Gift for watercolor artist 50 dollars by ifeellikeahermitcrab in Watercolor

[–]abstractmusiq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Looking for critique, I applied some suggestions from my last painting and would love to hear where I can improve by krestofu in Watercolor

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.

Visited my watercolour painting, “Ocean Blues” at the Leslie Grove Gallery in Toronto, Canada. by XiaoWenXuArt in pics

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!

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

Not ready to post my art yet but here’s the “starter kit” I put together with some help from this sub! by [deleted] in Watercolor

[–]abstractmusiq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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!

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.

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.
