What is Artibles?

This is where I share what I’ve learned as an artist for the past 60 years, and invite you to join in. I am intentionally writing short articles, because we really need to get back into the studio and get to work, right?

We always need good safe places for artists to learn, be inspired, be encouraged, and discover new things. So this is that place - for complete beginners, intermediate artists, and all the professionals who understand that learning never ends.

Get a boost.

Some of the Artibles are fun, some are informative, but all are designed to help you be a happier artist.

The world needs happy artists.

Enter the classroom.

Be part of a community of people who care about art and learning more about it.

Support Artibles!

and you’ll smile more - really!

I would love for you to sign up as a paid subscriber - for many reasons. It will help support this work, obviously, but more than just a warm fuzzy feeling, you’ll get stuff. I really do think you’ll be happy with the stuff, because I’ve worked on it for 20 years, and some of it is really amazing. None is available anywhere else except my classes. Don’t take my word for it though; over 3500 students have gone through my art school in the last 2 decades - as full school-year enrollments. Most have taken years of lessons, some for the whole time we’ve been teaching! I’ll be sharing our PDF instruction sheets, color journals, and much more. There will also be exclusive articles and discussions only available to the supporters.

If you like all the idea of Artibles, please share with others. Thank you!
