Strathmore is excited to expand their initiative to offer consumers educational information as it relates to art. The video series called “Artist How-To” videos launched in May, 2015, and in these short video segments, Strathmore has paired with professional artists to offer artist tips and techniques as it relates to a specific type of art and mediums.
The newest additions to the collection of “Artist How-To” are three new videos created by artist Justin Maas. In these short 2-4 minute videos, Justin explains his tips and techniques for creating portrait artwork using toned papers. This content is great for artists just starting out with toned papers, or for those who have interest in creating portraits but need a bit of guidance on where to begin. In the first video, Justin provides an overview of why an artist may choose to use Toned paper, and how to use it. In video 2, he covers materials needed to create portraits on Toned paper and shows viewers how to set up their work space. In video 3, he demonstrates a finished piece from start to finish, while narrating his tips and techniques.
The three videos available in the Toned Paper Portraits “Artist How-To” set include:
- Video 1: Introduction
- Video 2: Materials Needed
- Video 3: Demonstration of Finished Portrait
All of these new videos are available on Strathmore’s YouTube channel at: https://www.youtube.com/user/StrathmoreArtist
You can download the videos directly from Vimeo. Simply click the “Download” button below the video.
