Finding Ideas
On the available paintings tab of this blog
Wanted to spend some time today sharing some helpful links. There are times I know I just need something to give me a kick in the rear to get going. Having some sites on the web to spark ideas is wonderful. I have some old favorites and a new site (at least for me) that are great to go to.
The idea for the painting on today's post came from a site I just discovered;
paintmyphoto.ning.com This is a site photographers and painters get together. Photographers offer photos for painters to paint, how cool is that! You can as a painter post your paintings there also, and there are a number of forums for tips and ideas. I have posted both paintings and some of my photos for other painters to use.
One of my old favorites, is a web site called Wet Canvas This site has activity for all media, and a great photo reference library.
Also, if you need an idea or challenge Daily Paint Works isn't just for selling and buying art, (although I highly recommend a little shopping there), it also has challenges, contests, and tutorials.
And one more site I just found for painters wanting to understand color; Hand Print
This has information on color pigments and more. I haven't finished looking around the whole site but use it mainly for pigment detailed information.
Hope these sites help you out, and let me know of any others that are good too.
