Hi gang!
This week brings us a great new painting project, several new lessons,
and some wonderful new articles!
What a great response to my recent article on the online art market
(http://www.wetcanvas.com/Articles/Scott_Burkett/OnlineGalleries).
The response was so positive, that I've upped the timetable on
publishing the second installment, and should hopefully have it out
this week.
If you haven't seen the WetCanvas! Reference Image Library, it's a
great tool for fighting artist's block. With almost 2,000 royalty-free
images contributed by fellow artists, your sure to find something of
interest. There are also some neat tools to convert those images
into oil paintings and sketches, right before your eyes!

Last, but certainly not least, my quasi-weekly newsletter would not be
complete without mentioning our stalwart sponsors at Dick Blick Art
Materials. You can find them at www.dickblick.com, where they offer
a huge selection of art materials, a free 480-page catalog, tremendous
savings, and the service you have come to expect since 1911. They
also have over 30 brick and mortar stores location across the U.S., so
be sure to find your nearest one!
Now, on to the latest goodies that are waiting for you at
http://www.wetcanvas.com. Enjoy!
