*HOPEFULLY THE LAST EDIT TO THIS JOURNAL*


*EDIT*
I was fed up of browsing through all the links all the time - so i made an app that checks my favorite livestreams for if they are live.
Works almost all of the time - only sometimes the streams cannot be found  but that is a problem of livestream not of the app.
The online streams are listed at the top.

I can take more streams on the list but beware that calling the page will take longer the more streams i have to check. Feedback is welcome...
*END OF EDIT*
-----------------------------------------
I watched a lot of livestreams lately and wanted to put the information here.
Livestreams have a lot of cool results.

1) you can watch an awesome artist at work
2) you can ask questions and most artists will answer you
3) it motivates you to push yourself more.
4) you have company when painting. I often just hear the sound and have the chat on top while i paint something new myself
5) a lot of artists I watch are a bunch of cool people. There is always some lightful banter and jokes.

Since i discovered this I am a lot more motivated - you can see that at the number of pictures i posted this year.

So here is a list of livestreams i check often.
I reduced the list to ppl I have watched more than once.
I apologize for all of you kind people i forgot to mention.)

All of them are great artists.

Sickbrush - he got me hooked on livestream - always helpful and his working ethics are unbelievable. Too bad (for me) that he has some comissions and is not online as much as before - but good for him! [link]
Newsha - always kind and you can bet to find some funny people in her chat [link]
Viccolatte - so great pictures and such a nice person [link]
Fer - you have to love her pictures that are always a touch dark [link]
Adelenta - sooo talented [link]
Miles Johnston - should be on more often - when he is on he is a source of great information [link]
EWKn - master of environment pictures. [link]
Charfade - great chalk artist and always helpful [link]
Sycra - he is on every eveing right before Marius Bota - i miss him often because he streams around the time i finish work [link]
Marius Bota - more or less on every evening right after Sycra and he does not only great pictures he is also a very considering and smart persion - great to listen to [link]
Algenpfleger - he does not stream anymore but his old streams are still online and a source of awesomeness [link]
Leundra - german mistress of dragons. you have to love her pictures and she is nice to chat with [link]
Isra-Ac - a spanish fellow with a great humor and talent [link]
BrentHollowell - he does not live he only makes art - my guess is that he will be a really big name in the industry not too far from now [link]

I also watch the awesomehorses every saturday evening (times i mentioned are all for europe).
[link] this is a group of the artists and
giving crits and showing art and sometimes have great guests.

there is a great chance you met all of the named artists in one of the other chats sometimes - always fun.

there are a lot more great streams and also some artists on ustream but this is my main list. (but i am sure i forgot someone important - sorry)

I am always open for suggeestions which streams are also worth watching.
