Why a tutorial? --> to avoid tears and frustration

Good Tutorials for traditional art --> [link]



Group-Rules:

MEMBERSHIPREQUEST:
- lookting at the statistics, you will most probably be declined, so please WATCH us if you like the group! Reason: The more members with other artforms, the more nonrelevant submissions we get, and that takes away the time to finde and appriciate amazing artworks that suit into the group.

that means: for becoming a MEMBER you must have at least some works (2-3) that would be accepted to the group -->

SUBMISSION STANDARTS:

- CATEGORY: must fit in one or more categories

- MEDIA: must be made with traditional media
--> must not be: fanart (but we DO accept popart-portraits of famous people to the popart folder), replication, skech, illustration, collage, artisan-craft, digital art, photography, literatur (some of those are added to our faves)

- QUALITY OF ART: must have an overall high standart also in comparison to the rest of your own gallery (impact, idea, composition, painting-technique, colour-choice,... ) many of these standarts of course depend on the genre. an expressionistic artwork deserves different standarts than a naturalistic one. we know that there are artist that are so great, that every line they draw is pure genious. so if you're someone like that, please be aware that we are more critical with your submissions.

- QUALITY OF UPLOAD:
- image must be: cropped, sharp, good contrast/saturation, nice in size!
- no too obvious watermark! (watermarks are ok, but they should be subtle)


- SIMILARITY: we want variety and present a good range of your art, so we do not accept similar artworks of yours or we take our right to delete the older one in case we prefere your newer work. if somebody loves your art he/she will go to your gallery to look at the rest of your series.


BEGINNERS/ NON-TRADITIONAL-ARTISTS /FANARTISTS/ WANNABEs/ LURKERS/ and all the other wonderfull art apriciators without submissions out there --> if you like the group and do not paint/draw (or just started) what suits into the galleries, we invite you to WATCH US!! as a watcher you can see all the artwork submitted to the galleries and also attend the contests we hold . We see you as a wonderful part of this group and appriciate you being here .


SUBMISSION PROCESS:

- 1 deviation per WEEK is accepted (chose wisely)
- your submissions need 3 votes to pass
- you are invited to ask for decline-reasons, but be aware that we are honest.

All the best, Minzile
