A thorough overview of various medium including ink, pencil, charcoal, watercolor, pastels and others. Each medium is broken out into three skill levels with step-by-step projects using different techniques. I didn’t make it all the way through, but found the projects helpful for both refreshing familiar techniques and trying out new tools.
