The Internet has undoubtedly given us access to a wealth of information that was previously hard to come by. It has undoubtedly enriched the lives of artists and enabled them to put their work out there for a new audience to see. There are also websites that give technical advice, sell materials cheaply, offer general resources and provide forums to exchange opinions and contact other artists. These resources may prove invaluable so take a look at a few of them for help and inspiration!
