Latest QuikTip News Pierre's Hot Picks! 200 Great Painting Ideas for Artists [ Purchase your copy: $20.29 ]

Hi there, folks! My name is Pierre Labeau, one of the resident troublemakers here at WetCanvas! Roger and Scott have asked me to pass along a few tips about art. With all the other work I have to do around here I really don't have a lot of time so they said that I could do some "quick tips" from time to time. Some of these little gems come from my collection of out-of-print art books, while others I've whipped up in my copious spare time. Either way, I hope these little snippets will help you along in your quest to perfection! Drop me an email - I'd love to hear from you if you have suggestions, requests, or would like to contribute!
