This Week: 8/12 through 8/18

Published Aug. 12th 2007

Monday - Recently EmptyEasel was mentioned on another art blog, along with some good reasons why artists should have their own, personal website rather than just a membership at a big art site. Tomorrow I’ll link to that article and add my two-cents.

Tuesday - On Tuesday I’ll be looking into the Abstract Expressionist movement—the concept behind it, its leading artists, and more.

Wednesday - Ready for something new? Then check back in on Wednesday for the first reader-submitted article. And feel free to submit your own article as well.

Thursday - Last week an EmptyEasel reader mentioned Artspan as a viable option for artists wanting to sell their work online. I’ll be taking a look at the site and letting you know my thoughts this Thursday.

Friday - If you’d like to start oil painting, but haven’t really known what to buy or where to start, check back Friday for a complete list of painting supplies (and other helpful items) that every beginning oil painter should have.

And if you’re thinking about selling your art online, head on over to this new comparison chart I added to the EE Art Market. It lists 10 art selling websites side-by-side so artists can easily compare features and prices.

Watch for more additions to the Art Market this week as well!

Truth be told, for me the answer usually depends on where the sales are. However, a few weeks ago I thought it would be interesting to find out whic. . . read more
I came across this topic a while back on William Lehman's blog, Artist Hideout. (William now writes for deCloned.com) He wrote that he was going to attempt a trial run and put a painting of his own on eBay, and I admit I'm curious as to his results. When I looked into eBay a few years ago as a. . . read more
