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....
