Carol sticks to her ikon 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 really relevant operate model for younger painters of what tin travel achieved if you lot have got the correct mindset, the talent too science to pigment good too the conclusion too dedication to acquire on too "do".
So the get-go private creative somebody to have a prize twice and......
The Best Art Blog Project Virtual Challenge Cup

The characteristics of a skillful Art Society Blog:
There's only i previous winner - inwards 2011 this prize was won by The Denver Art Society.
Shortlist
2012 has seen a lot of progress inwards the utilisation of blogs past times fine art societies. One of the points I would highlight to those wanting to increase traffic to their website/blog is the necessity of having a alive RSS feed thus that tidings tin travel syndicated via emails or feedreaders. I'm seeing what appear to travel some prissy news/blogging elements to novel websites which are missing too RSS feed - too I imagine their traffic volition travel really calorie-free every bit a result.
The Art Society blogs which I desire to highlight inwards the 2012 shortlist are:

| The Painting Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 Day Stickability Shield for daily painters who maintain a consistently high output of consistently skillful character paintings over the course of written report of the yr too laid a skillful example to others. |
Previous winners of this abide by include:
- 2006: Duane Keiser (A Painting Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 Day) and Julian Merrow Smith (Postcard from Provence)
- 2007: Carol Marine (Carol Marine's Painting a Day)
- 2008: Edward Gordon (Edward B. Gordon)

- 2010: Lisa Daria (Lisa Daria)
- 2011: Stephen Magsig - Postcards from Detroit
When I get-go started blogging, at the halt of 2005, the ikon a day phenomenon was only getting underway. Its star exponents won this abide by inwards the really get-go year. Since them many have got sought to simulate but few have got met the frequency achieved past times those who have got won this abide by inwards the past.
In 2012 I'm getting a feel that "painting a day" has had its day. There are soundless a lot of blogs around which imply daily ikon but the reality of their posts advise something else.
That's non to tell that at that spot aren't people out at that spot who are ikon a lot - too on a daily basis!
That's non to tell that at that spot aren't people out at that spot who are ikon a lot - too on a daily basis!
This is non a prize for skillful ikon alone. That's what the best flick abide by is intended to be. However I do await the overall character of artwork on the spider web log to travel both interesting, consistent too good. There are no prizes for slowly paintings! This prize is for somebody who goes the extra mile too has achieved a unique 'look' to their spider web log - i of the benefits from putting inwards a lot of work.
This is a prize which rewards consistent output. It's nearly the notion that people acquire meliorate 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 nearly posting every twenty-four hours - but it is nearly posting a lot of paintings too it is also a nearly a lot of blogging. If you lot do post every day, it is noticed. I should banker's complaint that this abide by is never awarded to people amongst novel blogs - because the capacity to tumble out posting wears off afterward fourth dimension for a lot of people. I'm looking inwards full general for some evidence of nearly 20+ paintings per month.
As an aside, I would genuinely similar to recommend people to have got a long difficult recall nearly a cry which suggests a do of ikon everyday or producing a ikon every twenty-four hours too a do which clearly does neither - inwards damage 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 spider web log that Celeste does non restrain 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 hours reliably. She is i 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 ikon virtually every twenty-four hours (taking weekends off) too what she produces is genuinely rather good. However she only started inwards Apr too for this prize I similar to come across a spider web log which has made it past times the get-go birthday. She's a potent 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 hours (although I can't cheque this every bit he doesn't have got the numbers switched on inwards his archives!). I did even thus do a random cheque too every calendar month I looked at he was ikon virtually every day.
Carol sticks to her ikon 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 really relevant operate model for younger painters of what tin travel achieved if you lot have got the correct mindset, the talent too science to pigment good too the conclusion too dedication to acquire on too "do".
So the get-go private creative somebody to have a prize twice and......
The 2012 Winner of
The Painting a Day Stickability Shield
is Carol Marine
Art tin travel quite a lonely activeness too it's noticeable that people oft similar to have got some form of involvement inwards groups too projects related to art!
This abide by is designed to render some recognition to those who laid too hold 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 Nihon Challenge Auction (Keiko Tanabe, David Marine too the Daily Paintworks Art Bloggers)
I had a pair of fine art blogs inwards withdraw heed relating to projects which I institute both interesting too of value to others. These were:
- Women ikon women - this projection has explored online how contemporary women painters are treatment women every bit subjects. The spider web log 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 at that spot aren't a lot of posts even thus it had a really clear focus too it's ever a pleasance to facial expression at. Thing is they had an exhibition inwards Apr too the whole projection seems to have got fallen past times the wayside thus far every bit the spider web log 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 have got watercolour paintings past times iv leading watercolour artists resident inwards the Great Britain (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 spider web log has similarly rather died the expiry every bit the exhibitions got underway - too stopped inwards March.
So - both worth a cite - but non quite what I'm looking for inwards damage of a projection which relates clearly to 2012.
In the halt I decided that the fine art spider web log projection which was worthy of banker's complaint is a projection led past times Cathy Johnson which received Making Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 Mark's Going Greener Gong inwards 2009.
Group spider web log projects oft 'fall over' afterward a time. People acquire interested inwards other things, participation drops off too and then earlier you lot know it really few people are posting.
Sketching inwards Nature started inwards 2009, has developed a linked site on Flickr (with 748 members) where they oft position hereafter spider web log correspondents, has grown its correspondent base of operations every bit a termination (by invitation only) too every calendar week it generates betwixt v too 10 posts. So lots for people to read making a spider web log worth subscribing too, if you lot 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 get-go hand. Moderation also seems to travel pretty effective inwards reviewing output too keeping the comments on topic every bit well! Bottom line this is a spider web log which has made a commitment to existence both on topic too sustainable!

Last yr I laid out my criteria for a skillful fine art spider web log past times an fine art society. I've laid out a revised version below.
The characteristics of a skillful Art Society Blog:
Art Society Blog posts will:
- Be Useful
- Basic information nearly how travel a fellow member is ever included (i.e. assumes a readership beyond existing members).
- Information nearly events too activities include plenty information for people to travel able to locate the society's activities (e.g. does non assume "everybody knows").
- Be Timely - announcements about events too exhibitions volition permit fourth dimension for people to computer programme too adjust to visit!
- Emphasise the Visual - Art rather than words dominate the blog. Images of artwork or trial posters should ever travel included whenever possible too relevant. An fine art gild spider web log without images says something nearly how of import visual images too the artists' artwork genuinely are! (This factor is the chief argue why some fine art gild blogs are NOT shortlisted. A niggling flake of persistence is all that is required).
- Highlight what the Art Society does - spider web log posts tin present people what the gild does too what it has to offering through the utilisation 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 somebody members, extra traffic for the websites of the artist, fine art gild too gallery associated amongst members.
Shortlist
2012 has seen a lot of progress inwards the utilisation of blogs past times fine art societies. One of the points I would highlight to those wanting to increase traffic to their website/blog is the necessity of having a alive RSS feed thus that tidings tin travel syndicated via emails or feedreaders. I'm seeing what appear to travel some prissy news/blogging elements to novel websites which are missing too RSS feed - too I imagine their traffic volition travel really calorie-free 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 spider web log 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 spider web log post nearly the Annual Exhibition was notified a calendar month inwards advance on the blog. This also emphasised the opportunities for people to sentinel demonstratestions for free.
- Artists of the RI is the spider web log of the Royal Institute of Painters inwards Watercolour (RI). This spider web log provides a lot of profiles of private members amongst a prissy residual betwixt words too paintings past times the artist. At acquaint they're averaging i a month. To appointment they've non yet covered their ain Annual Exhibition or whatsoever other fine art events associated amongst the RI
I'd also similar to cite the American Society of Botanical Artists who have got used a Blogger spider web log to render a site specific agency of presenting the fine art existence 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 at that spot was going to travel i 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 travel by.
On residual I experience that the ROI spider web log at acquaint embraces to a greater extent than of the criteria I recall makes a skillful fine art gild blog. It's got range to develop too I'm certain it volition improve over time. However it's already doing a really skillful job. I peculiarly similar the quantity of images it uses for major events too exhibitions. If you lot pigment inwards oils I recommend you lot subscribe to it too observe out nearly some of its fellow member artists too what the ROI gets upwards to inwards the UK.
