There’s a lot of stuff in these pages that maybe gets buried in the chronological nature of a web-blog.
So, here are some of the more useful category searches and sub-pages:
- My Books < Everything I know in one place, just to save you time.
- My Online Classes < My older Craftsy.com classes, recently re-branded as BluPrint
- Step by Step Demos < Posts with work-in-progress narration.
- Sketching Tips and Tricks < Helpful tips and suggestions for self-training.
- Free Videos < Only a few things here, but I think there’s some good stuff :)
- Download Workshop Handouts < Free PDF files from my past UrbanSketchers workshops
- Painting in Watercolor < This is the good stuff :)
- #OneWeek100People < This is the best exercise for learning life drawing. If you only do one kind of self-teaching, this is it. Watch me do my own homework.
- #30x30DirectWatercolor < All the posts related to our annual painting marathon.
- Watercolor Painting Gear < What I use when painting in watercolor.
- Drawing/Sketching Gear < There’s no end to sketching gear. This is my ‘basic kit’ to help you get started.
- Reviews of Art Materials < Field testing various Urban Sketchers oriented gear.
Thanks for stopping by, and best of luck with your drawing and painting!
