I live in an art-supply desert. There are a couple of hobby and craft shops that sell some stuff but I know of nowhere locally that I can buy a nice, hard-bound, watercolour sketchbook. Fortunately they aren’t really all that hard to make, so I thought I would share this with you. These instructions [...] Anyone who has spent any time studying art has heard of the whole right brain vs. left brain debate. I read “Drawing on the right Side of the Brain” by Betty Edwards many years ago, but many of her strategies weren’t new to me even then. I remember a game we played in high school [...] I had ambitions at one time of posting here once a week. I have been posting to my Daily Painting blog pretty consistently every day for over a year, but I have had a lot more trouble finding something to say here. Perhaps if I could podcast while I am driving to work, that seems [...] There was a great piece in psychology today last month: A Missing Piece in the Economic Stimulus: Hobbling Arts Hobbles Innovation As the economy stumbles, the first things to get cut at the national, state, and local levels are the arts.

For anyone like me who has a fascination with funky architecture, especially if it is old and dilapidated, it is a must. Vlad Gerasimov lives in Irkutsk, in East Siberia, 60 km from lake Baikal, the deepest lake in the [...] This little watercolour was done about 7 years ago.
