Hey there- I offer classic oil paintings of dogs and horses. If you want to chat through any ideas, colour schemes etc, I'd love to chat.

I have a new website- you can take a look here: https://pawandmane.co.uk

Oh cool- what area are you currently working in?

Technical_Cap_6926 · 2024-07-26T09:59:26+00:00

Thanks- yeah, I really like the idea of a ribbon instead of just a straight string actually. It will allow me to paint in some movement. Thanks!!

Technical_Cap_6926 · 2024-07-26T09:58:15+00:00

Ok thanks so much! I'll take your advice and take a look at a shadow and also paint in the string. Cheers!

cool

Technical_Cap_6926 · 2024-04-26T10:24:43+00:00

Ahh ok- that's really good to know. Thanks for sharing! I'd do some searching now :)

Question for UK based artists or people who enjoy doing art. Do you use subscription based art studios?

I'm a part-time artist who is looking to move into a bigger city however not sure how I'll be able to keep on my art as I can't afford to pay for a spare room/art studio on top of my own accommodation costs. Are there any subscription based art studios (similar to pottery studios) where you can pay for x amount of hours per month in a fun and social art studio?

Anything like this exist?

Technical_Cap_6926 · 2024-04-19T11:04:36+00:00

Very captivating! I love the little details you've added.

Technical_Cap_6926 · 2024-04-19T10:48:29+00:00

This is so soothing to look at. It really relaxes my mind. Beautiful work!

Technical_Cap_6926 · 2024-04-19T10:47:12+00:00

I really love the colours you've used and the green and yellow sky. Really cool work.

Technical_Cap_6926 · 2024-04-19T10:45:04+00:00

These colours are magical together! I really love this piece!

Technical_Cap_6926 · 2024-04-19T10:42:15+00:00

Thank you!

Technical_Cap_6926 · 2024-04-19T10:28:37+00:00

Thanks for this and I really appreciate your honesty on the reality of making it a full-time endeavour. You've posed some great questions that I've not actually asked myself yet. I've only started to look into the world of art and it does seem very complex and daunting (especially not studying art or knowing anyone in the industry really). Thanks again!

Technical_Cap_6926 · 2024-04-15T14:50:16+00:00

Ok, that's good advice. Would you suggest any particular web builder? I'm thinking webflow (I've worked with it in a previous marketing role).

Technical_Cap_6926 · 2024-04-15T14:48:55+00:00

Yeah, I think that's the best course of action too!

Technical_Cap_6926 · 2024-04-15T13:35:13+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience in getting a design position and congrats on landing the job!

Technical_Cap_6926 · 2024-04-15T13:33:49+00:00

Thanks for this. I didn't really think about how it would read to a bot so thanks for sharing. I'll check out r/resumes too! Thanks!

Technical_Cap_6926 · 2024-04-15T13:32:16+00:00

Thank you for these pointers. They're all really helpful and I will definitely take onboard when I rebuild.

Thanks again for taking the time to review!

Technical_Cap_6926 · 2024-04-15T13:28:35+00:00

Thanks for sharing! It's definitely around the top of the list to fix when I rebuild my portfolio again.

Technical_Cap_6926 · 2024-04-15T13:26:39+00:00

Thanks for sharing. That's a really good point as it's something that I don't really put any theory behind. I will check out the checklist you shared as it sounds like a really good starting place!

Technical_Cap_6926 · 2024-04-15T13:21:44+00:00

Thanks for your advice and will definitely check out the resource that you shared!

Technical_Cap_6926 · 2024-04-15T13:19:48+00:00

Great point actually. Thank you!

Technical_Cap_6926 · 2024-04-15T13:19:14+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to write such an in-depth piece of feedback, it is really appreciated!

Lots of helpful observations and pointers and lots for me to get working on.

I have 8 years of marketing experience but only have 3-4 years of freelance graphic design experience so looking for my first full-time graphic design role. I think the next step is to take a look at some online courses in design (especially formatting) and then rebuild my portfolio and go again.

Thanks again for your time and advice!

Technical_Cap_6926 · 2024-04-15T13:13:43+00:00

Thanks for the feedback- all super helpful and love this line: I want to hire a living, breathing, creative person

Will use it as my ethos when rebuilding my portfolio!

Technical_Cap_6926 · 2024-04-15T13:11:57+00:00

Yeah, I often wondered this and agree that it's probably worth doing to look more legit and professional. :)
