How to Surf the Web vr. 2: Techniques & Critiques

Welcome back, I always enjoy your presence here. There's lots of stuff on the internet, so I'm pleased to see you back! I appreciate you :D

Taking a stroll through my Google Reader. Have you subscribed to Katanaville via RSS?

From I’m Painting As Fast as I Can Chris Beck tests what tape is awesome when used to mask a painting and then reviews five flavours of Daniel Smith watercolors.

Sandy Maudlin’s Art Journey takes on the challenge of a twenty minute painting, and the results range from Zen-like lovely to nothing special. Perfect results for an exercise in unfettered creativity.

Empty Easel has Dan posting a video tutorial on “How to See and Draw the Basic Shapes within Objects” – great for beginners, but if you know how to draw, don’t let yourself miss out by thinking, “I already know how to do that.” (I would have if I wasn’t writing this post and I learned something!)

Becci from Liberation BC’s Blog has posted some link love! Check it out

Making A Mark’s Katherine Tyrrell has an extensive resource for you to learn how to critique art. I would love everyone to know- as an artist, a good critique is valued more than naive comments, wouldn’t you agree?

Hope you find your way back here afterwards! :D
