Ural Art Trade: Art inspiration, techniques and craft ideas

Ural Art Trade is a blog for artists, makers and art lovers. Beginners can start with our easy drawing ideas and clear explanations of popular painting techniques, from watercolour washes to acrylic layering.

If you sell your work, our guide to pricing artwork helps you value your time and materials fairly. If you love to collect, we explain how to start building an art collection on a modest budget. Families will find craft ideas for kids and adults, and everyone can enjoy our collection of art quotes to spark creativity.

Art is for everyone, regardless of experience or budget. We hope these articles encourage you to pick up a pencil, try a new technique or see the artwork around you in a new way.
