ARTicles

A wealth of information regarding art materials, techniques, history and masters is available in a series of exclusive Curtisward help guides in store.

Art materials

These guides cover some of the most common art techniques and materials and help to shed some light on what they are, how they have been applied throughout their history and how they came to be. We give detailed descriptions of what the materials are comprised of and the techniques that can be used to get the best from each medium. Broken down into clear sections for easy reference, we hope you find them useful and help you to make an informed choice when choosing your own materials.
