Howdy gang! I have another round of really amazing Links of Interest for you. November seems to offer gobs of great stuff! Let’s dig in…
A Personal Note…
On a personal note, I have lots of stuff cooking for the website. I’m currently working on two new chapters of Yes, You Too Can Draw! Both of these chapters continue on expanding our skills when it comes to cheating at perspective. (Okay, it’ll seem like cheating.) Also I have a stack of reviews that I need to finally get out, covering a wide array of art materials that I have been playing with (i.e. – Winsor & Newton’s new markers, Atelier Acrylics, and anything that I could reasonably waste my money on.) I’ve been leaking what I’ve been up to here and there on the Official ChrisHilbig.com FaceBook Page. Even though I have my issues with Facebook, it is the least chaotic form of social media. And I am very grateful for that.

Cindy Agan Is Ridiculously Good!
I guess I will be shelling out a lot of cash this month. I always receive numerous North Light newsletters in my inbox, and I’ll have to admit that they have posted some really great stuff this month over on Artist Network TV. I’ve just discovered Cindy Agan, and I really love her watercolor work. I’m also astonished by here video tutorial, Painting Watercolors that Sparkle with Life. This video demonstrates some of Agan’s watercolor and gouache techniques. I recommend you at least check out the preview video featuring how Agan paints eyes. You won’t regret it!

Watermedia Foundation: Watercolor & Gouache
Adding to my never-ending bucket list, are Stephen Quiller’s two Watermedia Foundation courses. Chapter 1 largely focuses on how to take advantage watercolor’s different characteristics. He also goes into the basics of Gouache painting and provides demonstrations that integrates the two mediums.

Chapter 2 focuses largely of the Gouache medium. It’s a good introduction for anyone wanting to learn more about gouache. During Quiller’s demonstration, he covers many gouache techniques including wet-on-wet, mixing colors, and texturing techniques. To watch these two great videos, you can ether pay a $16.99 USD monthly subscription or purchase lifetime access to either video for $16.99 USD.

Susan’s Musings
I am also a big fan of Rabbi Daniel Lapin. His teachings on life and business are indispensable. The good rabbi’s wife and business partner, Susan Lapin has her own blog where she shares her wisdom with readers and chronicles her travels.

The Self Made Man Podcast
I have been following fellow Texan Mike Dillard since he founded the EVG Group just a few years ago. I have learned a lot from this man!

The interviews cover a wide array of topics from business, health, relationship, etc. It is great stuff, and for FREE! You can subscribe now on both iTunes and/or Stitcher.
