Generating Art inwards 2012
The Painting a Day Stickability Shield
Previous winners of this honor include:
Here are some of the painters I looked at who have got non made the shortlist for this honor before.
Carol sticks to her icon inwards everything she does. It's the springboard for all her other activities - too throughout she creates 20+ paintings a calendar month too what's to a greater extent than she sells them all! For me she's a real relevant operate model for younger painters of what tin transportation away endure achieved if y'all have got the correct mindset, the talent too science to pigment good too the decision too dedication to acquire on too "do".
So the outset private creative mortal to have a prize twice and......
The Best Art Blog Project Virtual Challenge Cup
Art tin transportation away endure quite a lonely activeness too it's noticeable that people oft similar to have got some kind of involvement inwards groups too projects related to art!
This honor is designed to render some recognition to those who laid too maintain such projects going.
Previous winners are:
I had a duo of fine art blogs inwards remove heed relating to projects which I constitute both interesting too of value to others. These were:
The Best Art Society Blog Prize
Last yr I laid out my criteria for a adept fine art weblog past times an fine art society. I've laid out a revised version below.
The characteristics of a adept Art Society Blog:
There's simply ane previous winner - inwards 2011 this prize was won by The Denver Art Society.
Shortlist
2012 has seen a lot of progress inwards the usage of blogs past times fine art societies. One of the points I would highlight to those wanting to growth traffic to their website/blog is the necessity of having a alive RSS feed therefore that intelligence tin transportation away endure syndicated via emails or feedreaders. I'm seeing what appear to endure some overnice news/blogging elements to novel websites which are missing too RSS feed - too I imagine their traffic volition endure real low-cal every bit a result.
The Art Society blogs which I desire to highlight inwards the 2012 shortlist are:
The awards grouped nether the championship "Generating Art" relate to generating fine art either every bit an private creative mortal or every bit an fine art grouping - formal or informal.

"What they telephone band talent is nada but the capacity for doing continuous piece of work inwards the correct way."Winslow Homer
| The Painting H5N1 Day Stickability Shield for daily painters who maintain a consistently high output of consistently adept character paintings over the class of the yr too laid a adept illustration to others. |
Previous winners of this honor include:
- 2006: Duane Keiser (A Painting H5N1 Day) and Julian Merrow Smith (Postcard from Provence)
- 2007: Carol Marine (Carol Marine's Painting a Day)
- 2008: Edward Gordon (Edward B. Gordon)
- 2009: Loriann Signori (Loriann Signori's painting-a-day)
- 2010: Lisa Daria (Lisa Daria)
- 2011: Stephen Magsig - Postcards from Detroit
When I outset started blogging, at the halt of 2005, the icon a day phenomenon was simply getting underway. Its star exponents won this honor inwards the real outset year. Since them many have got sought to copy but few have got met the frequency achieved past times those who have got won this honor inwards the past.
In 2012 I'm getting a feel that "painting a day" has had its day. There are silent a lot of blogs around which imply daily icon but the reality of their posts propose something else.
That's non to tell that in that place aren't people out in that place who are icon a lot - too on a daily basis!
That's non to tell that in that place aren't people out in that place who are icon a lot - too on a daily basis!
This is non a prize for adept icon alone. That's what the best film honor is intended to be. However I do expression the overall character of artwork on the weblog to endure both interesting, consistent too good. There are no prizes for ho-hum paintings! This prize is for somebody who goes the extra mile too has achieved a unique 'look' to their weblog - ane of the benefits from putting inwards a lot of work.
This is a prize which rewards consistent output. It's almost the notion that people acquire ameliorate the to a greater extent than they do, that succeeding is won through putting inwards the hours too some difficult graft rather than hitting on a tendency too spinning off from it - or fifty-fifty getting pinned lots of times!
It's no longer almost posting every twenty-four hr menstruum - but it is almost posting a lot of paintings too it is also a almost a lot of blogging. If y'all do post every day, it is noticed. I should banking concern annotation that this honor is never awarded to people amongst novel blogs - because the capacity to proceed posting wears off later fourth dimension for a lot of people. I'm looking inwards full general for some evidence of almost 20+ paintings per month.
As an aside, I would genuinely similar to recommend people to have got a long difficult yell back almost a yell which suggests a do of icon everyday or producing a icon every twenty-four hr menstruum too a do which clearly does neither - inwards price of what appears on the blog.

Shortlist
- Celeste Bergin, Celeste Bergin Painter (Nominated past times Jeanette Jobson) 343 posts inwards 2012 to date. She has a phenomenal posting record. I noted from her weblog that Celeste does non bound herself to postcard size modest paintings. Plus she's looking around at artand posting photos of it fifty-fifty when she's non creating it herself.
Located inwards Portland, Oregon, she posts everyday too paints every twenty-four hr menstruum reliably. She is ane of the most fine art immersed artists that I have got the pleasance to know too ever an inspiration.
- Kathleen Coy My Daily Painting Challenge does genuinely create a icon virtually every twenty-four hr menstruum (taking weekends off) too what she produces is genuinely rather good. However she only started inwards Apr too for this prize I similar to run into a weblog which has made it past times the outset birthday. She's a rigid contender for side past times side yr if she keeps going!
- Tom Brown has had a blog Tom Brown Fine Art since 2006 too seems to pigment pretty much every twenty-four hr menstruum (although I can't banking concern check this every bit he doesn't have got the numbers switched on inwards his archives!). I did yet do a random banking concern check too every calendar month I looked at he was icon virtually every day.
Carol sticks to her icon inwards everything she does. It's the springboard for all her other activities - too throughout she creates 20+ paintings a calendar month too what's to a greater extent than she sells them all! For me she's a real relevant operate model for younger painters of what tin transportation away endure achieved if y'all have got the correct mindset, the talent too science to pigment good too the decision too dedication to acquire on too "do".
So the outset private creative mortal to have a prize twice and......
The 2012 Winner of
The Painting a Day Stickability Shield
is Carol Marine
Art tin transportation away endure quite a lonely activeness too it's noticeable that people oft similar to have got some kind of involvement inwards groups too projects related to art!
This honor is designed to render some recognition to those who laid too maintain such projects going.

Previous winners are:
- 2006: the Crackskull Bob Self-Portrait Marathon and the Daily Painters Blog
- 2007: the International Sketchcrawl drawing marathons
- 2008: Different Strokes from Different Folks
- 2009: Urban Sketchers
- 2010: The Virtual Paintout
- 2011: The Help Nippon Challenge Auction (Keiko Tanabe, David Marine too the Daily Paintworks Art Bloggers)
I had a duo of fine art blogs inwards remove heed relating to projects which I constitute both interesting too of value to others. These were:
- Women icon women - this projection has explored online how contemporary women painters are treatment women every bit subjects. The weblog was founded by Sadie Valeri, Alia El-Bermani and Diane Feissel and has featured many paintings past times women of women. It's a modest scale projection too in that place aren't a lot of posts yet it had a real clear focus too it's ever a pleasance to expression at. Thing is they had an exhibition inwards Apr too the whole projection seems to have got fallen past times the wayside therefore far every bit the weblog is concerned ever since. This is a projection which should have got won the prize inwards previous years - but met rigid competition!
- The Art of the Real blog documented the projection to accept watercolour paintings past times iv leading watercolour artists resident inwards the U.K. (Angus McEwan RSW ARWS, David Poxon RI, Denis Ryan ARWS, Sandra Walker RI) to a series of exhibitions around the world. Well the exhibitions have got taken position but the weblog has similarly rather died the expiry every bit the exhibitions got underway - too stopped inwards March.
So - both worth a advert - but non quite what I'm looking for inwards price of a projection which relates clearly to 2012.
In the halt I decided that the fine art weblog projection which was worthy of banking concern annotation is a projection led past times Cathy Johnson which received Making H5N1 Mark's Going Greener Gong inwards 2009.
Group weblog projects oft 'fall over' later a time. People acquire interested inwards other things, participation drops off too and therefore earlier y'all know it real few people are posting.
Sketching inwards Nature started inwards 2009, has developed a linked site on Flickr (with 748 members) where they oft position time to come weblog correspondents, has grown its correspondent base of operations every bit a resultant (by invitation only) too every calendar week it generates betwixt v too 10 posts. So lots for people to read making a weblog worth subscribing too, if y'all have got a similar interest, but non a huge commitment for an private correspondent. It's also a correspondent recruitment model which tends to raise the calibre of the post. Plus the posts remain on topic too do non drift away from the argue for its existence i.e. sketching nature from observation too at outset hand. Moderation also seems to endure pretty effective inwards reviewing output too keeping the comments on topic every bit well! Bottom line this is a weblog which has made a commitment to beingness both on topic too sustainable!

Last yr I laid out my criteria for a adept fine art weblog past times an fine art society. I've laid out a revised version below.
The characteristics of a adept Art Society Blog:
Art Society Blog posts will:
- Be Useful
- Basic information almost how acquire a fellow member is ever included (i.e. assumes a readership beyond existing members).
- Information almost events too activities include plenty information for people to endure able to locate the society's activities (e.g. does non assume "everybody knows").
- Be Timely - announcements about events too exhibitions volition let fourth dimension for people to programme too adapt to visit!
- Emphasise the Visual - Art rather than words dominate the blog. Images of artwork or lawsuit posters should ever endure included whenever possible too relevant. An fine art guild weblog without images says something almost how of import visual images too the artists' artwork genuinely are! (This factor is the principal argue why some fine art guild blogs are NOT shortlisted. A piffling fleck of persistence is all that is required).
- Highlight what the Art Society does - weblog posts tin transportation away present people what the guild does too what it has to offering through the usage of photographs of activities too artwork
- Supports Artists through highlighting their exhibitions too websites. Blog posts profile members, their artwork too their exhibitions - regular updates throughout the yr generate extra marketing for creative mortal members, extra traffic for the websites of the artist, fine art guild too gallery associated amongst members.
Shortlist
2012 has seen a lot of progress inwards the usage of blogs past times fine art societies. One of the points I would highlight to those wanting to growth traffic to their website/blog is the necessity of having a alive RSS feed therefore that intelligence tin transportation away endure syndicated via emails or feedreaders. I'm seeing what appear to endure some overnice news/blogging elements to novel websites which are missing too RSS feed - too I imagine their traffic volition endure real low-cal every bit a result.
The Art Society blogs which I desire to highlight inwards the 2012 shortlist are:
- The Royal Institute of Oil Painters Blog - the ROI weblog is loaded amongst images from exhibitions too fine art events. Plus it makes a indicate of highlighting private members too their exhibitions, galleries too websites - inwards turn. It also highlights awards made to members past times other fine art societies. The weblog post almost the Annual Exhibition was notified a calendar month inwards advance on the blog. This also emphasised the opportunities for people to lookout demonstratestions for free.
- Artists of the RI is the weblog of the Royal Institute of Painters inwards Watercolour (RI). This weblog provides a lot of profiles of private members amongst a overnice residue betwixt words too paintings past times the artist. At introduce they're averaging ane a month. To engagement they've non yet covered their ain Annual Exhibition or whatsoever other fine art events associated amongst the RI
I'd also similar to advert the American Society of Botanical Artists who have got used a Blogger weblog to render a site specific agency of presenting the fine art beingness exhibited inwards their Annual Exhibition - see
13th Annual International Juried Botanical Art Exhibition 2010 and 14th Annual International Juried Botanical Art Exhibition 2011. I had hoped in that place was going to endure ane for the 15th Annual Exhibition - but sadly not. It would have got been on the shortlist if the 2010 too 2011 exhibitions blogs has been anything to locomote by.
On residue I experience that the ROI weblog at introduce embraces to a greater extent than of the criteria I yell back makes a adept fine art guild blog. It's got reach to prepare too I'm certain it volition improve over time. However it's already doing a real adept job. I peculiarly similar the quantity of images it uses for major events too exhibitions. If y'all pigment inwards oils I recommend y'all subscribe to it too detect out almost some of its fellow member artists too what the ROI gets upwards to inwards the UK.
