South African Art / Oil Paintings

Last week I received an email which was suspicious and most likely an attempt at fraud. It was the second email of this kind I received in the last couple of months and it prompted me to write an article about some ways in which artists are targeted over the internet and what you can do to protect yourself against them. I advise all artists who are selling their work online to read this article and also to do some research on their own to make sure they are aware of the methods used by criminals to defraud artists.

I have been hard at work adding artists to our directory of South African artists and we have close to fifty artists listed and are in the process of adding many more. If you are a South African artists and would like to be part of this directory please complete our application form.

I have not started work on a new painting but will be working on my figure drawing for the next couple of weeks. I am looking to gain a better understanding of the human figure and will be studying the human skeletal and muscular structure in order to enhance my figure drawing skills.
