re: How to Triumph In Spite of the Odds

This article has made me thankful about my education decisions as an artist. I am 45 and have recently been accepted to the Savannah College of Art and Design in Atlanta Georgia, but to my dismay financially I cannot attend. I have been an artist since I was a child and even have my own design business creating art on walls furniture, cabinetry and accessories. Finding this website and the articles that are available have turned my life around and given me more ideas for creativity not just in my art but also in growing my business! Thank you I am a member for life! Go to www.btaylored.com!

re: American Artist’s First Annual Weekend With the Masters Workshop & Conference: A Historic Event!

"...Schmid then led a lively discussion on the topic of whether we are truly experiencing a renaissance in representational art and where the masters of today see their place in the art-historical timeline..."

It would be very interesting if there was a summary of this discussion posted on Artist Daily, as I'm sure there would be great general interest about their observations and conclusions on this issue.

Hi Lori,

The Weekend With the Masters website is back up. Sorry about that!

The link to Weekend with Masters Website just gives a message that this event is not open for registration yet. Did you intend for us to see something more?

Brian, this is a really nice article. I am a little curious about the picture. I know that there were female master painters that attended that weekend and I know that they taught some of the classes. I am a little curious about the demographics of this photo.

re: Andrea J. Smith: Expand From a Limited Palette and Focus

Andrea's works are a vivid proof of limited palette power. How much expression can be created with so few colors! Or, maybe, because of?

Thank you, Andrea!

The most amazing in Masi's paintings is his ability to create the atmosphere. His NY bridges are hymn to human creativity and, at the same time, to man's separation from his creation. Great Vision!!

re: 10 Steps to Determine Values in Watercolor

This is a great article with loads of useful tips for any painter.

I too have not used this method, but I am going to try it in order to make and improvement in my paintings.

I particularly like the tip about it being more importan to paint the value that you are seeing instead of the color. This make perfect sense to me.

David-- This is a great article!! I was browsing the articles on this web site and decided to read this eventhough I've been painting for many years and thought it might be just "intresting". Well, I have never actually done what you're talking about, actually going through that process of painting a value study before the painting. Now I'm going to do it and see if it's helpful to an experienced painter. I'm sure I'll learn more than a thing or two.

Let me add that I wish this article had included one painting with the contour initial drawing, with the black & white value study and the fnished painting so the viewer could see how simple (not detailed) your initial drawing was. Maybe next time.

Drawing: How One Artist Sells His Work During This Recession

The Drawing Blog — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 19:01:12 GMT

The doom-and-gloom talk prompted by the recession has squashed sales in galleries. So why was the recent opening of a young realist's show such a success?

Drawing: Drawing People Using Perspective Lines

While thumbing through Burne Hogarth's Dynamic Anatomy the other day, I came across an interesting section on foreshortening that I wanted to share ...
