System 3 is a well-established brand of inks, acrylics and heavy body paints manufactured by Daler-Rowney; it is readily available worldwide, including the US and UK, and is economically priced, making it affordable by students as well as amateur artists.
Painting with System 3 aims to inspire, instruct and encourage an experimental approach to painting with this versatile range of media, taking it out of the classroom and into the field. Daler-Rowney ambassador Charles Evans teaches the reader about the variety of products in the range and explores creative and innovative ways of using and combining the inks and paints on different supports, including watercolour paper, canvas and wood.
The book takes a highly practical approach to introducing the potential of the System 3 range, with exercises and 13 step-by-step projects to help the reader carry forward the skills they have acquired. Charles also features his own artwork using the media, as further inspiration on what can be achieved with System 3.
