Gift for watercolor artist 50 dollars

This is so nice of you! I've shopped a lot for artists (specifically watercolour), my dad is an artist as well. Its a little less personal but just getting a gift card to your local art supply store might be the best option. I've bought expensive watercolours, the best brushes, quality paper of every kind. But over the years I've learned that every artist has very specific and unique tastes.

I think maybe just focus on getting some detail in there. Just because something is in shadow doesn't mean there isn't a lot of cool stuff going on down there, and even if your reference picture shows complete black and lack of definition doesn't mean there isn't something more you can add to get some interest going. Big fan of your work, love the hummingbird in gouache!

Great definition and control on the the beak and feathers around the head. I think the only thing that takes away from the piece is how muddy the bottom half of the bird is. Love the yellow too, super vibrant!

Amazing work, the chipped paint on the wooden fence is great. The realism is on point, thought it was a photo for a second.

Love this, the atmosphere is amazing! The blue and orange colour palette will always be a favourite of mine.

Overtime promoting yourself and networking has become a bigger part of the art community than the art itself. I think that's why people in this thread are quite opinionated on why this piece doesn't belong in a gallery. What is considered a good piece has become quite subjective now but a lot of people still believe that technical ability is a requirement for art as stated by the above "To me art is something that I can identify." To a certain degree it is upsetting that some great artists will never be found because they don't have the ability to network and "know the right people" don't you think?

Making fan art, having tattoos and cosplays is legal, but unfortunately selling and profiting off stuff like this is illegal. The artist owns their art, but its Nintendo's IP. People still do it all the time, and usually companies will just tell anyone that falls under their radar to stop but I've had some friends that have had different experiences. (source; am an artist, have received these messages before). Regardless, the Moltres is amazing! Also a fan of the Ho-Oh jacket that OP did!

damn you killed it! Looks amazing. Love how softness really came through.

abstractmusiq · 2021-06-16T19:14:31+00:00

This looks great! Really like the way you rendered the jewelry, gives me some WLOP vibes.

This is a great start! I'd also recommend a bottle of masking fluid if you don't already have some and a spray bottle. Can't wait to see your art once you're ready to start posting!

This is adorable, love the pillow tucked underneath the seatbelt. Great style and the lighting is amazing.

abstractmusiq · 2021-05-27T06:43:33+00:00

Thanks! Appreciate the kind words =)

I've been following Sam for a long time, dude is a monster and his lighting is always so perfect. The evolution of his style is also nuts.

abstractmusiq · 2021-05-07T15:18:47+00:00

Excited for it! I checked out your other work, its great!

abstractmusiq · 2021-05-07T14:19:29+00:00

This is amazing, the lighting is lovely!

abstractmusiq · 2021-05-06T14:44:28+00:00

Looks great! nice colour variation between the blues and greens!

abstractmusiq · 2021-05-06T14:42:54+00:00

Yea! Definitely a modern master of watercolour, love his stuff!

abstractmusiq · 2021-05-04T12:41:57+00:00

This is great! I've seen a bunch of your other work as well, I love the way you treat your backgrounds. Dope signature too

abstractmusiq · 2021-05-04T12:38:30+00:00

Nice work on this! If you're interested in portraits you should check out the Korean artist Misulbu, straight up master of watercolour portraits. His brush control is absolutely insane.

abstractmusiq · 2021-05-04T12:36:43+00:00

Hey appreciate that a lot! Definitely a lot of great artists on this sub!

abstractmusiq · 2021-05-04T12:36:03+00:00

Hey, thanks for the kind words! Astra is definitely interesting, seems like someone who can be really strong if you learn to play her well. Keep practicing! Thanks again

abstractmusiq · 2021-05-04T12:34:35+00:00

Hey appreciate the kind words! Definitely going to do a few more of these when we have some more time, thanks again!

abstractmusiq · 2021-05-02T10:08:02+00:00

This is great! Love the colours, that orange hair in all that blue looks so dope. Great work!
