How to Paint and Draw

Find the budding artist within as you develop your skills in drawing, watercolors, acrylics, and oils. Review the essential materials and equipment; then complete a project for each technique you try. Draw a study of a head in profile using conte crayons on tinted paper, blend soft pastels to produce a skyscape, work from dark to light on a watercolor still life -- your pictures will demonstrate a growing mastery of different media and techniques.
