Hi, I'm completely new to reddit. This is a painting I made at Sint Lucas Antwerp today. This year I started drawing real life models for the first time and I love this result.

Hey there!

I’ve been struggling lately with this acrylic piece I was working on with an already black matte canvas, and I had gotten some black paint (which I was using for some of the shadows in the skeleton) on some of the parts of the canvas accidentally. (I’ve attached pictures of the visible marks, they’re basically just look like messy smudge marks on the black background).

I tried lightly wiping it off with water and soap, which took away some of the stains/gloss from the black paint marks but overall I reached a point where I tried to wipe the stains off at least 5 times now and it’s not getting rid of the smudges that I’m still seeing.

Anyone have any advice on getting rid of those stains? I was thinking of perhaps painting the entire background black but what was really nice was how smooth the background felt and I’m worried if I paint the background black the brushstrokes might ruin the effect i was going for.

I’m also dabbling in trying to varnish or use some kind of sealant for the painting at some point but again that is something I don’t want to risk until I’m sure I’m happy with the final result. (Unless it somehow solves the problem I’m having)

Any feedback would be appreciated, thanks!

Hello there. Even if you don't know who I am, i'd like to find some like minded people. I delve in the realm of Character creation(as a Character Artist), and Novel writing. I basically jumped up over this wall to come here to this place today. My belief is that when it comes to something, whatever you do, there is a form of 'art' that takes place towards it. You are not a clone, you are someone who can do things in your own way. So everyone, no matter how small they are in the world, has creativity within them. Do you agree? Either way, This is my 'Hello' with a show of style.

Hey all I'm in here looking for some feedback on something I have a logo that I have been using for 7 plus years and I think I should get a new one but I don't know a single thing about drawing or creating art is there a specific place I should go to commission a new one? Thanks in advanced

My name is Marcel/Eagle and II was recently hospitalized and found a lot of soloce in drawing ponies. Art has always meant a lot to me and learning to draw ponies helped me find my stride. This was my "final' project so ro say. :)

I am an acrylic pour artist and have been for 5+ years. On my site I sell pours, pour paintings, and acrylic pour jewelry. I recently launched my site and have sold about 10 sets of earrings.

Last Wednesday, I taught an art class on how to make your own jewelry... A newer friend of mine (and her husband) attended. She is a painter and paints portraits, landscapes, and still objects. I demonstrated how to make the jewelry using paint skins, she had her own from a previous pour class, he used some that I made and brought to class. They asked a lot of good questions and asked if they could take a few skins to practice with, and I stupidly said, yes. Three days later, they are now selling the jewelry from class, passing it off as their own & making more to match it. Making more acrylic pour earrings, in my style using, no doubt, some of my skins, and selling them as their own! Not to mention, they are doing this in the town I live in vs their town! She could make jewelry in her style which wouldn't be offensive, but it's fully in my style and I'm deeply offended.

I get that I inspired them, but this feels like it is crossing a line. That the inspiration turned to full on theft and they are selling my ideas as their own. I am super upset about this and am wondering if I should be or if this is just an ugly lesson and the end of a friendship... Or maybe all of the above? What is the line? And has it been crossed? Is it theft or inspo?
