A PROFESSIONAL GUIDE FOR THE ARTIST

PETER STANYER

One of the most important aspects of an

artist’s skill is their facility with various

techniques. All practicing artists will over

time develop their own style of drawing.

Technique is the means by which that

style is given expression. When an artist

is well versed in a wide range of

techniques, their creative vocabulary

becomes richer and artistic possibilities

are greatly increased.

The artist’s use of technique is however

largely governed by the choice of media.

The artist must know which media will

give the best result and how to use them.

This book is intended for artists who are

looking to expand their knowledge and

understanding of materials and the wide

range of available media. It will teach

them about the characteristics of these

media and materials and how to use a

variety of materials and methods to get

the required effect.
