Drawing and Painting Mix

Drawing and painting media have been mixed together for centuries. Technically, this combination would be a mixed media piece. Sometimes, the drawing is done first and the painting over it; however, two or more media are often applied together purposefully, for emphasis, texture or variety.


Correggio; The Annunciation; ca. 1522–25; pen and black ink, brush and gray wash, highlighted extensively with white gouache squared in red chalk, on pink-washed paper; "Correggio (Antonio Allegri) (Italian): The Annunciation" (19.76.9) In Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History .
