 Previous winners are:
The work I'm having this twelvemonth is that the procedure of choosing somebody for an accolade gets progressively to a greater extent than difficult.

Sharing is a frame of heed - 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!

Belinda del Pesco (Belinda del Pesco Fine Art) has got the sharing bug.  She takes photos of the diverse as well as dissimilar processes she uses for creating her artwork - inwards watercolours & printmaking - as well as posts the images alongside a narrative on her blog.  Thus non only do you lot meet the finished artwork (which is pretty nice!) but you lot every bit good acquire to acquire how she did it.  She recommends what has helped her - whether that's fine art supplies, fine art books or fine art videos. Her emphasis is on her artwork rather than blogging - therefore she only posts 1 time or twice a calendar week - even so her posts are ever high quality.  Plus she provides some ace quotes from other artists!

The Make Me Think Gong 

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

This accolade leans to a greater extent than towards matters relating to career as well as concern aspects of existence an creative mortal rather than artistic practise per se. So less "how to paint" as well as to a greater extent than "how to avoid existence a starving artist"

In the expanse of people who spider web log close fine art concern nosotros stimulate got diverse models for blogging concern advice

First everybody does a flake of it but most don't nation plenty on a regular footing to live on considered for this award.  Next nosotros stimulate got those who do nation to a greater extent than - as well as and so create upwards one's heed to gear upwards a split upwards spider web log - as well as and so run out of fourth dimension or content.  For representative - I absolutely loved Cindy Haase's What Are You Really Selling? (The Nitty-Gritty Nuggets of Selling Art Online) and it showed lots of hope - but it stopped afterward 4 months (for reasons I tin good understand) as well as has non resumed.

Nest nosotros stimulate got the dedicated fine art concern mortal who has a fiscal commitment to delivering a skillful fine art blog.  Then at that spot are the bigger commercial enterprises which may or may non deliver a lot online inwards the shape of a blog.  My thought is that this accolade is for independent every bit opposed to paid bloggers as well as therefore this rules out some skillful blogs as well as some non so wonderful blogs.  For example, I exclude all impress journals alongside a spider web log online every bit they are clearly involved alongside paid blogging.

This twelvemonth I started keeping an oculus on Cory Huff's The Abundant Artist.  First off I liked his goal which focuses on trying to figure out how to build a successful fine art business.
My goal is to learn artists to live on empowered to stimulate got accuse of their ain fine art business, as well as to non permit others dictate to them whether or non their function is skillful enough, commercial enough, or fits some pre-determined mold of what an fine art career should be.
Next, I liked the thought of a site constructed yesteryear somebody who was network savvy (as inwards he's a Strategic Business Analyst at Janrain) and was already helping artists to succeed.  There's non a lot of posts but yesteryear as well as large they're skillful character as well as they characteristic people who are success stories - who tell you lot how they did it.  The advice every bit good seems to live on really much of the "now" every bit opposed to adapted from the past. It was a recommended bookmark this twelvemonth as well as I intend overall it's continued to impress  and so......

The Make Me Think Gong

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 live on somebody who blogs close fine art - BUT they don't stimulate got to live on an artist.
  • the mass MUST 
    • have been published inwards the previous ii years ie afterward 1st Jan 2011 inwards the instance of the accolade for 2012. This is to avoid whatever bias towards books published inwards the early on business office of this twelvemonth every bit opposed to those which stimulate got non yet had fourth dimension to build a following.
    • add value every bit opposed to existence to a greater extent than of the 'same old, same old'. or but prissy to expect at.
My aim is to respect a mass which does NOT follow the conventional publisher's recipe for a lot of fine art books.  I every bit good don't apply the 3 twelvemonth dominion to this accolade on the footing that there's only a pocket-size laid of people who write fine art books!

Typically a "blue ribbon book"
  • will stimulate got a structure, content as well as pattern which speaks of the passion as well as priorities of the creative mortal blogger who has written it (ie "identikit books" volition NOT win this award!)
  • may stimulate got been produced as well as marketed yesteryear the creative mortal blogger. 

There was never whatever inquiry which mass was going to win this accolade inwards 2012.

The Art of Urban Sketching: Drawing On Location Around The World by Gabriel Campanario.   is the showtime mass created via contributions from participants on the Urban Sketchers blog. It belike couldn't stimulate got been created without blogging.  It's every bit good an splendid book. It provides a comprehensive guide every bit to how to sketch inwards an urban surroundings - on locations around the world. Plus it displays a broad diversity of freehand sketches done from observation - of dissimilar subjects yesteryear dissimilar people.  However 1 of its chief claims to fame - inwards damage of spreading the gospel of sketching from observation - is its stonking sales record! (link for those who ask the Brit Definition of the word!)
  • The mass topped the Best Seller Lists for Drawing Books BEFORE it was published on 1 Feb 2012.  
  • In went on to notch upwards the #10 spot inwards the top 100 books inwards the Arts as well as Design Category on Amazon (which at nowadays includes music) on the forcefulness of pre-orders alone. 
  • It as well as so sold out similar a shot it was published
  • It went direct to reprint which every bit good sold out inside a few weeks. 
  • It's at nowadays on its tertiary impress since publication. It's proved to live on so pop that its sales as well as ranking stimulate got only been express yesteryear how fast this mass tin live on printed!  
I intend 1 of the reasons it has consistently attracted very skillful reviews as well as lots of sales is that's been written yesteryear people who genuinely do something rather a lot of people would similar to live on able to do. It's every bit good written yesteryear people who people who are NOT writing to an pre-determined editorial recipe provided yesteryear a publisher.  As happened alongside the James Gurney books, when people are allowed to wrote close what they desire to write about, it makes a difference!
