Coloured Pencil Art

For all those budding "Coloured Pencil Artist" out there that think that their art work may not be as legitimate as that of a Watercolourist or an Oilist, here is yet another world to take a look at.

It's My Birthday

Happy Birthday to Me......

I decided today that I would devote my day to painting.  I am in the process of finishing off a couple of works.  I might even be brave enough to put one up on here, maybe!!!!

My son cooked me a yummy breakfast and brought me in a tray.  He also penned a beautiful card.  No price can buy that, or at least that is the way I look at it.  I am a happy girl.  Hope your day was good when ever you read this page.

Reproducing Others Art Works

I found this article on an art site and thought it was a great tip to share with others:

"Be very careful whenever you use another artist’s work – ANYWHERE. In both of the instances I mentioned above, I was devastated to learn that I had not properly credited the photographers.

I’m trying to make it up to them through this blog post and in other ways, but it would have been better to credit them in the first place.

When you feature other artists’ work on Facebook, on your blog, or in your newsletter, use the entire credit line:

©date Name of Artist, Title of Work, medium, size (h x w x d).

In addition, link to their sites as a matter of courtesy.

And don’t forget to credit your photographers!

Claim Credit

In order to receive credit for your art, you must add credit lines wherever it is shown – online or in person. This means including your name and ©date with every image on your website, blog, Facebook, Flickr, . . . You get the point.

You wouldn’t install your art without a label next to it, so why would you do this online?

Pat D’Aversa does this well on her page on Facebook.

It’s also important to add the medium and, if not a digital photograph, size. See how Leslie Parke does this on her site.




So take care until next time....

Watercolour Pencils and how to use them

This week's quick video Art Lesson:

PCYC at Morisset is the newest place for TEEN Art

This is a great initiative that should be supported.

The organizers want to in particular, encourage girls

to try sports, and at the same time encourage our teenage boys to try their hand at Art.....

Let your kids know and tell them to tell their mates to

give it a try and if nothing else it will give them a Friday night out once a month and perhaps they will make some new friends

What's Happening at Yara Balba Art Workshops

Here is the information I promised you about the upcoming workshop at Yarra Balba, Mandalong for your information.  Below is a copy of the email that Margarete Erling forwarded to us with the program attached.




Hello artists!

As promised, here is Term Four's Program at Yara Balba Art Studio until the end of the year. This term includes some extension activities such as clay modelling and plaster casting (to make small sculptures), candle- making, mosaic making and for the first time, wearable art. As these activities have a higher consumables cost, there is an additional small fee to cover the costs of materials you use for each of these workshops.

Full Term Bookings receive a discount, with the first three weeks free from consumables costs. Casual bookings are $25 /session plus materials fee (as shown on the attached program).

This should be an exciting program, full of new adventures and discoveries!

People are beginning to book in, so be sure to register your attendance to avoid disappointment. As always, numbers are limited.

Remember too, that all the art materials you could dream of, are available to order for purchase from Lakes Online Art Supplies- with Robyn Croft.  www.LakesArt.com.au

I hope to see you again soon, at Yara Balba Art Studio!

Hi this is a great concept I came across this morning "spiritual art".  I love the abstract qualities of this artist.

I would not like to think how long this took to draw!

Where the Website is at?

I am setting up a very user friendly website www.lakesart.com.au  and it is taking a lot longer than I thought to get all the product up. So, should you require any supplies please; drop me an email lakesonlineartsupply@gmail.com or call me direct on my mobile 0425838275 and I will be able to help you immediately.

Anyway, in the meantime just keep looking at the site, it will grow I can assure you.

The Journey of a thousand step, start with the first....

Hi and welcome to LakesArt blog.  I hope this will be a forum for all those students, beginners and lovers of art to put pen to paper (so to speak) and have a word or two about what they are up to and what they need from an art supply business.   I am a new player in this market, but one with great enthusiasm. I want to help others get the most out of their Art journey.  So please feel free to sign up and hopefully we can become a kind of Art family right here on my site.

Look out for:

• Term Four of the Art Workshop at Yara Balba Art Studio, at Mandalong (this will be my next blog)
• Drawing Tutorials
• "The Art Experiment"
• Show us your Art

I have over the last few month found some really unique Webb sites and videos that I will share with you, please feel free to share some with me and the others that will read this blog.
