In order to keep doing this, painting daily, I have to spend some time buying supplies as well as keeping abreast of what other artists are doing. One way I do this is to go annually to Raleigh, NC to Art in the Carolina, a huge art supply trade show and workshop event sponsored by Jerry’s Artarama, my favorite artist supply store and catalog. I love going. It’s great fun to watch the demonstrations, check out the new products, and pick up supplies at great prices.
A big plus is that my artist friends from Kentucky come and I get to spend time with them including my former teacher and artist mentor, Barbara Gardner. It is always good to catch up with friends. I’ll let you know what all I learn as soon as I return. 🙂
