Since I began Artpromotivate, I have been compiling a list of topics to write about for this art promotion blog, and my personal art blog. I’m sure you will agree that it can be difficult to come up with ideas to write on while sitting in front of a computer screen. I have already written about many of these, and plan on writing about some others.
It has been a very rewarding experience writing here every single day. I would like to thank every one of you for regularly visiting this blog. All your support and encouragement means more to me than you will ever know.
For those of you with art blogs, hopefully this page can be used as a reference. Feel free to add more in the comments section, and share this post with your art blogging friends.
