ephemera
This section is a collection of resources and things I find interesting. My practice is heavily affected by what I am listening to, reading, and watching at any given time and I like to provide access to that information. This collection also includes resources for learning more about color and pigments, paint itself, other materials, and art history.

Wikipedia! Wikipedia is honestly one of the best places to begin research. It provides a decent starting point with references you can follow for detailed information. Wikimedia Commons is also very useful as it gives you access to files that are not embedded in the articles
