I often run into videos that I find very helpful. This one is a short, but sweet review of some of the mediums out there for use in oil painting. I love the simple approach, the explanation of which medium to use when and their drawbacks.

How Blogging Can Be Valuable To An Artist
(Brian Kliewer "Island Spirits)
Marketing Art On The Internet, Part 3
by Brian KliewerOn the strength of that post alone, I was able to connect with someone who actually had lived or spent time on the island many years before.

Marketing Art On The Internet, Part 2
by Brian KliewerIn a "perfect" online marketing world, I wouldn't have to throw myself or my work at a seemingly endless list of other sites...or even one other site, for that matter. But many artists are doing that in the name of "exposure," to get their work "seen." In a truly perfect online marketing world, collectors would come to my site and find my work on their own without any prompting from me. But without using any of the above listed options, what chance do I have of drawing that audience? Can I really do it all here on my site alone? [...]

Golden Paints Glass Bead Gel Medium
I love using Golden Paints Glass Bead Gel Medium. It gives it such a unique look when you are done-I used it on these two pieces:
There is a free Golden demo coming up (and often, free samples are given at these demos) at the Village Press in Magdelena. Plan for a day trip there or spend the night so that you attend Nancy Reyner's workshop that weekend (be sure to sign up as space is limited). Nancy's workshops are a great way to get familiar with using Golden's products. It was, to date, one of the best workshops I've ever taken!
