Things I can do in an Art Blog

.
This Art Blog is relatively new. Even writing a Blog is also new to me. I started it partly to get familiar with its nature and features, and with the things I can do in it.

One of them is to explain and show my work in progress (WIP). The final picture of my art can then be shown in my Art Website.

Another is to do some thinking aloud while working on my art, especially any artwork that is complex and require much thinking.

I'll elaborate on this thinking aloud. I have been taking part in online art forums, one of them which I go in more often is the Artspan forum.

Recently in this Artspan forum, I have been doing quite a bit of thinking aloud about planning and pursuing the works on my art. Talking aloud about my thinking process on my art is of benefit to me. It helps me think more clearly, and modifying the things that do not seem right. But actually an online forum is not a suitable platform for this type of talk.

On the other hand, an Art Blog seems a better place for this type of mainly one-directional talks. Thus it is likely that I am going to do more in this Art Blog.
