Answer 1
comic
Answer 2
The ideal answer should include:
1. Hokusai uses a brush and calligraphic ink, which are traditional in Japanese art, to depict a figure playing an instrument.
2. The use of a liquid medium and a flexible brush creates expressive and bold contour lines in a complete work of art.
3. Rembrandt uses ink, gouache, and a pen to create a spontaneous, quick composition, which was most likely a study for a painting and not intended as a final artwork.
4. Rembrandt uses cross-hatching and brown washes of ink to suggest shadow and spatial depth, and he applies white gouache to create areas of light.
