This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨

Please visit https://lemmy.world/c/artmarket as well! This is a community for artists to post their portfolios and announce availability to take commissions, as well as get visibility for Ko-fi, Patreon, and other funding for art activities.

Rules

AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).

NSFW Policy: Nudity and suggestive content has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity or suggestive content, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity or suggestive content that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude or suggestive subject matter. If you aren't sure if your work is NSFW or not, just ask yourself, "Could I look at this at a typical office job and not get into trouble?" If you're still not sure after that, you should probably mark it as NSFW just to be on the safe side.

Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.

Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

Acrylic on wood.

Not ready to share the whole painting. I added these lemons because the composition needed something to balance it and i was really happy with how they were coming out.

Last night, 2 am on my way to the bathroom, I glance at it in the dark and realize these lemons are life-sized - while the rest of the painting is double that. And they're in the foreground. So now I have to repaint them.

Some lemons can be tiny! These can totally be adorable tiny little lemons. They turned out really well and I bet the finished painting looks awesome!

Thank you. You guys are making me take a harder look at the painting, and I see now that the scale on my tea cup is off and needs to be smaller. Since it's still very unfinished, I can fix that way easier and hopefully leave the lemons alone.

Small lemon varieties exist! You don't have to paint over them, you can drop facts on anyone who asks about it lol

Well, when life gives you lil lemons.

You don't make lil lemonade. You make life regret the day it ever gave you lemons, by having your engineers create lil combustible lemons, then using them to burn life's house down!

I like it. I can't paint. Scultp, draw, whatever sure. But paint eludes my control.

And it's on wood? Very cool

When life gives you lemons paint them.
