This Week: 6/17 through 6/23

Published Jun. 16th 2007

Monday - Tomorrow I’ll publish a companion article to last week’s How to Handle a Critique. This Monday it’s all about how to give a good one.

Tuesday - EE’s historical artist this week is Pablo Picasso, and I already know I won’t have the space to adequately cover his life and works. I’ll just have to give it my whirlwind best.

Wednesday - More submitted artwork is on its way this Wednesday! My apologies again to those of you I haven’t gotten back to yet; I do read every email and respond when I can. If you haven’t sent in your art yet, check out the guidelines.

Thursday - Normally I don’t display my own work on EE, but recently I’ve had several readers ask about my paintings so I thought I’d show a few from my latest series to answer everyone all together. And, since I bit the bullet and paid to have prints made of one of my paintings, I’ll let you know where I went and how they turned out.

Friday - The last article in my color series is here and, whether you consider it to truly be a color or not, white is certainly worth talking about. Check back in on Friday to read all about it.

Saturday - A doodle, a cartoon, an inkblot. . . something fun will appear this weekend. But let’s just make it through the workweek first, all right? : )

Texture. It's the x-factor in painting. . . it can mean the difference between a mediocre painting and a good one, or a good painting and fantastic one. This week's featured artist, Trisha Lamoreaux, has found a way to use the textural, 3-dimensional quality of oil paint to her advantage. Usin. . . read more
