From the Editor:
Another busy week has passed us by at the Canvas. In addition to
the many new tutorials, art lessons, and other sundries that we've
added this week (full list below), there are a number of other new
features
worth mentioning.
First, we have a slightly new look on the front page - I hope you enjoy
it.
Secondly, we are now sponsoring our own web award. You can now nominate
sites
to receive the WetCanvas Cadmium Red Hot Site award! Check the site
for more info on our selection criteria.
Next week, I'll be in NYC, speaking with some of tine local denizens
about the New York art scene (and hopefully, enjoying a bit of
sightseeing
in America's "concrete jungle"). Look for my full report next week.
Until next time, keep those submissions coming, keep your carpet covered
with a .79 cent drop cloth, and happy painting!
Cheers!
Scott
