Artists’ Portraits & in Action
These looks like interesting exhibits at the National Portrait Gallery, Reflections/Refractions: Self Portraiture in the Twentieth Century and at the National Gallery of Art (NGA, as I call it), Artists Caught in the Act and Heaven on Earth.
I like this self-portrait below by Julius Brawley and its exquisite detailed rendering in graphite on paper. There is also a self portrait by Chuck Close, a contemporary artist who I really admire.
And here’s a job opportunity for writing five articles on faux finishing and decorative painting from first page through this link at How to Write Better.com.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to create your own watercolor journal. This is nice to see in print, since I’ve been doing this for years without writing it all down.

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
