Do you have trouble with ... hands?

I came across this hands tutorial today, at WetCanvas:



It's a three page "Demonstration on Painting Hands" by Leslie Pease.

I just wish I had found it several weeks ago, when Maria was painting her dancer.

Article: Acrylic Painting on Paper

Winsor & Newton offer an article by Derek Massey, on Acrylic Painting on Paper:



Derek Massey has been a full time professional UK artist since 1987.

Mr Massey states in his article: "The end result is as good as a traditional oil painting, with the added advantage of a very fast drying time...plus little or none of the odour one associates with oil paints...has all the qualities of a water colour and the added dimension this paint has to offer..."

Click here to have the artist guide you with step by step photographs of his works in progress, explaining his techniques throughout.
