Art is a HUMAN thing. Art isn't artificial or created by programs.
Seek out PEOPLE artists that use their minds to create art. And then share our work! We REALLY appreciate it!
Any model makers or painters of small things have any recommendations for a way to hold objects while painting?
I'm having a problem where I hold it with my fingers but then I either get paint where I don't want it or thumb/finger prints in the wet paint.
5/ #Instagram: A little side note about Instagram. I got into Instagram because one of my children was posting in there, and their feed was mostly about art. So I decided to make Instagram all about art.
So Instagram for me is one long feed of visual pleasure. Sometimes once I’ve gotten to know an artist, I treat myself with buying some of their work because I feel that connected. And I share the cute animals with my kids.
Instagram is more clever about serving me ads than other sites, so I do admit that sometimes they hit the nail on the head. For instance, they cottoned onto how much I’m into rainbows, and I got many many ads with products I loved featuring the spectrum. Got some great sneakers! So Instagram is better at selling to me personally, and I don’t mind it that much. It feels like they care. And I’m often supporting small businesses, which I feel okay about. (Although you always have to be mindful of scams.)
This afternoon, I've been reading a biography of Jacob Kramer, a contemporary of Mark Gertler, CRW Nevinson et al at The Slade in the early C20th, and came across this amazing portrait (self-evidently influenced by Kramer's 'hero' Van Gogh).
