We are professional artists that teach art based on our experience and creative process in a studio environment. We are the first to acknowledge that there are many other process to create art as valid as ours. This page has links to other sites that we have reviewed for you and found useful and informative to understand our creative process and the way that other artists create.
This is a fairly comprehensive site about oil painting techniques and historical references. It is very well organized and you can read the pages as if they were chapters in a book.
This is a great website with lots of information about direct and indirect oil painting techniques and easy to navigate. It is a good read if you want to go deeper into the process and painting terms that I teach at the studio. Also, if you have the budget, I will recommend Gamblin Oil Painting Materials. In my opinion, they are one of the best .
These are video tutorials and articles about acrylic painting techniques. The site also features articles and tutorials for oils, pastels, and watercolors painting. I found the information in the video tutorials to be mostly very helpful for beginner students, but the navigation of the site is a bit chaotic and packed with advertisements.
Although we have reviewed personally and recommended the above sites, neither Southwest 7 Arts, Llc. nor The Berea Little Red Schoolhouse Foundation, Inc. are responsible for the functioning nor content produced and published on the above websites.
