  • The FAQs as well as Answers Really Useful Medal

  • The Best Book yesteryear an Art Blogger Blue Ribbon
This especial department of the awards focuses on our personal evolution - whether that's via:
  • regular posts on a weblog wholly focused on the evolution of artists
  • a really goodness serial of posts on a especial theme of major relevance to artists
  • a novel fine art instruction book
  • a novel mass nigh the creative individual as well as the fine art business
For some argue there's a really rigid fine art describe of piece of job concern season to this year's accolade winners.

The FAQs as well as Answers Really Useful Medal


The FAQs as well as Answers Really Useful Medal
values those art blogs which aim to part useful data for artists - including what they have got learned with/from others
Previous winners are:



Sharing is a frame of hear - it's a mindset if you lot like.  You've either got it or you lot haven't.  If you've got it, sharing but seeps into everything you lot do!

I've got a issue of recommendations for this award
The FAQs as well as Answers Really Useful Medal: for her video weblog tutorial Grow your fine art describe of piece of job concern online. Full of hands on as well as detailed data how to gear upward an online store to increase your sales. I definitely volition do this inwards January.
  • Artists Helping Artists was nominated by Susan Williamson (however they won inwards 2011 as well as thence are ineligible for the accolade this year)
  • Painters-table.com was nominated by Ilaria Rosselli Del Turco (I think it mightiness have got been meliorate if the Painters Table had been nominated for the Showcase Shield nether the Generating Art category - nonetheless I've got it noted every bit a competitor for 2014 as well as volition survive keeping an oculus on it over the course of report of 2014.)
Painters-table.com is a weblog of blogs that selects all the most interesting blogposts of the day. I am an avid reader because it covers figurative, abstract, contemporary as well as sometime masters painting.
For the FAQ's award, I'd similar to nominate http://ilardt.blogspot.co.uk/ - for her progress alongside monoprinting over the year, from starting out to selling on Etsy, every bit good every bit her lovely "my weblog is your blog" feature, where she shares lovely piece of job yesteryear other artists. Would nominate a fair few of her paintings, too, if I had the fourth dimension as well as permission . . .
I've non reviewed all of Roos Schuring's videos - I've alone been able to dip inwards as well as out of 3 of them - as well as that's because nosotros are talking lengthy videos.  It sure enough appears she's made a huge endeavour to address the type of questions which come upward up 1 time to a greater extent than as well as 1 time to a greater extent than for those trying to sell their art. To so invest her fourth dimension every bit a professional person creative individual inwards making the videos as well as the supporting documentation as well as so brand all the videos available for complimentary is definitely going to a higher house as well as beyond inwards the "helping out your swain artists" stakes!

I'm sure enough not a fan of all of her presentation techniques but I'm really used to doing presentations so I justice I'm existence picky (but I am a rigid believer inwards outlawing  loud music from all educational videos!)

She's but published a recap of the even out so far - which I think mightiness really survive a really goodness house for people to start. It's called 4 Steps Towards Success to Sell More Art.

So for the endeavour as well as the content....

The FAQs as well as Answers Really Useful Medal

The Make Me Think Gong 


The Make Me Think Gong
for the person who makes me (and others) think as well as offers insights that are transferable to the action as well as describe of piece of job concern of existence an artist. 

One of the awards had to survive to a greater extent than nigh matters relating to the career as well as fine art describe of piece of job concern halt of things - as well as this is it.  It's less "how to paint" as well as to a greater extent than "how to avoid existence a starving artist".



This accolade is also for independent every bit opposed to paid bloggers which way that this rules out some goodness blogs (eg the Seller Handbook correspondents for Etsy's The Storque) as well as some non so wonderful blogs e.g. all paper journals alongside a weblog online.

Previous winners:
An fine art describe of piece of job concern mag lately identified what it saw every bit the 10 Best Art Blogs to follow. Naturally, given the championship of the magazine, I assumed they'd all survive nigh the fine art business. Except they weren't. Only iv of the x were really nigh the fine art business. One of the other vi had alone produced v posts inwards full inwards the terminal year. 

The fact of the affair is in that location aren't that many blogs out in that location which supply consistently goodness content alongside practical advice as well as the advice nigh which ones are nifty isn't e'er that marvellous either!  Which is where this accolade comes in......

 Nominations received included
Hands on as well as detailed data how to gear upward your ain online store inwards guild to increase your sales. I volition follow her suggest as well as laid mine upward inwards January
Maria Brophy is a no-nonsense businesswoman as well as blogger, who non alone helps straight as well as maintain the career of internationally-known creative individual Drew Brophy, but ofttimes presents helpful guidance to avoid pitfalls of wrong describe of piece of job concern practices where artists are concerns--invaluable lessons, illustrated yesteryear real-life experiences as well as examples.
I'd similar to nominate Susan Mumford for her Dominicus Reading blog. It's existence going for a chip over a year, as well as provides weekly insight into the fine art world.
I have got to tell I also had Be Smart nigh Art on my listing - nonetheless it's silent a relatively novel setup as well as I'm adding it directly to my listing for this accolade for adjacent year!

That's because I've had somebody inwards hear for some fourth dimension every bit existence somebody who should survive awarded the Make Me Think Gong for his contributions to thinking nigh fine art business.

Alan Bamberger's ArtBusiness.com provides really helpful as well as consistently goodness advice - fifty-fifty if the frequency of posting is infrequent.  In terms of the content that's probable to involvement artists it's to a greater extent than weblog than website but, that said, it's non a lot similar most other blogs.  For example, both Feedly as well as I have got looked inwards vain for an RSS feed. 

Artists involve to focus on this link Articles for Artists: Resources to Present, Promote, Market Your Art. I think I've recommended every article inwards that listing at 1 fourth dimension or some other as well as some to a greater extent than than once.  He's really much labelled every bit an goodness on my diverse websites nigh the fine art business.

The cardinal thing to holler upward is Alan packs inwards plenty content to 1 article to supply a serial of 5-10 weblog posts yesteryear other bloggers.  He's variety of the obverse of Twitter as well as really curt daily tips - he's consistently long on length alongside lots of corporation content. Read his most recent article on Everything You Need to Know About Pricing Your Art as well as you'll run across what I mean.  (By way of contrast he is brief as well as to the indicate on Facebook - run across his Facebook Page for Alan Bamberger artbusiness.com). I'd dice so far to tell that if Alan ever got circular to compiling his advice to artists inwards a mass format he'd really in all probability have got a bestseller on his hands!

The Best Book yesteryear an Art Blogger Blue Ribbon


The Best Book yesteryear an Art Blogger Blue Ribbon
for the most helpful mass written/produced yesteryear an fine art blogger 

Previous winners
The criteria are that
  • the writer MUST survive somebody who blogs nigh fine art - BUT they don't have got to survive an artist.
  • the mass MUST 
    • have been published inwards the previous 2 years ie after 1st Jan 2012 inwards the instance of the accolade for 2013. This is to avoid whatever bias towards books published inwards the early on piece of job of this twelvemonth every bit opposed to those which have got non yet had fourth dimension to construct a following.
    • add value every bit opposed to existence to a greater extent than of the 'same old, same old'. or but prissy to await at.
My aim is to honor a mass which does NOT follow the conventional publisher's recipe for a lot of fine art books. 

Typically a "blue ribbon book"
  • will have got a structure, content as well as blueprint which speaks of the passion as well as priorities of the creative individual blogger who has written it (ie "identikit books" volition NOT win this award!)
  • may have got been produced as well as marketed yesteryear the creative individual blogger. 
I also don't apply the 3 twelvemonth dominion to this accolade on the footing that there's alone a pocket-size laid of people who write fine art books!  

Clara Lieu's book Learn, Create, as well as Teach was nominated yesteryear Rose Welty
The mass is really honest nigh living the creative life from someone who is doing it. It is really approachable but silent informative. e.g. She answers the inquiry "can artists have got it all?" alongside "yes, but non all at once." The mass has helped me to a greater extent than accurately assess where I am as well as what I involve to survive doing to displace forward.
I'll sure enough endorse Clara's weblog every bit existence a very interesting read - it's 1 of the blogs I follow.  If you've non read her earlier attempt her most pop posts

The winner of this year's accolade published the Kindle Edition of the Second Edition inwards Jan 2012.  When outset published I'd Rather Be inwards the Studio: The Artist's No-Excuse Guide to Self-Promotion by Alyson Stanfield had no adventure against the juggernauts of Gurney and Urban Sketchers which were 'one Equus caballus races' inwards both 2011 as well as 2012 - alongside both books existence best sellers earlier they'd fifty-fifty been published!

However it's really of import to greenback that nearly 2 years afterward that this is a mass which is a steady seller as well as a stayer. It has proved to survive consistently pop as well as highly regarded yesteryear its readers. It currently enjoys 84 reviews on Amazon.com rating it an average of 4.9 out of 5 stars - which is an absolutely stellar performance. It also way it directly outranks 'The Art of Urban Sketching!

It's also of import to holler upward that this is yet some other mass which was written according to the author's thought of what was important. Design as well as content were non dictated yesteryear a publishing house.  Alyson gear upward her ain publishing companionship to create this book. What is really evident from some of the previous winners as well as this mass is that when the experts inwards their patch are allowed to write what they desire to write as well as what they think is of import so their books for artists often dice best sellers. However it does aid if you lot already have got a following!
