Jacqui Blackmans Art Studio with Galleries and Painting Techniques

Welcome to my Galleries and workshop,
you will find oil painting demonstrations, hints and tips on pen and ink,
art-e-books, oils cd rom and product information.
The site is continually developing, so if you like what you see please call again.

Painting techniques offers help to those wishing to try different media.
There are step by step instructions for One-stroke painting; Tole brush strokes; an introduction to Gouache paint and how to use it; flower painting instruction using Oils; blending Coloured Pencil using Zest-it; Pencil sketches and the pencil marks used; working with Parchment; Pen and Ink.

There are seven different Galleries you can visit, covering the following media - watercolour, acrylic, pastel, oil, gouache, pen and ink, pencil and Tole (one-stroke painting), along side some paintings are descriptions of the paint and painting techniques used.

Having made both oil and watercolour instructional painting videos in the past, it was time to move with technology. With encouragement from friends and family, I produced an Interactive Multimedia CD ROM, which gives oil painting instructions for use on canvas and watercolour paper, including many video clips to visually explain the written word. Also available are free ArtEbooks that you may enjoy.

The products I've reviewed and recommended are ones I use myself, most are available at our online shop J and Ts Art & Calligraphy including Zest-it; Ink; Dip Pen Nibs; Ruling Pens; Brushes; books, cd's and DVDs.

The Pen and Ink section of the site now offers information on Automatic Pens, what they are and how to use them. A review of a new range of excellent quality inks. Inking Backgrounds book.

Which Dip Pen nib and what to look for when buying them, also a guide to Ink and its use. We have a range of Vintage and dip pen nibs at www.dippennibs.co.uk
