Fine Art Views Daily Newsletter

This morning, I wrote my weekly blog for the Fine Art Views e-newsletter. The latest blog: "Why I Love Twitter". If you don't yet subscribe to this free newsletter, try it out. It has daily advice about art marketing and living the professional artist's life from several authors.

American Artist Magazine's Online Forum

In August, American Artists' Online Forum is setting a space for me as one of their contributing blog authors. I'm honored to have such a position because all the other authors at this time are editors for American Artist. I will contribute one blog twice a month - about art marketing, time management for right-brainers and painting tips - things I've learned from my mentors.

Watercolor Magazine

For the next two years or so, the editor of Watercolor Magazine (also an American Artist publication) has asked that I continue writing my instructional column there. My plan is to offer step by step tutorials on topics such as landscape composition, how to paint landscape and still life objects - and how to handle flesh colors with watermedia on paper.

Using Twitter

Finally, if you haven't joined twitter yet, here is a link to a short tutorial for beginners. Whenever I write a new blog post, I announce it first on twitter - the fastest way to get information around the world via the Internet. I also "tweet" with links to other artist blogs that I find interesting. At this writing, I have 450 or so followers on Twitter. You can access my page at: http://twitter.com/Loriwords

Below is the Link to the Tutorial:
