New stock of 2010 Calendars now available to purchase.

A new range of 2010 Wall Calendars which are a generous A3 size , (that’s 297 x 420mm, or 11.69 x 16.54?). These calendars are printed on an HP Indigo 5000 (for those who haven’t heard, this is the digital press). Each page is a satin-coated print on 170gsm high quality art paper. The cover shows an image on heavier 300gsm paper.  These beautiful, professionally printed, inexpensive calendars have a hanger and white wire binding and will keep you, your family, friends and work colleagues organised.  Room to write notes and an ideal Christmas gift.   Click on the picture above to see the Calendars in more detail with the option of purchasing.

A note from the artist:

“These calendars enable you to have twelve of my artworks in an attractive, affordable and functional format and because the quality of the printing is so good, you also have the option of keeping the prints which you could frame or mat if you wish afterwards.“ Lesley

“Hummingbird and Wildflower”

“Golden Leaf and Dragonfly”

“Valentine’s Day Tulip”

This is what the designs will look like with the calendar date included – lots more to do so I mustn’t get too distracted!

The desk calendars will be professionally printed as always to the highest standard, spirally bound with thicker card front and back.  This portable calendar is easily assembled to sit firmly on your desk at home or work with a gorgeous new artwork to keep you inspired every month of the year!

Hope you like them…

The fourth issue of Nature’s Paint Box eZine and the final one for the subscription of 2009!   Don’t panic though, there will be another four gorgeous issues for you to enjoy in 2010 and  back issues of all of the eZines will always be available.

I am thrilled to announce that the DVD Rom is available which contains all four eZines of  2009 to save on the download time and it would also make the perfect         Christmas gift for the artist and nature lover among your family and friends.

In this Issue three more leading wildlife artists share their work with us including Sandra Sengstock-Miller from Australia who loves to portray wildlife in pastels, American scientific illustrator Roger Hall who digitally colours his hand rendered ink line drawings and wildlife photographer Brian Valentine from England who produces stunning macro shots of the flora and fauna in his garden.

Lots of freebies in this Issue also such a gorgeous collection of cute animal vector icons,  an ebook on how to take sharp photographs of wild flowers, a stunning new collection of nature desktop wallpapers for you to enjoy and I liked one so much that I am currently using it on my computer!

There are some excellent art and photography tutorials to help you with your artistic endeavours including how to use focus stacking to create pin sharp photos and we are very lucky to have a step-by-step view of how leading, British wildlife artist Frances Whitman produced her outstanding oil painting of six elephants called “The Stragglers”.

If you suffer from poor organisation and find it difficult to reach deadlines, we have some great tips and programmes to make your life easier.
