| The busiest ones I belong to that are FREE and talk and share a lot about painting are; http://boards.hgtv.com/4/OpenTopic?a=cfrm&s=1084078532&f=2894011632 http://www.betweenthevines.com/html/whats_new_.html
(This is the site of artist Jamie MIlls-Price and she is on the board quite often to answer questions and comment) and www.toletown.com
(This is the site of artists Lorrie Weber & Susan Kelley. Tole Town has an annual fee of $35 but if you want to learn more about painting it is well worth it. They hold 2 on-line classes a month for those interested, a studio section with lots of tutorials, videos, and lots more. Some of the gals here actually learned to paint at this site. They also have tons of projects available.)
I have never payed to join any site in my life but I did this one because I wanted to chat with other painters who painted on a regular basis. Most of the painting boards I used to belong to are now gone. Other forums I belong to where painting is discussed... http://forums.michaels.com/community/ubbthreads.php http://www.circleofcrafters.com/messageboard/ |
