WARNING! Avoid Vincent Arnold Metallics!

This just in - A reliable source writes that artists should beware of using Vincent Arnold metallic paints. My friend writes, "After two weeks, the paint started to fade and a week later it chipped and cracked. We tested every color because we had purchased the 24 color kit."

So there you have it, children. No Vincent Arnold Metallics. There are plenty of other paints out there that will hold up better. I know of a few brands, but if you want to send me your suggestions from your personal experience, I will post the results here.

Very truly yours,
Rubyfruit.

20 Ways to Boost Your Art Career

This is a recommendation by my friend, Samantha, who used this stuff to build up her art career from scratch. Sometimes, there is no better advice than that you can get from someone who has traveled those rocky roads to becoming an artist. So I ran across these highly detailed reports written by an internationally known artist by the name of Carolyn Quan. She has written these reports that are very inexpensive, most under $5 bucks. They consist of lessons and tutorials for aspiring fine artists. Quan is uber successful. Her work is collected all over the world and she has like twenty years experience or something, so she knows what she is talking about. She has set up successful art businesses in Toronto, New York City, Maui And Honolulu, Hawaii and now shares her knowledge for very little money, to anyone who wants to learn how to do it.

Yeah, and once you look at her stuff, go back to the post before this one and find out what Ms. Suzi Blu can do for you. She takes a fresh approach to art and makes it accessible to all. Then, when you finish there, go back through the archives because I'm always finding good stuff to help artists. I have listed a lot of it with more to come!

This woman is a doll AND she teaches you how to MAKE dolls, well, mixed media dolls and beautiful paintings and to feel good and worthy and loved. AND she does a lot of stuff gratis, just because she is a woman FOR women. Yes, this pretty mama has the whole package.
