The Oil Painting Course is a practical, easy-to-follow quide through the different techniques involved in oil painting.

Akvarel je díky své jedinečné citlivosti a transparentnosti umožňující zachytit ty nejprchavější a nejpomíjivější okamžiky v přírodě možná nejpopulárnějším kreslířským médiem. Tekutý charakter akvarelu z něj dělá také médium vzrušující a nepředvídatelné. Pro nezkušeného malíře může být tento prvek nejistoty zprvu zneklidňující, ovšem výsledkem bázlivého a opatrného přístupu může být naopak jen slabé, bezduché a standardní dílo. Tajemství úspěchu akvarelové malby spočívá v energické práci a sebedůvěře. Jakmile se jednou naučíte uvolnit a popustit si otěže, zjistíte s potěšením, jak velmi často udělá barva práci za vás - někdy bývá nejzajímavější a nejnádhernějších účinků dosaženo kombinací výtvarného záměru a prosté náhody. Akvarel může být občas iritující a frustrující, ale nikdy není nudný.

Contrary to popular belief, oil is not a "difficult" medium to work with. On the contrary, it is an excellent medium for beginners because it is very easy to correct mistakes, either by erasing or repainting. Oil is also a highly flexible medium; its smooth consistency allows for considerable manipulation on the canvas, creating an endless range of textures and effects due to its slow drying time. When thinned with a solvent, it can be used to lay down subtle, transparent glazes that seem to glow with inner light. When applied directly from the tube, it can create thick, rich impastos, where the texture of the paint and brush strokes become an integral part of the final appearance of the work.

Pastels capture lightning in a bottle, as this medium works spectacularly well when painting quickly. Pastels blend smoothly and swiftly, allowing you to portray the immediate moment—those brief shifts of light or sudden scenes—before they fade away. Choose from soft pastels with vibrant colors that smudge perfectly, hard pastels for adding crisp details, easily controlled pencils, and oil pastels for buttery strokes. Apply these to a variety of surfaces, including pastel, watercolor, charcoal, and velour papers, as well as canvas and cotton fabrics. Experiment with texture, color, and toning. Accessories such as craft knives, charcoal, torchons, brushes, tissues, and fixatives create a diversity of effects and protect the finished painting. Directions explain how to clean, erase, and fix pastels. A gallery of modern paintings will help you hone your skills in overlaying color, feathering, blending, working on canvas, using colored grounds, mixing media, making expressive strokes, pointillism, hatching and crosshatching, and using glasspaper.
