Drawings
Drawing is an essential artistic outlet for Dale Chihuly. He draws with a great deal of energy, using acrylics, markers, chalk, and fistfuls of pencils. More often than not, he uses acrylic paints in squeezable bottles. Chihuly usually lays the background colors with a mop or a broom and draws with large gestures using squeeze bottle paint.
