I got two new ARTISTS books! Strokes of Genius and Wonderful Landscape s! DRAWING AND PAINTING!

So I was at the books store and got two wonderful new artist books, I've decided to post a little bit of a review of the books in-case anyone else might be interested in buying one or both of them! I got both! I was looking for some inspirational books and wanted something newer and I got these both at a lower cost than their original prices!
The first one is "Fast & Fun Landscape paining by Donna Dewberry"


This books looks great and I took a few glances in it and I just love it! It's FILLED with Landscape paintings as well as some WIP(work in progress) explanations for artist wanting to try it themselves. She makes it looks so easy I think I maybe try a few small paintings and hang them on my walls because honestly my walls could use some pictures to fill up some empty spaces.

The next book I got is "Strokes of Genius the best of drawing Edited By Rachel Rubin Wolf"


This book is FILLED with drawings done by many different artist with a wide verity of drawing mediums and techniques. This is a big books so all the images within are very easy to make out. If an artist was wanting to try to do a copy version for personal skill enhancing the visual is big and clear enough to see every stroke! I can definitely see why it says strokes of genius! These many different artists have been drawn from hundreds of submissions all over the world!

I can't wait to get started on both of them! Seriously looking forward to it, but I am so excited, I am unsure which one I will start with. I was so excited about getting them, I had to share thew NEWS! :)

Information about my site

Since this is my first real blog posting with more information about my site. I am just going to tell you the story of how everything came about, in a nutshell!

My website; showcasing my art, has come a very long way! The website itself started as just me playing around with html and creating a website for something to do. I didn't have any topics or any general idea of what the website would be about. But now that I have put more focus on my creativity, it has become so much more than just a regular website!

Over the years I have entered free HTML courses online; to learn more about website creation, for personal knowledge, of course! I had also join groups online for graphics programs, I gained knowledge and bettered my creativity in the process. These all being FREELY learned online, as a personal hobby. With these courses I took, I gained certification of completion! Even though those certifications were small, they gave me a sense of pleasure, knowing I had finished something I wanted for myself. Just simple things like that can give someone confidence to want to do more and better things for themselves!

I am going through my pages on my website and than when I am finally done that I will post what is new, my next blog posting with be a bit of an introduction.

Happy Easter!

About this Blog

Hello!
And this is my blog for my art website! This is the place you would want to be if you wanted to know if anything new has been added, and to where. Without this blog you would have to go to the website and go through all the many different pages to find anything new and try to guess what or where it might be!

This is also a great place to leave comments and or feedback about what you think, what you might like to see, or maybe even some opinion of changes you wouldn't mind seeing! You can make requests, set a challenge for me( if I am up to the challenge) or anything else you might have in mind for my art pages!

Please have a look around while I am still working and will add some new added updates here later one!

Thanks for taking the time to view!
