This Week: 12/27 through 1/2

Published Dec. 27th 2009


Monday in Art Marketing Tips - As strange as it may sound, there are many times where helping others will actually help you promote your own art. Kathleen Shetler has more on that topic, tomorrow.

Tuesday in Color Theory - Doris Glovier has another excellent tutorial coming up which will show some of the pros and cons of using various color triads in your paintings. I’ve been looking forward to this one quite a bit myself.

Wednesday in Featured Artists - Of all the objects an artist might want to depict, glass items are considered to be some of the trickiest—yet somehow Sally Tharp makes it look easy. See a few of her amazing paintings right here on Wednesday.

Thursday in Announcements - The New Year is nearly upon us, and I’ve got some exciting plans for EmptyEasel in 2010 that I’ll be sharing this Thursday. Don’t miss it!

Since Friday is New Year’s Day there will be no new article posted.

Sally Tharp, however, has mastered the skill more than most, and has chosen to make it the focus of much of her work. Sally graduated from the University of Rhode Island with a BFA, . . . read more
This week's featured artist is Sally Tharp, a self-taught painter from Ohio. If you visit her blog (which I hope you will) one of the first things you'll notice is that although many of her older paintings conform to the traditional size for daily paintings, lately she's taken a turn towards m. . . read more
I have to admit, I'm pretty disappointed. A few minutes ago I almost published a reader-submitted article about, ironically, global copyright infringement. (It focused on the assembly-line art factories in China which sell copied oil paintings for cheap here in the US.) Here's the irony of it:. . . read more
