Pet Portrait Forum
Nick and myself started the pet portrait forum about 4 years ago and it has gone from strength to strength. If you are an artist, in particular an animal artist, you will definitely enjoy and gain a lot from visiting the Pet Portrait Forum. We have many members who dip in and out on a regular basis to answer questions, put up their artwork for critique, show their latest portraits, give demos, discuss materials and mediums, recommend books and dvds and we also have a reference library. We have experts in various fields from Framers to IT gurus helping out too.
London Art College Forum
The London Art college also have a forum dedicated to our students. The forum is primarily for our students to chat to each other, show their work and generally get encouragement and support form each other. Both nick and myself run the forum, it is only in its first year so the more students that join the better! We have challenges, have threads on inspiring artists and the most popular thread at the moment is our 'sketch a day'. If you are an LAC student come along and join in the fun! - London Art College forum.
