- As promised last week, I like to inform you over the progress of our ART27 - Project. It
was a hard week with ups and downs but finally I could archive some important steps
forward but also disappointments ....
As most of you know I am living a bit far outside in Sanyang and meeting people/artists
who do not appear to fixed appointments, its not so funny, spoiling my time and money for
nothing. I try my level best to build up the ART27 group with honest, respectful and
professional artists.
- The ART27 Member Cards are ready for all "full members" !
- The first professional DIGITAL DRAWING TABLET (big 22 inch) is installed and
members are able to make there first steps into it... Learn on world leading software (full
versions) like... Paint Storm Studio, Artweaver 8 Plus, Clip Studio 4 Pro, Krita, PureRef, ArtRage, Media
Bang Paint Pro, Sketchbook, Rebelle 7, Adobe Fresco, ibisPaint, DrawPad Grafic
Designer, Luo Painter, Pocket Sketchbook, Concepts, Sketchable.
- The WEBSITE will be updated during this week... News, Exhibitions 2025 and the
"Members only" section will open with the first batch of Materials, I brought from Spain
last month...
- EXHIBITIONS.... As I wrote at the beginning, it was an up and down last week, but as
promised in my last post, the ART27 - Group will have 4-5 Exhibitions in 2025 and new,
completely unknown place will be our stage !
New places, new clients, new sponsors.... promised, I am really hard working on it but it
takes some weeks more to confirm with the exact locations and fixed dates.
I wish you all a creative and peaceful week... Any questions, feel free to call me on
7273841, thanks
