Plein Air Painting: Tips, Tools and Tricks
Our ambition to paint may be fueled by many different things. This includes classes, friends, magazines, YouTube videos, or even a natural joy at just putting brush-to-paint-to-canvas, paper and other materials.

The Enormous Pleasure of Small Art
Small and miniature art items have been capturing people’s hearts and imaginations for centuries. A visit to the public library or a little online browsing can lead you to the beautiful miniature paintings of ancient India, Persia, and Arabia.
