Understanding painting's poetry



I receive this newsletter every month and find it very useful in understanding the harmony created in a painting from a technical point of view. This free newsletter includes tips on how to structure and compose your artwork in a way that is most pleasing to the senses as well as contain lessons in colour, texture and many of the other basic elements of fine art. Not a bad read.

There are also many forums available for those of you who would like to receive more constructive criticism on your artworks. These forums also offer viewpoints from artists all over the world (mostly America) about how to use certain mediums, problem solving, techniques, methods etc. Also a great place to ask some technical advice!

My favourite, although largely traditional/commercial:

(Remember, not all the artists on these forums are professional or successful artists and views differ - ask us if you are not sure)
