The Artist's Palette

My regular 3 minute read will give you hints, tips, knowledge and ideas on aspects of art - purchasing, painting, commissioning, painting holidays, gifts of art. etc. I'd enjoy hearing from you and reading your feedback. I'll be glad to help you with any information you may require.

Warm regards, Anne.

Expanding your creativity

Being an Artist means that you have to dig in deep sometimes to release that much needed charge of creativity.

Painting or drawing that same old thing time after time may give you a "name" but it will stifle your real artistic talent.

It is true that most artist draw or paint certain subjects far better than others, but that does not excuse trying!

At a recent, and very successful Open Day for Artists, the portfolios and sketch books of the majority of my guests showed a strong penchant for the obvious. Page after page revealed almost identical works with a rather predictable diminuation in the standard of the work.....

Where some people, though, had explored other artistic challenges, a lot of the work was really good.

During the day, this aspect of artistic exploration was given out as a challenge to the guests and they and I were quite pleased with the results.

I shall be repeating this event soon so please keep an eye out for the announcement of my next Open Art Day.
