My Artist's Information Website


I need to advertise my artist's information website: Art InfoSite. I think it will be very handy for working artists, if not now, then in the future. It is a growing collection of information pages of practical information that artists will find useful.

When I say information I mean how-to information on everything from how to build stretcher frames and stretch canvas, photograph artworks, ship art, etc. The knowledge base is growing and idea submissions and article submissions are definitely encouraged.

Many of us went to art school and learned a lot of this there. But I have found that often there are gaps in knowledge to be filled in. For instance, how many artists know that acrylic paint that has dried up in the brush can easily be removed with ordinary household ammonia which you can buy in the grocery store for cheap? I know this for a fact because I have brought many acrylic hardened brushes back from the dead, many times! Try it!

And while you are at it, please support this website. It's totally for you, the artist. It's my contribution to the art community.
