Walter Foster Publishing has been a trusted name in art instruction for over 100 years. Renowned for making art accessible to all, Walter Foster offers step-by-step books that teach foundational to intermediate techniques in drawing, painting, and illustration. From traditional pencil sketching and acrylic, oil, and watercolor painting to hand lettering and coloring, our titles guide artists of every skill level—from from beginners to seasoned creatives—and also includes an offering of engaging, art-focused books for children that nurture creativity, confidence, and curiosity on their journey to developing their fine art skills. 

Our legacy is rooted in empowering creativity through clear instruction, time-tested methods, and expert teaching. Today, Walter Foster continues that mission with a modern approach, publishing top-selling art technique books as well as playful, creative titles through our humorous WTF sub imprint.
