Art thread?

[Natasha Tori Maru]

Curious as I couldn't find anything 

Is there a creative art thread? 

I do a lot of sketching, oil on canvas etc

I was traditionally trained so my vision & subject matter reflects that 

Happy to post some stuff as I don't care what others think 😀

There isn't one atm. I also paint, mostly acrylics on hardboard (duralit). I am not traditionally trained so my vision & subject also reflects that

 If you want we can follow each other on Instagram and check out  eachothers art, or we can just post it right down here!

Well, it seems I am running into a file size limit cap.

I will attempt to upload more later.

The above is oil on canvas.

I grew up in Australia so lots of Aussie flora/fauna

@Yimpa

Thank you Yimpa, I am glad 

I attempted your fix linked above.

I fumbled around removing the BB code, was unsuccessful 

I will try again later when I am not at work (bad Natasha!)

I suppose the file limit is due to forum bandwidth/hosting capacity

Lovely movement in the trees - you have captured the flickering light of the flame so well!

Acrylic on board is the medium?

Nope there is not. I thought many times there should be one and even a whole Creative/artistic subforum. It would be so cool

[Xonas Pitfall]

@Davino Please yes! I'd be so curious about that  Thank you <3

Oh poop - I should probably post there.

However, due to the nature of the forums capacity regarding images in one thread, it might make more sense to have a proper subforum as per @Davino's suggestion

Wow, really beautiful. 
how did you learn to draw like this? What do you recommend for newbies? 
I love drawing mandalas but I want to expolore drawing other things.

I wholeheartedly agree. That thread was popular for quite a while and brought people together. Maybe there's enough interest to sustain a subforum, although you'd have to have stipulations about AI art I reckon, but I don't know. I love your painting by the way, it has a crisp and dynamic quality like the plants are jostling with each other for attention.

Does this involve music also?
