FEATURES:
BALANCING ACTS by Kristina Feliciano. Maine artist Mark Haltof carefully juggles all the elements in his paintings, hoping to capture the life of his subjects in the balance.

A CONVERSATION WITH ALDEN BAKER by Charles Movalli. "I tell my students to try all subjects and not get bogged down in any one theme. Paint anything that looks good to you. Be as original as you want, but first learn to paint what you see," says Massachusetts artist and teacher Alden Baker.

DRAWING NATURE CLOSE UP by Norman Holen. My close-up graphite drawings of cornstalks are designed with a distinct sense of pattern and attention to detail so they can be appreciated both from a distance and up close.

THE WATERCOLOR PAGE: SAVING THE WHITES by Linda Baker. I sometimes refer to my paintings as white-on-whites. Even though I paint traditional subject matter, my work is really about negative space.

PAINTING BY PLAN OR IMPROVISATION by Bruce Bordelon. Some artists plan their paintings carefully, while others work more spontaneously. Here's how I use both approaches to make effective pictures.

LOOKING AT YOUR STUDIO AS A PLACE OF BUSINESS by Michael Del Friore. A well-organized, well-furnished studio can help you project a professional attitude and may make you a more successful artist.

THE CONSTANT SURPRISE OF BEING ALIVE by Stephen Greco. Inspired by what he calls "the intensity of recognizing that life can be suddenly beautiful," New York artist David Konigsberg makes pastels and pastel-over-monotypes that celebrate small but memorable moments.
