Thaneeya mcardle day of the dead

My name is Thaneeya McArdle, and I've been an artist for as long as I can remember. I started this website way back in because for years I had been getting so many questions about art-making through my personal art website, , that my FAQ section was nearly overflowing.

I received questions from people with a passion and eagerness to learn about art, but who had no idea where to begin.

(This was well over a decade ago, back in the “olden days” before online learning truly took off!) People sent technical questions regarding materials I used or painting techniques.

Unsubscribe at any time. If you want to know more about me and my art, check out my FAQ where you'll find answers to tons of questions I've been asked over the years. Why did you decide to come home?

Others asked about the creative process.

So I decided, why not start a website that I can devote entirely to sharing my enthusiasm for art, while spreading useful and valuable knowledge? Thus, was born. Everyone can benefit; I get to wax eloquently about a topic I am passionate about, and you can glean the fruits of my knowledge and personal experience within the world of art-making!

Almost all of the art on this website was created by me. You can see more examples of my artwork on my website.

When I do show the artwork of a great master or fabulous contemporary (such as in my Featured Artists section), the artwork is clearly identified according to artist (and title of the piece, when known), as well as a link to viewing more of their artwork. If there is no name attached to a piece of artwork on this site, then it means that it is one of my own creations!

In many ways, I and other artists were exploring uncharted digital territories during a time when many of my artist friends from college were chiding me for not going the traditional gallery route. Everyone can benefit; I get to wax eloquently about a topic I am passionate about, and you can glean the fruits of my knowledge and personal experience within the world of art-making! Have you ever faced a situation where you needed to go for it?

On this website, I provide a background and overview of many aspects of art, organized by medium, subject matter, and style. Using mainly my own paintings and drawings as examples, I cover topics such as:

• art supplies/materials used

• thought process behind the art

• actual process of building the artwork

• the basic elements that make each piece "work"
