This page will offer free short articles on materials, ideas and subjects for drawing and painting. They are all free to download and can be given away on other websites, as long as the content remains unaltered, and the file is not sold as part of a paid-for package. They are not going to be book-length, just fairly brief at 10 to 12 pages or so (pdf file format), with some pictures. I will add some more when I can, but my main activity is in producing paintings, not videos.
1. Small Pictures in Oil-Pastels. Download pdf here.. This is a small group of several oil-pastels, done during 2009 and 2010, along with my own notes about them. Pdf approx 2.4Mb. I have since changed the title from "Things to Do with Oil-pastels" because it appears that the title had a double meaning.....very subtle....but hopefully now fixed.
2. Welsh Poppies demo. Download pdf here.. Stages of an oil-pastel picture from start to finish. Pdf approx 18Mb.
.
Just completed; a still-frame video version of the same article is now on YouTube, but embedded here to view directly; just over 8 minutes in length. Also has a gentle music track with it, so make sure your speakers are switched on.

Free Photos Download.
These photos are my own and are now surplus to requirements. The files are zipped and can be downloaded from the given URLs. They are free, no royalties, no nothing. Please note each one is a large file, so will take a long time on slower connections. At some point I'll get around to re-packaging them in smaller files.
