Commit to Imperfection

I’ve gotten into the habit, when starting off a new workshop, of letting the participants know that I’m planning to be imperfect.

Featured Artist Pablo Montes

During my development as an artist, I have been able to explore different topics and techniques that have been of great value to my recent works. There are issues that I return to on impulse or interest in order to seek new avenues.

I love the intensity of colour you get with pastels and my work is generally either black and white or full on colour.

Her goals are creating relationships with interior designers and their clients to create custom textile art commissions.

The series I am working on now is called “Distill/Disintegrate”. This series exists along the spectrum of Disintegration.

I use figures as my main objects, but I put them in an abstract surrounding, dynamic textures, and pulsating colors.

Featured Artist Sarah Hudock

I paint primarily in watercolor and gouache, occasionally including colored pencil or ink, and I love to focus on detail.

What’s the Back Story on Your Art?

Consistent use of unexpected touches can be an expression of your brand as an artist, even when used on the back or the inside.

Featured Artist Patton Hunter

I wish every painting exposed to the public could come alive and report back to me, telling me how it has grown and what it has become after so many different eyes have added meaning.

Featured Artist Kevan Lunney

The circle in my work is an Enso seen in Zen Buddhist painting.

The Power of the Photograph

One of the important parts of your home photo studio should be a good, sturdy tripod to mount the camera on.

The Importance of the Picture

Properly photographing your items is not a daunting task, though it does take an investment in time, and a little money.
