Books and DVDs
If you're interested in learning more about different art styles, or if you're looking to expand your personal collection of art books and DVDs, you've come to the right place. We have an impressive number of art instruction books, magazines, videos, and DVDs for artists, art teachers, students, and hobbyists alike. Whether you've been painting for years or have barely picked up a brush, you'll get the best guidance, advice, and instruction in painting, drawing, watercolors, acrylics, oils, pastels, mixed media, collage, and more from our art books and DVDs. These products are the perfect gifts for artists looking to hone their craft, learn new techniques, and find artistic inspiration!
Not only do we have instructive, educational, and even biographical books on a variety of mediums and subjects, but we also have coloring books. Despite what you may have heard, coloring books aren't just for kids; they make great gifts for adults, especially those who seem to have a lot on their plates. In a world where life feels overwhelming, give the special people in your life the gift of an artistic, creative outlet and watch how much happier and more relaxed they become.
Let's be honest: when it comes to putting a technique into practice, books can only teach us so much. That's why many revered and respected art teachers have created DVDs! DVDs give you the opportunity to learn as if you're in a classroom, following your teacher step-by-step as you create your own masterpieces. If you know someone who's wanted to get into the world of art with no idea about where to start, receiving one of these DVDs will give them a great, easy-to-understand introduction.
If you want to stay up to date with the latest news in the world of painting, or if you want to challenge yourself by learning new techniques on a regular basis, you should consider subscribing to The New Palette Magazine. You can purchase a one or two-year subscription and receive quarterly inspiration every January, April, July, and October. If you're interested in purchasing back issues, we have some available from The Palette Magazine and Watermedia Focus Workbook.
Our selection of art books and DVDs has a little something for everyone. Can't find what you're looking for? Give us a call, and we'll be happy to help.
