Top Painting Organisers

Creative people are the best ones to have around! Many of my students at Hidden Talent Fine Art School have come up with ingenious ways to carry around their art supplies.



Jeannette Sommers is just recovering from knee surgery and needed something sturdy and big enough to carry paints and canvases but wasn't to heavy- and she found it at Canadian Tire. I think it might be the best way to travel with your art supplies...perfect for workshops and plein air situations.
Shawn Acorn found a tackle box with fold out trays that fit all the tubes of his favorite paint and kept his brushes in great shape....again a Canadian Tire find.

Do you have a great artist Organiser? Blog me!

Will Wilson and showing your art in our gallery!!

This week we had our educational talk at coffee break about the wonderful artist Will Wilson , The Artists magazine article was just the start. Be sure to take a look at his website-INCREDIBLE!!! He is the master of trompe l'oeil as well. The very best thing was to find out he isn't as young as I thought- he was born in 1957.
His dedication and mastery of painting are so evident, and to discover all the academic and intellectual thought behind his art is so awe inspiring..... Do I sound like a raving fan???Yep, and proud of it!
This week's drawing lessons were fantastic...the students were energetic and hard working and I know we will make alot of progress in a short time!
Would you like to show in the gallery?
Many students are wondering how some of the other student paintings turned out...they missed seeing them when they were done. How about having Mon. /Thurs and Sat Painter hang their works up for all to see??? We can have them up for two weeks, then the Tues painters can show for another two weeks. No, they do not have to be for sale.
I would love to feature you and your art!!
Would you like to be student of the month......any volunteers? This would mean answering a few easy questions and getting a photo of your art to me to put on my blog. We have such great talent in our school, we should let more people know!!
I'm looking forward to a great week!
