This artist has my favorite newsletter that comes two times per week. I consider him to be a national treasure of Canada’s art world. His newsletter is very informative and gives information on how to improve your art skills as well as selling pointers. He and a small staff will make sure you get his twice weekly note. He counts around 135,000 artists as subscribers, it is free!

If you like this artist I recommend viewing the art of Len Chmiel, who paints fantastic landscapes with an emphasis on fun colors and shapes.
A member of Board of Directors at Emily College of Art and Design.The artist has also written 3 books. One book listed in the gallery above titled “Painters Keys” costs only $7 on Amazon.com Well worth the price for all of his advice.

The artist is also in many private and public collections. I enjoy the artist”s subject matter, keen color sense, and most important his willingness to share his knowledge with other artists. The ideal icon for for an artist looking to grow their skill level and selling abilities.
Happy painting!
