What are the advantages of using wet drawing media over using dry media?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Liquid media flow more easily onto the surface than media such as chalk or metalpoint, allowing more expressive spontaneity. Compared to using some dry media, such as metalpoint, using wet media can be a quicker process. By diluting the wet media, the artist can create washes to achieve more subtle shading effects.
