This Week: 10/24 through 10/30

Published Oct. 24th 2010


Monday in Video Tutorials - Tomorrow I’ll be posting a quick little video clip on painting fur, by watercolor painter Susan Bourdet. And by the way, if you’re not a watercolor artist you can always just jump to the video archive on EE. There’s bound to be something there for you.

Tuesday in Art Products - Derwent Aquatone, Derwent Inktense, and Caran D’Ache Neocolor II are all water-based media similar to watercolor pencils or water-soluble crayons. On Tuesday Ronnie Tucker will share his opinions about each of them, after comparing all three.

Wednesday in Featured Artists - John O’Reilly creates beautifully subtle paintings of quiet streets, empty back lots, and other forgotten urban spaces. Check those out on Wednesday, and don’t forget to submit your own artwork to be featured, too.

Thursday in Art Marketing Tips - If you’ve got an art blog, you won’t want to miss Alyice Edrich’s tutorial this Thursday on how to schedule your posts ahead of time in Blogger. Personally, I can’t recommend this technique enough.

Friday in General Art Advice - Ever feel like you have too many creative thoughts bouncing around inside your head? If so, come back at the end of the week to see how one EmptyEasel reader organizes all of her different artistic ideas.
