Daily Painting Practice

Daily Painting Practice is an impressive blog by Peter Yesis. Peter explains about his blog thus:
I believe art is to be shared. I have gained so much from others sharing their art experiences and knowledge, I thought this blog would be a great way for me to give something back.

I think Peter Yesis is to be commended for offering to share his considerable artistic talents with others through his blog. If you are keen about learning more about painting, you will learn a lot from Peter's blog where he offers advice and useful tips about how he paints.
