On the ImagineFX website you’ll find a lot of excellent walkthroughs on a variety of subjects.

ImagineFX is targeted towards digital artists, but a lot of the techniques and principles translate very well to traditional media.

A few highlights

Colin Bradley pastels

Corien

Colin Bradley has a lot of pastel Work In Progress (WIP) videos on YouTube.

I usually use a little more ‘different’ colors (for white not only white and gray shades, but also blue/pink/purple) than he does, but it’s fun to watch.

The Painting and Drawing channel regularly uploads video tutorials to YouTube.

Sadly the videos are only online for 1 week (so you’d better save them). As they explain:

Our YouTube channel acts as a TV Anytime feature for the programmes that appear on our UK Satellite channel each week, that’s why they are only available for one week. All of our programmes are available in extended versions on DVD.

Said DVD can be purchased on their  website http://www.thepaintinganddrawingchannel.co.uk/

Looks like you can watch live as well at the same time they air in the UK.
