Carol Marine's Painting a Day - Big News - ArtBytes!

  

CAROL MARINE'S PAINTING A DAY
Big Announcement - ArtBytes!!!
Daily Paintworks ArtBytes! If you caught the radio show this morning you now know the big news - ArtBytes on Daily Paintworks! We've been working on the idea for months and I've been absolutely dying to post about it.

ArtBytes are basically byte-size, online art tutorials. I've created 6 so far (from the content for my instrctional book) and will continue to add more (posting about them here each time I do). Eventually we'll have lots of ArtBytes by other artist/teachers, but first we want to work out all the kinks. By the way, if you notice any of these kinks, please let us know.

Each ArtByte contains text, images, links and (often) video. They are full of great information, but not so long you'll get bored. Once you buy an ArtByte it is yours forever. Take a look in the ArtByte store to see what's available now. Please let me know what you think!

Many of you have tried to guess the big surprise tomorrow. It's been very interesting to read the guesses. : ) But I am not giving anything away. You'll just have to wait. Sorry about that. Meanwhile I've been trying my hand at asparagus after a long break. What do you call more than one of these green things? Asparaguses just sounds plain wrong.

This Wednesday at 11am CST my husband and I will be interviewed on Artists Helping Artists, again. : ) This time we have a big announcement - one I think some of ya'll will be particularly interested in. I'll announce it here as well, after the show, but if you want to hear it sooner be sure to listen in. We've been working on it for months and I've been itching to scream it from the rooftops!

I felt it was appropriate, in my second cheese stack painting, for there to be a pig involved. And while he fell in love with the grape I fell in love with the reflection of the cheese back on him.

Cheese and Grapes
 
I get my best ideas right before I fall asleep and right after I wake up. I don't know why. I had this idea recently, in bed, to paint little stacks of different kinds of cheese, paired with fruit. Why on earth was I thinking about this in bed?! At any rate, I was very excited to try it. And it turns out cheese has some lovely translucent qualities that are very interesting to paint. The only problem is after it sits out for a while it starts to ... "sweat" a bit.

This is my entry in this week's Daily Paintworks Challenge - the Raw Meat Challenge. Pretty silly, I know, but I've been wanting to paint a chicken like this for a while. It was really fun.

And speaking of Daily Paintworks, check out my interview on the DPW blog!

This is the kind of thing I get a real kick out of painting. Lots of color - apples - a funny kind of ... spork. It really floats my boat.

In other news, I have just discovered the joys of Pinterest! It's like an online bulletin board. I was busy last night and this morning pinning all kinds of art that I love. Check them out. Once you get going it's pretty addictive.
