This information came to me thru Lea-Ann while hanging the Sparkplug show - and I realized what a great resource it was - hard to find discussion of it anywhere out side the gallery system. It gives good reason to burn & complete these things before you exhibit them. This all made more sense when it was in someone elses words. Thanks!
pricing artists DVD's for sale
AP (Artist Proof) would be priced the highest. For future knowledge, the number of APs in an edition is contingent upon how many copies make up the edition. There should only be one AP for every third of the edition. If there is an edition of three so that means 1 AP. If there is an edition of 10--you would have 3 APs.

SPARKPLUG at Learnapalooza 2008
Artist Materials 101: 2:30 PM to 3:00 PM taught by artist, Jenny
Walton
This short demonstration will take you through materials that artists
have traditionally used up to today's vast variety of widely available
media. We will explore the transition from dirt to paint and
everything in between, focusing on the genres of drawing and painting.
*Black and white
Graphite & Charcoal, Differences between each, how are they made
Inks: Sumi and India
Commercial – traditional vs. modern (natural and synthetic)
*Color pigment – what is it and where does it come from?
Natural vs. synthetic
How does it get mixed to create different mediums
Watercolor, Gouache, Oils, Acrylics, Pastels
*Paper - Small history lesson on papermaking
Examples today’s vast variety
Usage
Eastern vs. western methods
*Painting Grounds
Canvas vs. linen painting
Stretching Your Own Canvas: 3:30 PM to 4:00 PM taught by artist, Peter
Gordon
This demonstration (with a handout) will give people the knowledge to
stretch their own painting canvases in order to save them money and
increase their sense of ownership using a three step demonstration so
people can see the process first hand before attempting in their own
studios.
Demonstration supplies:
• Unprimed canvas (3 pieces, roughly 14-17 inches each)
• Stretcher bars (six 11 inch/ six 14 inch length bars)
• Canvas pliers (1)
• Staple gun (1)
• staples (plenty!!!).
Framing Tips: 4:30 PM to 5:00 PM taught by artist and museum
preparator, Mark Planisek
In this demonstration the canvas that was stretched in the earlier
class is placed in a widely available standard size commercial frame.
Students will get pointers on the different fasteners that can be used
to hold the canvas in the frame, how to wrap a professional picture
wire, when to use D-rings and what kind of hanging nail to use with
each hanging mechanism.
Plus 60 more, learn Mandarin, Improv, Meditation, Juggling, Yoga,
Capoeira, Photoshop, Photography, Pool, and dozens of other things...
all for free.
