Smart History
Smarthistory is a non-profit collaboration that brings art's global history to everyone.
I just found this site and think it's a great resource. There are videos about individual artists and/or painting that highlight the different periods and movements of art history.

Nature Journal Club classes
San Francisco Bay Area
March 2019
"The slide deck from my recent class for the Nature Journal Club, “What’s in a Sky?”, is now available for download here. Jack will be posting the video one of these days, but it’s as incoherent and awkward as my videos usually are.
Thanks again for all you do to move watercolor forward in the Bay Area, - Laurie"

Kay Sirikul Pattachote
Sirikul Pattachote is a Thailand-born New York artist and earned her BFA from Silipakorn University of Art and Design (Bangkok). Her artwork is inspired by nature, where she draws upon memories and the experiences of her surroundings in everyday life. The ephemeral quality of life and matter is a central theme in her work. Through her paintings, she attempts to record and preserve certain memories and impressions that highlight the potential good that lies in everyone and everything.
"I'm interested in natural ecosystems and the cycle of life. The laws of nature and the three characteristics of existence in Dharma of Buddhism (impermanence, incompleteness, and non-self) inspire me to tell a story through my art. I prefer to keep such stories discreet within the painting, allowing the viewer of my artwork to either discover it exactly as I had intended or leaving them to find a story of their own within the brush strokes and layers."

The original Cadmium is a rare soft metal, similar to Zinc but much harder to find naturally in the earth. It was only when it was discovered as a by-product of the Zinc refining process, that it became used a commercial pigment.
