The Painting
Basics Forum was the incentive of Grace Farquhar, or better known as
'Sparrow'. Years ago she purchased PhotoImpact at the suggestion of
her daughter.... and that was the beginning of her digital, artistic
career. As she gained experience with PhotoImpact she sought to share
this with others and so began Painting Basics. Sparrow is the founder and
Administrator of the Visual Arts Academy, an Administrator with
the Beginner's Workshop and PhotoImpact-International
Bulletin Board.
One of
Sparrow's ventures is an online Art Gallery featuring her work along with her
friend, Norma Murphy, or better known as 'Acadie'.
Acadie is an artist in her own right. She joined
the Painting Basics team to give her artistic expertise and critiques which helps budding
artists whether real life painting or digital. The two have become a
great team and asset to the Painting Basics Forum. Acadie is the
'Owner/Administrator of PhotoImpact-International, as well as a Moderator of
the Painting Basics forum, and teaches art in the Visual Arts Academy.
The Painting
Basics Forum is designed so all who are interested in painting, whether
digital or using real media can bring their
work to show and gain advancement and experience in art. Above all,
sharing and learning from each other.
PhotoImpact
is one of the easiest programs to use for graphics, photographic work and digital art.
Use this, together with a tablet and pen and you could very well surprise
yourself! The rest
is up to your imagination. Digital
painting, as with any painting can be very rewarding, relaxing and therapeutic.
Each
month Challenges and Projects are posted in the PhotoImpact-International Bulletin
Board/Painting Basics Forum, and we would like to extend a warm welcome
for you to join us.
The
Painting Basics Forum is accessed by clicking on the banner above. This will

Board where you can sign up for a free account.
Looking
forward to seeing you and your work!
