Blogs

One of my favorite things about the contemporary movement in classical realism is that so many artists love to share their insights about art making. There are many resources available for aspiring artists, and the resources included here have given me inspiration or helped me find materials, methods, and reference that have been useful in my own studio and in my classes. N.B. Some of these are no longer being updated, but still provide valuable information.
