Finding the Right Drawings-watercolor-paintings for You
Revitalize your interiors — introduce drawings and watercolor paintings to your home to evoke emotions, stir conversation and show off your personality and elevated taste.
Drawing is often considered one of the world’s oldest art forms, with historians pointing to cave art as evidence. In fact, a cave in South Africa, home to Stone Age–era artists, houses artwork that is believed to be around 73,000 years old. It has indeed been argued that cave walls were the canvases for early watercolorists as well as for landscape painters in general, who endeavor to depict and elevate natural scenery through their works of art. The supplies and methods used by artists and illustrators to create drawings and paintings have evolved over the years, and so too have the intentions. Artists can use their drawing and painting talents to observe and capture a moment, to explore or communicate ideas and convey or evoke emotion. No matter if an artist is working in charcoal or in watercolor and has chosen to portray the marvels of the pure human form, to create realistic depictions of animals in their natural habitats or perhaps to forge a new path that references the long history of abstract visual art, adding a drawing or watercolor painting to your living room or dining room that speaks to you will in turn speak to your guests and conjure stimulating energy in your space.
When you introduce a new piece of art into a common area of your home — a figurative painting by Italian watercolorist Mino Maccari or a colorful still life, such as a detailed botanical work by Deborah Eddy — you’re bringing in textures that can add visual weight to your interior design. You’ll also be creating a much-needed focal point that can instantly guide an eye toward a designated space, particularly in a room that sees a lot of foot traffic.
When you’re shopping for new visual art, whether it’s for your apartment or weekend house, remember to choose something that resonates. It doesn’t always need to make you happy, but you should at least enjoy its energy. On 1stDibs, browse a wide-ranging collection of drawings and watercolor paintings and find out how to arrange wall art when you’re ready to hang your new works.
Questions About Fashion Design Drawings
- What does a fashion designer do?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024Fashion designers create apparel, bags, shoes and accessories. Their work begins with sketches that show how the pieces will look. After they make illustrations, they produce patterns and select the fabrics and other materials that will go into producing the finished items. Designers also help to oversee the manufacturing process to ensure that garments and accessories reflect their visions. Shop a large collection of apparel, shoes, bags and accessories on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024The first fashion designer was Charles Frederick Worth. Born in England in 1825, Worth apprenticed for textile merchants and relocated to Paris. There, after gaining experience in sales, the British tailor opened a dressmaking department for a large French company before he started a workshop of tailors and seamstresses who produced his early designs for the Parisian elite. Worth was an innovator and an influencer of his day. While his achievements, which include helping pioneer modern couture, are of great historical significance, they shouldn’t overshadow those of important early women in fashion such as Marie Callot Gerber and Jeanne Paquin. After all, fashion takes a village. On 1stDibs, shop a range of historical, vintage and contemporary apparel and accessories.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024The difference between a dress designer and a fashion designer is what these design professionals create. A dress designer is someone who specifically creates custom dresses. Fashion designers may also design dresses, as well as many other types of clothing and accessories, such as blouses, suits, skirts, trousers, jeans, handbags and shoes. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of apparel and accessories.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 20, 2024The difference between fashion design and costume design is the end goal of the design process. Fashion design is the term for creating apparel, accessories, bags, shoes and jewelry intended for people to wear in their everyday lives for casual, work and special occasions. Costume design focuses on creating similar items for performers to wear during theatrical and other stage productions, television shows and films. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of apparel and accessories.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024Who the most famous fashion designer of the 1960s was is open to debate. Many designers helped define the looks of the decade, each influencing style in their own way. Among these notable designers were Mary Quant, André Courrèges, Pierre Cardin, Yves Saint Laurent, Bonnie Cashin, Hubert de Givenchy, Emilio Pucci, Paco Rabanne and Ossie Clark. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of vintage apparel and accessories from the 1960s.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 15, 2024Yes, Victoria Beckham is really a fashion designer. In 2008, the former member of the Spice Girls founded her eponymous luxury fashion label. She then introduced a lower-priced diffusion line called Victoria Victoria Beckham in 2011. Many celebrities, including Jennifer Lopez, Meghan Markle and Kim Kardashian, have been spotted wearing her pieces. Explore an assortment of Victoria Beckham apparel and accessories on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 18, 2024Yves Saint Laurent was a fashion designer for nearly five decades. He started to work for Christian Dior during the 1950s, when Saint Laurent was still in his teens. He established his eponymous couture house with Pierre Bergé in 1962 and didn’t retire from designing until 2002. Find vintage Yves Saint Laurent bags, clothing and accessories from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 23, 2024Claire McCardell was the designer often called the Mother of American Fashion in the 1940s. An American designer, she helped introduce women's sportswear to the United States and was particularly well-known for her bias-cut, loose-fitting Monastic dress. When World War II broke out in the 1940s, she designed pieces out of readily available materials like denim, calico and wool jersey, introducing new fabrics for women's clothing that would remain popular well after the close of the war. Many people point to McCardell as one of the first successful American fashion designers. Shop a collection of Claire McCardell apparel on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 10, 2025Coco Chanel was considered one of the leading fashion designers in the 1920s and ’30s in Paris. The first Chanel shop was established in 1910 on rue Cambon by the young milliner Gabrielle Chanel, who had picked up the nickname “Coco” while working as a club singer. The boutique drew the attention of the Parisian fashion elite, who popularized her wide-brimmed Chanel Modes hats. Soon, she added a sportswear store in the Normandy resort town of Deauville, where Coco set the tone for her defining sense of style — traditionally masculine garments reimagined for feminine shapes, made from simple jersey fabric. Effortless and elegant, Chanel's designs promoted comfort and grace in women’s wear that had been dominated in the previous century by complicated layers of fabric and cumbersome corsets. She followed this success with a couture house, opened in 1915 in Biarritz. In 1926, Chanel introduced her first little black dress, reclaiming a color that had once been reserved for mourning and working-class women. That same decade, she debuted her perfume, Chanel No. 5, as well as the Chanel suit with a fitted skirt, inspired by the boxy lines of men’s clothing and employing a sporty tweed. During the 1920s, she also unveiled the predecessor for the 2.55 Flap bag, which remains one of Chanel's most popular offerings. Shop a large selection of Chanel apparel, bags and accessories on 1stDibs.
