I cannot call it a valid question, because it is based on
false statement. What "material" do you think is missing? Do you need event more? You statement looks good only for excuses for not doing any work, quite frankly.
If we go from your choice of not looking into DirectX or OpenGL, it comes to GDI+ and everything based on it. Please see:

This is already quite enough to get started.
You can also see some CodeProject articles:
Starting with GDI+[

Drawing Speed in GDI+[

Beginners - Starting a 2D Game with GDI+[

However, I don't think I can cover the topic by selecting CodeProject articles on the topic. There are too many of them, covering many very different aspects of programming:
