Solvents thin. Mediums enhance paint strength and appearance. Knowing the difference helps you control drying time, texture, and flow. From alkyds to solvent-free mixes, each option changes how your brush moves and how layers build. 🧑‍🎨 Presentation by Todd from our Outreach Team 😁 Thanks to our vendor partners at Winsor & Newton for the footage 🫶🏽 Special thanks to artists Scott Maier, & Alexandra Sutherland whose work we included here 🎥 Filmed at Blick Studios in Chicago, Illinois #oilpainting #artmaterials #paintingtechnique #oilmediums #artisttips

Oil pastels and oil paint sticks look similar, but they have distinct qualities that set them apart. Oil pastels never fully dry and require glass protection when displayed. Oil paint sticks dry like traditional oil paint and can be varnished. Both mediums provide artists with vibrant, blendable colors and the tactile freedom of direct hand application. 👩‍🎨 Presentation by Becca from our Merchandising Team 🤗Thanks to our vendor partners at Sennelier and R&F Handmade Paints for the supporting footage 🫶🏽 Special thanks to artist Kym Balthazar whose work we included here 🎥 Filmed at Blick Studios in Chicago, Illinois. #OilPastels #OilPaintSticks #ArtMaterials #ArtistTools #PaintingMediums

Ever wonder what kind of oil is in your paint—and why? Linseed is the most common, but it’s not the only one. Safflower, poppy, or walnut oils offer different drying qualities, colors, and long-term effects. 🧑‍🎨 Presentation by Todd from our Outreach Team 😁 Thanks to our vendor partners at Winsor & Newton for the footage 🫶🏽 Special thanks to artists Lauren Pretorius Art & Eileen Murphy Studio whose work we included here 🎥 Filmed at Blick Studios in Chicago, Illinois #oilpainting #paintingmaterials #arteducation #colortheory #fineart

“The role of a teacher is to facilitate learning. That’s it.” In this clip from his TED Talk How to Escape Education’s Death Valley, Sir Ken Robinson explains how the dominant culture of education has drifted away from teaching and learning… and toward testing. Standardised tests have a place, just as medical tests do. But they’re meant to diagnose, not define. They should support learning, not obstruct it. Instead of cultivating curiosity, imagination, and real understanding, we’ve created a culture of compliance - where children (and teachers) are expected to follow routines instead of explore possibilities. Sir Ken reminds us of something essential: Human life is inherently creative. Education’s role is to awaken that creativity, not standardise it. And it doesn’t have to be the way it is. Change starts when people begin imagining alternatives. 👇 Inspired by the life and work of Sir Ken Robinson? Want to be part of a movement continuing his work?
