Welcome to Shades of Autumn

Welcome back to Shades of Autumn, the same fine arts site with a brand new look and URL. I feel I should tell you a little bit about what is going on here. Basically we are a group of artists. Yes, actual artists who actually make a living off of painting, these people do still exist. And we all quite wanted a place to write, rant, share tips and tricks, talk about our favourite artists and techniques.

So we really do hope that you find something on here that you enjoy, or perhaps even give you a little tip that you like to use in your own work. Enjoy and we hope you come back soon!
