This Week: 8/5 through 8/11

Published on Aug. 5th 2012


There will be no new articles this week on EE, since I’ll be camping and traveling, and (mostly) off the grid. EmptyEasel’s regular schedule will resume next Sunday.

If you’re looking for an art-related fix in the meantime, I’d recommend Graham Matthews’ Artpromotivate.com, Katherine Tyrrell’s Making A Mark, or Dan Johnson’s RightBrainRockstar.com. I’ve read Katherine’s blog for years, but the other two are fairly new to me, and look to be great resources as well.

Last week’s articles on EmptyEasel:

How to Create and Market Your Own Open Studio Art Event

James Kinnett: Realistic Waterfowl Paintings

Using Social Media to Build Trust with Art Buyers

Put Down That Brush!

Slight change of plans today, folks—originally I was going to publish a reader-submitted article entitled "What is Art?" but after more consideration I decided that it drew a little too heavily on quotes from Wikipedia and other online sources. I guess I just wanted more personal opinion and l. . . read more
I will get straight to the point. The biggest social networking mistake artists make is . . . not social networking! (Or not doing it enough.) I often hear artists say that social networking is too time consuming. And I will admit, I used to be that person. But you know what would really be ti. . . read more
Everyone wants something. To give you a non-art example, I have a friend who wants to open her own coffee shop. She's had that dream for a long time. But of course, there are a ton of little steps that she needs to accomplish before selling her first Caramel Macchiato . . . And dreaming about . . . read more
