Maybe be in a gallery too? Here is how you can get the information you need to really push your art career to the next level.
oil painting , even the term puts fear into some artists minds. Even for me. And what I’m about to do is giving me the eebbee jeebees all over again! If you’ve been a long time reader on my site, you’ll know that it went live in early 2008.
The main purpose as explained on my “about” page was to funnel web traffic to my online prints gallery in order to sell art online. I’ve learned a lot about the web and my art since then. One thing I found was I truly enjoyed sharing with other artists my techniques. As this site has grown, so has my portfolio of works completed.

Alla prima, an oil painting process that you can learn.
This oil painting process is one most of us have seen on TV and learned within most art schools today. The "alla prima" method, or "at first attempt", is a direct method of painting that is completed mostly in one sitting. In older days, quite a bit of planning went into it, but now a days, its more of a direct approach without oil painting involved.
This oil painting process can be used for the still life, the floral, the portrait and the landscape. One of the thing that I've found here on the web are a number of blogs and forums that promote challenges. In some of these challenges are a "painting a day", a painting in an hour, or a painting in twenty minutes (popularized by some of Bob Ross's teaching and other one stroke painting mentors) It's a great way to improve your technique and understanding of paint manipulation on the canvas, color mixing and draftsmanship.
The intense concentration required to skillfully pull a completed work off in one sitting just makes my head hurt, but there are those out there that THRIVE under the pressure and its a joy to watch them perform their craft.
The alla primer oil painting process takes spontaneity, and skill and great emotion. The great Impressionists of the late 1800's brought this technique of painting to the worlds attention. And it has never slowed down since!

Tea For Anemia
Certain types of tea have properties that contribute to the treatment of anemia.
Anemia is a condition characterized by a deficiency of hemoglobin, the molecule found in red blood cells. It can also be characterized by the presence of abnormal red blood cells. Anemia is likewise caused by a deficiency of iron in the body.
Hemoglobin normally carries oxygen from the lungs onto the tissues. If there is a lack of hemoglobin, then there will be lack of oxygen in the bodily organs. Such deficiency of oxygen can manifest itself through tiredness, dizziness, headaches, slow healing, bruising, nervousness, shortness of breath or palpitations. These are thus the common known symptoms of anemia.
Here are some of the teas worth considering when tackling anemia:
Alfalfa Tea - May help in fighting anemia.
Bilberry Tea - May help in treatment of certain disorders in the circulatory system.
Burdock Tea - Effective in blood purification.
Centaury Tea - May help in fighting anemia
