Virtual Studio Tour
by Dorothy on May.11, 2009, under Artists Marketing
The thing which works so wonderfully well about a studio tour is that it expands the relationship
between you and your audience ~ and that RELATIONSHIP is what being in business is all about!
What doesn’t work about other artist websites is that this essential is MISSING!
I am designing Artists’ Websites and a Virtual Studio Tour
TO PARTICIPATE, you can attend a hands-on workshop or work with me individually.
The Next Workshop is:
Thursday, May 21, 9:30 - 4:30 Fagan Studio, Mathews
$75

What is a Paint Out?

A New Breed of Art Event
Watch artists paint … See different artists each interpret the landscape in their own way . . . Perhaps even pick up the brush yourself and let the creativity of the day flow through your hand too!
Plein Air painting events called Paint Outs are happening all over the country. En plein air is a French term which literally translated means ‘in plain air.’
In the 1880s artists’ paint makers began putting paint in tubes. No longer restricted to their studios mixing paint, some artists took their paint and brushes and headed out into the French country sides.
You recognize these painters by the light and color of their canvases; Monet, Pisarro, Renoir, VanGogh, Cezanne and others. The raw creative energy on their canvases caused quite a stir. And when you attend a Paint Out you will see why.
