Watch it and you?ll be inspired to take up your brushes and paint a picture so good you?ll hardly believe you painted it yourself.

An Introduction to Watercolour

Now for the first time since its release on video (1986) you can enjoy lessons from the late master artist Jack McDonogh as he demonstrates how easy it is to get started in watercolours. He covers all the basics of paper, brushes, paints, basic techniques and invaluable tips that he used in his paintings.

 First Jack shows you how to master the three basic elements of landscape ? sky, trees and earth. Then Jack demonstrates how you can combine all of them to create a magnificent painting of your own. See the trailer at the bottom of the page.

An Introduction to Pencil Sketching

Acknowledged as a classic in its field, this valuable 80 page learning tool has been out of print now for many years. This sought after publication has now been re-released as an e-book.

The following is taken directly from the ?Introduction? of the book: ?Practice, practice ? forever practice. There is no such thing as an instant artist in any medium and there is no easy way to become a competent artist.
This book has been written to help the beginner, with two main aims in mind:
  • To introduce the reader to pencil sketching
  • To show the importance and need for an aspiring artist, particularly in landscape, to be able to draw scenes in pencil before painting them in watercolour, oil colour or any other medium.
There are many ways to sketch with the pencil, so do not be misled into thinking that the methods used in this book are the only ones. They are my methods. But there are certain fundamental rules in drawing that all artists must know. This book sets out to explain a few of them.
Sketching with the pencil has never ceased to give me great pleasure. I hope it can do the same for you. And remember practice, practice, practice.? Jack McDonogh
"...How fortunate that this knowledge of his many years of tutoring and painting has been preserved for future generations of artists!...The DVD and CD contain a wealth of information to help the beginner and the advanced student to understand the skills that must be developed in order to become proficient in the medium...I strongly recommend the DVD and CD to all who seek assistance in becoming adept in handling this difficult medium."
