May 1, in Art by Katana Barnett
Rachel Brice (reference: YouTube) with Photoshop
The way humans are built is neat.
This bellydancer is very well known, one of the ‘belly dance superstars.’ She was interesting to ‘paint’ because of her hands and the shadows that her hair makes, and because she’s a dancer, the gesture of her body is interesting, and if the shadows [...]

artswork is a job posting system that links Emily Carr students and alumni to employers. The jobs listed are specifically targeted towards the Emily Carr community – artists in Vancouver, students or otherwise. It’s a great resource.

April 29, in Art by Katana Barnett
Tattoos are really, really hot.

Pricing Paintings and other Work
April 25, in Art by Katana Barnett
Art work should be priced so that you can make a living from it.
That’s it.
There’s a lot of writing out there about how to price your work, rules and expectations and standards. I am not interested in doing research to find out how every other mediocre artist is pricing their work right now, because I [...]
