The Eons Art School
The Eons Art School group is intended to be a learning environment for artists. New students who want to practice and improve their skills, intermediate artists wishing to refine their talent, and more accomplished artists who wish to share their experience and knowledge with others are all welcome here.
Every artist is encouraged to post a Work in Progress (WIP) in the photo section of the home page for the members to comment upon. Member artists looking for tips and instruction are asked to leave this WIP up for a period of time as someone will always respond given a little time to consider or research the issue.
Artists are also invited to instructional graphics on topics ranging from perspective issues, general anatomy, medium techniques and the like.
Discussion is for everyone- professional critiques are invaluable, but so are comments from other artists, experienced or not, who can offer a fresh eye and bring out points that may otherwise be taken for granted. Don't forget the advice given may not always be used for a particular work, but it can still help another who reads the posts.
After a certain period of time has elapsed, the entire conversation, images and dialog will be deleted from the general area and preserved in the “Files” section on the left side of the home page as a case instruction manual for anyone, at any time, to ponder at their own pace.
Be welcomed, and participate.

Welcome to all the newest members, please read...
I invite you to take the time and dive into our files (stretching canvas, washes, dry brush techniques, etc) and view the photo section. After that, you might just want to view all messages concerning the exercises we attempt each month.
Please just don't post images showing us what you did at some point in your life, these should be in your profile. When posted here, I used to place them in folders in the Art School archives but this seemed to duplicate them and managing them became cumbersome for all concerned. Should an exercise delight you, I (we) expect that you attempt these in "real time" ( at your leisure ) but that they are works in progress, not something you did before joining the school. Otherwise, you won't learn anything completely new which may positively affect your technique from then on.
Participation is not required, but very, very, strongly suggested. You can also feel free to begin a "string" requesting instruction concerning a particular aspect or concern of yours ... as long as it remains art related.
