Workshops: New News!

Posted on 5:12 PM in by EraserQueen

Hi all!

You have probably heard by now that ArtTrader Magazine is not offering workshops anymore.  Sal (Our ArtTrader Guru) is retiring from creating workshop material, but I will still be offering new workshops!

I am planning on offering NEW Workshop Workbook & Video content though a new store, and will even have some Original Art for sale online.  I'll also have my previous workshop material videos and .PDF books available on CD (they make great gifts!) 

Below is the sign up for my mailing list.  The mailing list is fantastic because it's a way to WIN original art or art supplies JUST by signing up!  I'll have a surprise drawing twice a year.  Your email address will never be shared and only announcements for new Workshops, art, and Blog Giveaways will be sent to you.

So what are you waiting for?  Sign up now!
Just Click Here to be added!

EDIT: Form has been fixed!

I am thrilled to have made so many friends through the ArtTrader Workshops, and I look forward to continuing our artistic journey together through new workshops!

Under the Sea: Mixed Media Fish!

Posted on 5:39 PM in by EraserQueen

 

I have been having a BLAST making fish!  Grrrdjules from AFA is hosting a Mixed media fish swap and with her permission (and lovely template!) I am hosting the swap over at illustrated ATCs.com

Basiacally I've taken scrapbook paper and altered with with acrylic paint, stamps, and stencils, and added drawn eyeballs and  collage images.  "Joanie"is clipart that I combined three separate images in photoshop to create, and then I altered it (for her blue jersey) and the fish in the "stomachs" of the other fish are also some vintage clipart.   

Hopefully next weekend I can get a video made to show the process!

2012 = Art Resolutions!

Posted on 7:40 AM in by EraserQueen


 

Happy 2012! 

Hope everyone has a blessed and prosperous New Year!  My personal goals for 2012 are to exercise every day, instead of several times a week to develop healthy habits, and my art goals are to acquire new crafting skills as well as develop the illustration skills I already posses!

It's not always easy to develop habits though.  the key is persistence and record keeping!  I've developed some charts in word to help keep track of exercise progress, but how does one track artistic progress?  How do you know you're getting better?  When I was very young I thought "getting better" meant that making art would be "easier."  in many ways it is, but I sometimes still need "do overs" to achieve the effect I want in my art.

That's why it's good to have art buddies :D  My buds over at IllustratedATCs.com have always provided me with constructive critisisim and a pat on the back.  Thanks to all who help me as I develop further as an artist for 2012. Likewise, I am here if you need help or want a portfolio review!

HAPPY New Year Everyone!
