Hi Everyone,
Can you
believe it! September already! For those of us in the northern
hemisphere, autumn starts to arrive. Lots of opportunity for
photography, and painting, with those misty mornings and golden colors.
In this
message I just want to highlight great things happening on PMP, and to
extend a welcome to our many new members. Of course, our main resource
remains the amazing collection of reference photos. Thank you
photographers! Without your generosity this site would not exist!
Be sure to check out our free quarterly magazine, put together by Ruth Archer, this link takes you to a page on issuu where you can view the latest, and back issues, in a browser.
We have a lot of active groups now. If you are a photographer be sure to check out Gary’s ‘Art of Photography’ group.
There are groups for artists in various media and styles. Many have
their own challenges and discussions. See all the groups here.
Thanks to all of you who have supported the recent ‘Painting by Ear’
competition, the results will be posted soon, please have a look at the
paintings produced, it is fun to do that while listening to David's
music.
The main monthly challenge for artists is run by Robyn and Suzanne, they always come up with amazing ideas! The latest one is a wide format painting which will become the site banner for 4 months.
I also want to say a thank you to those who have clicked the donation button to support pmp, this is very much appreciated.
Another way
to support the site, is by purchasing our Kindle ebooks. You can read
them with the free apps from amazon on a tablet, PC or smartphone of any
flavour, and on color kindle devices of course!
As a special incentive, FOR 1 WEEK ONLY the excellent Wildlife Painting Ebook by David Stribbling is
reduced in price to just $2.99. (Normal price $4.99) If you have ever
wondered exactly how this type of work is produced, now is your chance!
If you can, please review on amazon.
Thanks for being a member on PMP, and I wish you a fun and creative Autumn!
Roy Simmons.
