Interview with Professional Artist Andy Russell – Artwork & Matisse Acrylics
Professional Artist Andy Russell shares his techniques and process on how he captures and creates vibrant, colorful & amazingly detailed artwork When I do layering I use either a glazing wash of watered down color or a scumbling technique of rubbing one color over another.

What Works for You? by Deb Bartos
I’m now doing a seasonal blog for Jerry’s (four times a year) as this works for me. Winter is the perfect time for soul-searching, organizing, and removing the clutter to make room for the new life that appears in spring. I’ve always liked to look at life in seasons, and love them all. They all…..

Is art fun? Today I was asked this question at my job during a meeting for a new fledgling project. A question that I would think would have a definite YES – seemed much more difficult to answer. I spend hours and hours each week in front of my easel, at my day job I…..

Defining Urban Derivatives by TMNK

Paintings Paint Themselves by Valerie (Valry) Drake

The Advantages of Painting a Series by Deb Bartos

Left in the Dark by Wilson Bickford
I recently conducted an oil painting class which focused on a night-time seascape theme. Rendering night scenes is always challenging, as colors diminish and things take on a more monochromatic feel. The issue is to get the scene dark enough to convey that particular time of the day, but not so dark that it…..
