Any artists here?

[Jedi1199]

Hello everyone... I am starting this thread because of my friend... @CanuckReefer .

Art is something that is entirely dependent on the individual perspective. Our reef tanks are all individual and built on our own unique perspective on what we like. I suppose on a certain level we are ALL artists here, with our medium being that of water, rocks, and life.

One of my individual passions has been painting. That said, I have no real "artistic" ability to speak of. I am a very linear thinker, science, math, physics ect ect all make perfect sense to me. Music, visual art, designing, and other creative forms elude me completely.

For many years, I have watched "The Joy Of Painting" television series. I always thought that Bob Ross created a series that was meant for people like me! Teaching simple techniques that anyone can duplicate.

So with that said, here are some examples of my own artwork using a 2d medium...

When I was actively doing this I didn't consider it art. My opinion on that changed though.
I used a camera to freeze a scene, perspective, place and moment so it could be experienced by others.
You control what part of that is transmitted to the viewer in a forceful way by limiting what they do and dont see.

My artistic skills are -1 but I do get to enjoy my daughters work. She will be a sophomore in HS this year. She does most of her artist work when in school instead of doing homework or listening to the teacher!!!! I've asked her to draw something besides anime but she won't do it.

Here is some stuff she does on her ipad.



Pica-girl



This is her anime interpretation of Stan from South Park

And here is a pencil drawing

I'm a wildlife/marine artist :D

These are all acrylics but I work in most mediums.




Any WOW fans? This is my version of "Booty Bay" in acrylics




OH! I also got to include my love for marine life on the Derwent Inktense (water soluble ink) packaging I did for Derwent. I have another tin I painted for them with a sea turtle but I can't find the photos atm.

It’s not art if you’re not using a Fibonacci sequence

I can barely draw stickmen, lol.
My wife has been drawing since she was 4 years old.
Here are 2 oil paintings and a piece of here new project, welding art.

 

[Mike from TN]

I’ve done a little bit of oil painting following in Bob Ross’ s footsteps. Watched him every weekend for many many years.
My favorite one is “StormWatch”. The one with the cat looking out the window.

Those are amazing. I've always loved wood art. Was this all done with hand tools?
