Empty Easel

EmptyEasel is a website for artists and art lovers. It has two purposes: first, to bring greater understanding of art through clear, well-written tutorials and articles; and second, to help new or unknown artists reach a wider audience by encouraging ALL artists to use the internet to promote and sell their artwork.

In addition (not that I should really have to say this) much of what is written on EmptyEasel falls under the category of opinion. Art is subjective, after all.

Submitting Articles

I’ll accept any type of art article, and I’m even willing to edit them for spelling and grammar to make sure they’re as good as they can be. (To be honest, I won’t be able to help myself—like I said before, I’m a perfectionist.)

I WILL turn down articles that don’t have any value for readers, or are self-promotional—and please don’t copy/paste someone else’s writing.

In general, if you write an article that shows HOW to do something, or discusses another artist in-depth, or gives an interesting art-related opinion, I’ll publish it. And I don’t even mind if your opinions are different from my own.

Not only will you get recognition for the article on EmptyEasel, but you’ll also get two links back to your art website, art blog, or online art portfolio.

Those links will send direct traffic from EmptyEasel, and help your website rank higher in Google and other search engines as well. If you don’t have a website but you’re selling original artwork or prints online through some other website, I’ll link directly to the page where your art is for sale.
