Each tutorial starts from the basics of materials used to the techniques of using the medium at hand and palette choices where applicable. The CD includes demonstrations in pencil using various techniques from blending with tools and hatching techniques (masked boobies), using a range of pencil hardnesses to smoothen and create blended effects (lion), graphite powder brushed onto paper (Fighting Conch Shell demonstration) to careful hatching on smooth grained paper where smooth detailed effects can be applied without blending (Crayfish). Alla prima (wet-into-wet) oil techniques are demonstrated on the Horse and Mandarin Duck and Seahorses are rendered in fast drying acrylics, whilst the Alaskan Husky uses watercolour and an oil painting bristle brush to create effortless soft fur effects and the Hyacinth Macaw demonstrates the swiftness and vibrancy of pastels. To accompany the videos, this beautifully presented multimedia product provides step-by-step analysis and commentry to each stage of the drawing/painting. | Video Sample Screenshot |
