doesn’t fully cover the canvas.
You can also drybrush to add a small layer of color to an already painted area to subtly change the look. I use this technique a lot in portraiture to add a hint of color to cheeks or a glisten of a highlight. I sometimes refer to this as rouging because you rub or scrub into the surface much like you would with makeup.
For this technique, use a sable or synthetic filbert or flat brush. Their shapes work well for both scrubbing
and drybrushing. Once the shape and foundation of the face are painted andfilled in, I drybrush in the small details of color and tone.

Shadding is one of important element, even its the foundation for any realistic rendering, regardless of the
medium, can be found in the five elements of shading a sphere. If you can create a believable and realistic depiction of a sphere (a ball on a table), the ability to render everything else is right at your fingertips.
If you’re asking why is the understanding of the sphere so important when drawing people and faces? Everything on the face is curved and rounded, and replicates the surface of the sphere.
