Ecoline ink and coloured pencils on Steinbach paper.
Craftsmanship, at its core, is the demonstrated ability to manipulate materials and techniques to achieve a specific artistic vision. This manipulation is not arbitrary; it is determined by a deep understanding of materials science, physics, and the inherent limitations and possibilities within a given medium.
The earliest artifacts in which prehistoric humans may have been able to express themselves artistically and that are generally accepted as art date back to the Upper Paleolithic. This includes the famous cave paintings of Grotte Chauvet, Altamira, Pech Merle, Nerja, and the Lascaux Caves (Wikipedia).
