Tips and Techniques

Chris Thornton Design Fun with Depth
A picture book on where and how to shade for added depth to your painting. This is something I have been sharing with my students since 1980. It was originally hand written, in about 1984 it was typed, then onto the computer, now the web and I can share it with everyone. Isn’t technology amazing! Believe it or not the paintings in this are all from the original text. They sure have been cut and pasted a lot!

 

Chris Thornton Designs Faux Finishing
Here you will find simple faux finishing techniques that are used repeatedly in my packets and books. This is also a picture book.
