In order to be able to experiment with new and unconventional materials a basic knowledge of traditional conventions is a necessity.


This results from the curiosity of contemporary artists to explore alternatives to traditional materials and techniques. There is a growing need and desire amongst serious professional artists and students to know more about the composition and properties of the art media that they utilise in the creative process. This book covers most paint/ink media used by artists. All materials are discussed in detail enough for artists to intelligently experiment in the studio without risking catastophic failure of their artworks. The purpose of this book is to make it possible for artists to make their own paint media in their studio.
