Two Business of Art Inspirations

2010, Uncategorized / /

Today I came across two inspiring videos about art, marketing and making money.  The first was  “How to Make $1000. in Art Sales per Month”  by the Cory Huff of the AbundantArtist.com It is an interview with painter Michael Whitlark  And the second was about using the right side of the brain to do your marketing plan, Jennifer Lee shares great tools and info for Artists and Marketing goals and plans.  It was cool how she took the same info and presented it in a graphic way which made it accessible.  Happy Art making or marketing!

New Series of Mixed Media Prints

2010, mixed media printmaking / /

I am playing with this as a title for my current series of mixed media prints. I want to combine techniques without restriction.  Sometimes I limit myself to just printmaking, or just gelatin prints and I really don’t want to put those limits on this series.  I am thinking about layers of ink, paint, text and collage that can reveal what is going on in the mind.  I was affirming to look through some old prints and find that some of my work does that already.  Happy Printing!

I am happy to share that I have a workshop coming up –

Play w/Printmaking – Gelatin Prints

Gelatin Printmaking is low tech, fun and fast. This class is for everyone.   It is a wonderfully experimental process that gives results that vary from the abstract to the photographic. We will use found objects as“stamps” and “stencils” to work into the ink and create a series of images.

Drawing for Inspiration

charcoal on paper

I don’t love drawing, and I often search for something to draw.  I do love loose expressive line and charcoal.  I wish that I had a habit of drawing in my practice.  It feels like a chore.  But I usually do get a payoff when I do draw.  When I come back to the sketch a day or two later, I am often pleasantly pleased.  I am inspired by those who commit to their drawing practice.  Do you have a regular drawing practice?  Do you enjoy it?  What do you draw?  Inspire me Please.
