From the Editor:
I must say that I am pleased at the outpouring of support we've received
for WetCanvas from artists and vendors alike. The site is quickly
becoming THE place to learn art techniques online, and more importantly,
a place for artists to share their knowledge with others.
This has been a busy week for us - take a look, and enjoy! :-)
Cheers!
Scott
