This Week: 3/8 through 3/14

Published on Mar. 8th 2009


Monday in Motivation - Do you adapt well to new technology, or are you the type of individual who generally prefers the tried & true? If you’re one of the latter, I hope you’ll drop in tomorrow to learn about some of the “newer” tools I’ve started using online. . . and how each one of them can be helpful to artists.

Tuesday in Painting Tutorials - Dianne Mize has another great tutorial lined up for Tuesday which explores “active” and “passive” styles of painting. As usual, she’s collected quite a few beautiful examples to learn from.

Wednesday in Featured Artists - Jane Hunt’s acrylic paintings have a distinct, signature style that I think you’ll all enjoy. Come back this Wednesday for the full details, and feel free to submit your own artwork to be reviewed as well.

Thursday in Selling Art Online - CallForCreativity.com is a new website for artists to “promote their work, communicate, and collaborate with other creative people.” Get the full review by Zach Risso on Thursday.

Friday in Art Marketing Tips - This week’s reader-submitted article is from Greg Katz, a fiber artist, who shares three important ingredients for marketing art: confidence, conversation and community. Don’t miss it!
