The Mastering Techniques Series  is a completely new set of videos from master artist and life-drawing instructor Glenn Vilppu, focused on helping you get the most out of the drawing materials and techniques available to you today! 

In this broad-based series of videos, Glenn delivers his message in his usual warm, open, caring manner, so you can benefit immediately from his decades of drawing and painting.  If you like someone who simplifies understanding of even the most complicated subjects, then this training will have you glued to your seat as he walks you through demonstrations of how he draws with a wide variety of media.

In this new DVD series, in addition to reinforcing his other teachings by elaborating on his drawing procedures throughout these demonstrations, he gives you the nitty-gritty on how to get the most out of the medium you are using.   Glenn demonstrates the mastery of different media that will give you the added edge you’ve been looking for in your artwork.  This training is loaded with tips, strategies, and ideas that will ensure your success as an artist in whatever medium you choose.  

Because this is only a sampling of the media that Glenn has become a master at during his lifetime, we anticipate that the series is very likely to be added to over time. There are currently 4 different mediums demonstrated in detail in the special release of this new series: 

• In the Fountain Pen & Waterbrush DVD, he shows you the timeless techniques of pen, ink & wash, and how this has been modernized and simplified by the use of the best available tools of today and how you can get absolutely stunning effects with the use of ink and wash. 
• In the Charcoal & Chamois DVD, he teaches you how this often-seen-as-"messy"-medium can actually be much more forgiving than most other mediums and how you can create masterpieces with charcoal & a chamois.  
• In the 3 Colors on Toned Paper DVD, you will get to learn how to use your paper color as your medium tone and how using only 3 colors can enhance the depth of your drawing, making it practically jump to life right in front of your eyes!

In the Head Painting DVD, he shows you how to work with paint, in a larger format than we usually see him working in, a technique that many people don't realize is considered a specialty of his.  This video documented how he turns this blank canvas into a finely detailed portrait in just under 2 hours.

Here is a brief sampling of some of the tips and tricks you will learn in this video:  

• How to strategically select your range of colors when mixing your palette
• Common mistakes when painting eyes and how you do them realistically
• Subtle ways to add expression or a sense of personality to the painting
• How to create realistic hair with just the right amount of volume
• How to use lighting, reflections and atmosphere to your advantage
• The proper use of contours for the most realistic results
• A quick trick to incorporate color at the finishing stages in order to direct the eye where you want it to go and to balance the composition

Here’s what others who've studied Vilppu's other materials have to say:

“I am retired and decided to ‘go to art school’ and one of the classes was drawing the human figure - a subject I enjoy, but am not so good at.  Well, when I had to learn the skeleton, musculature and then the body, I searched for a way to supplement my study at home.  I found your DVDs and was amazed that there is still a teacher around who actually TEACHES, rather than tossing a handout, saying a few words about technique, and telling you to ‘Go to it’ whether you know how to or not.  Your DVDs were so engrossing, I spent hours following Glenn as he drew and instructed.   If only I had known about him before getting a student loan to go to this University, I would have sent for your Art School in a Box from the beginning.”  Therese H. Xech

“Since I retired 9 years ago, I’ve been doing drawing and figurative sculpture (including casting some of my work in bronze).  I’ve taken a number of courses and must have acquired almost 50 books on drawing and artistic anatomy.  You should know that I find Glenn’s instruction on the DVDs the most effective way I’ve experienced for transferring knowledge to someone else.”  Joe Krutulis

"I was blown away at how clear he made complex drawing issues.   I also like how he approaches all drawing the same -- without bias as to the application of said drawing ability.  He teaches foundations that will help you your entire career.  I have read through the drawing manual now and watched some of Glenn's instructional videos -- and the difference it has made has been tremendous!  He cuts through the veil of mystery that a lot of instructors place around artistic topics.  As I indicated, everything just becomes clear.  In terms of impacting my life I suppose his materials (such as the satchel) has made toting my supplies much easier and it has kept everything at my finger-tips.  In general I have more confidence in my abilities, or in knowing that my abilities are improving."     Jay Brushett 

“I’m going to be a senior in high school soon and I just wanted to thank you so much for teaching your figure drawing method.  I have recently been taking fundamentals of figure drawing classes, and my teacher recommended your books and videos.  Your material is really helpful for me.  You see, I am working on my portfolio for college and your videos have shown me how to really understand what I am drawing and why.  I was always taught to just ‘draw what you see’, which led me to draw the figure, relying heavily on contour, and unable to tell why it didn't look right.  For the past few years, I slowly got better at understanding proportion and the structure underneath the figure, but it wasn't until I discovered your videos that I had a real breakthrough - particularly in analyzing the model instead of copying.  You have completely changed my way of drawing, and I just wanted to thank you immensely.  The tools I have gained from your lessons have also helped me in my approach to animation, which is incredibly valuable to me.” Naomi Hicks

“I also wanted to thank you for bringing the love back into drawing for me.  Wherever my sketch book is, the Vilppu Drawing Manual is right next to it, and now, so with the Sketching on Location Manual.  Every time I watch your videos or open one of your manuals, I learn something new, even though I could have sworn I’ve read that before.  You are a great teacher and true master.  Thank you.”  Tony Gaddis

“I have always wanted to draw and be an animator, however I thought that you either could draw or you couldn’t, ‘God-given’ type of thing.  Trying how-to books and such never helped really.  Seeing Glenn’s drawings almost literally jumping off the page and dancing ignited a passion in me so strong I couldn't resist picking up a pencil.”  Jason Hill
