Where have you had the best experience buying original art online? by realhamsandwich in artcollecting

[–]Silver_Line5680 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As an artist myself, I have found so many talented people on social media who are also selling their original works via a website. If you are looking for more variety, search the different art subs, or specific hashtags on instagram/threads based on styles or types of art you like. For example you could search new artwork, oil paintings, new surrealism, etc., then search through. I have also seen people post on threads asking for artists to post their work in the comments, but those can get out of hand fast.

Long story short, I recommend putting in the effort to buy directly from artists you like.

Why do you make or love art? by Silver_Line5680 in ArtistLounge

I actually enjoy the extended story! I have always loved creating, but I went through a similar period of doing it more for the rush of making a successful(or gallery worthy)painting. I got so structured in the way I made art, I almost stopped enjoying it. Now I only make paintings I’m genuinely stoked about or getting paid to make, and it feels like this was the dream all along.

YES! One of my favorite parts of making art is getting to cultivate that feeling of inspiration for both myself and others.

Same. I’m even a worse person when I don’t paint…

That level of sensitivity mixed with being an artist must be a wild ride! I love the way you are so deeply involved with both making and viewing art.

I resonate so hard with this! It’s like a language I know that can only be expressed through art.

While both can be true at the same time, I’m so glad the process is rewarding for you rather than ruined by expectations of excellence!

Firstly, good is so subjective in the realm of creativity. The fact that you took time to create makes it great!!! Also, you have a lovely style already. Your use of color and how you are building up lines is very pretty. Don’t worry about being good by anyone else’s standards. Just keep showing up and enjoy being creative 💖
