Let me explain… How to choose palette colors But I came up with this list as a result of hours of research. And I’ll tell you how you can get by with less colors if you want. Now… you don’t have to get as many colors to get started. This sub is not for requesting and receiving free art, but for sharing art.ħ) Mark art including any nudity as NSFW! While nude art is allowed, it is also important to mark it as NSFW so that those that are here to appreciate it can not only choose whether or not they want to see it, but also filter them out at work or in any other sensitive situation.Pigment numbers begin with “P” for pigment, then another letter to denote each color.įor example, PY means pigment = yellow.

Basically, don't be a jerk.Ħ) Do not make requests to artists to paint things for you If you want something commissioned, private message an artist to see if they do commissions and what their rates are. Leave your sarcasm and holier-than-thou attitude at the door. If your personal website or the source for your submission is too spammy please consider finding a different source or submitting it through Imgur, a text post, etc.ĥ) If you want to critique an artist's work Do so in a constructive, specific, and kind way.

They may add content and can lead to better discussion. Good alternatives would be websites like Imgur, deviant art, blogs, or personal websites. Spammy webpages in this context are webpages that exist for the sole purpose of selling the artwork and have a big 'buy this' button. Just don’t post for the sake of advertising that it’s for sale.Ĥ) Please do not submit spammy webpages. If someone asks if a piece is for sale in the comments, that’s fantastic. r/artstore or /r/ArtisanGifts is perfect for that. It is also extra nice to provide a link in the comments to their website.ģ) Do not use this sub for self-promotion or selling pieces. We would love to be inspired by other watercolorists on the web, as long as we know it’s not you. It is not okay to ambiguously present other people’s work as your own. Most submissions are OC, so if it is NOT original content, please put “Artist: (the artists name)” in the title. Not digital only!Ģ) You must differentiate what is not original content. Mixed media is welcome, as long as watercolor (or gouache) is also used.

This means original paintings, questions about works in progress, questions about paper or brushes, other artists etc. If you're new to watercolor painting, here is a post that may answer some of your questionsġ) Posts must be related to watercolor (or gouache) in some way. Post resources such as tutorials, ask questions, learn about and the art of watercolor! Submit your current paintings, give and receive critiques. Submit your watercolor painting of a letter for our sub header HERE!
