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.

"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"
What's in a Sky?
Kay Sirikul Pattachote
"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."

This painting was completed to participate in an International Exhibition organized by the Bolivia Watercolor Society. I chose a colour theme that can represent the National colors of Bolivia.

Cadmium-Free Watercolour
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.

The Mystery of Music
by Adrian Daub, Professor of Comparative Literature and German Studies, Stanford University
Our topic this week is the Mystery of Music. Music is an amazing thing. It can move us to its groove and or make us cringe. It can lift us up or bring us down. But exactly how does music work its magic on the mind? What separates good music from bad? And why do different people react so differently to the very same music? Those are just some of the questions we address on this week’s episode.
The Mystery of MusicThank you, Heather. This is a great addition to the experiments of the Tuesday group.

This is a local artist (Pescadero, I think) that paints a lot of San Francisco and the Pacific Coast. I discovered him on an Australian show called "Colour in Your Life."
“For me, painting is about trying to capture the essence of things. Subjects and scenes alike have an innate mood and character. I want the painting to tell the story more than the surface of the scene exposes – more than the viewer expects. I hope to touch that intangible quality with my painting, if I can. Pursuing that feeling is what keeps it interesting for me - and always coming back for more.”

Colour in your Life
Name that Color!
A Goofy Quiz:
We perceive differences in the wavelength as color, but the language of color has meaning and history far beyond that. Although there are some who can hear, smell, or even touch color, the rest of us can have feelings for color. This quiz is decidedly more narrow, focused only on the names of colors in the visual spectrum.
