Improve Your Art Before You Start :: ArtCast #55

By Chris Oatley

Detail from Norman Rockwell’s “The Soda Jerk” side-by-side comparison with Rockwell’s photo reference.

In this episode, I share THREE practices that all artists can apply to their own process that will instantly improve the quality of their finished works of art.

Also, I talk about my NEW podcast and web-community: Paper Wings.

AND… I explain how YOU could WIN a WACOM Intuos 4 Tablet by entering the FIRST Paper Wings Challenge!
