This means original paintings, questions about works in progress, questions about paper or brushes, other artists etc. Anything related. Mixed media is welcome, as long as watercolor (or gouache) is also used. Not digital only!
Most submissions are OC, so if it is NOT original content, please put “Artist: (the artists name)” in the title. It is not okay to ambiguously present other people’s work as your own. We would love to be inspired by other watercolorists on the web, as long as we know it’s not you. It is also extra nice to provide a link in the comments to their website.
r/artstore or r/ArtisanGifts is perfect for that. If someone asks if a piece is for sale in the comments, that’s fantastic. Just don’t post for the sake of advertising that it’s for sale.
Spammy webpages in this context are webpages that exist for the sole purpose of selling the artwork and have a big "buy this" button. For example Etsy accounts. Good alternatives would be websites like Imgur, deviant art, blogs, or personal websites. They may add content and can lead to better discussion. If your personal website or the source for your submission is too spammy please consider finding a different source or submitting it through Imgur, a text post, etc.
If you want to critique an artist's work Do so in a constructive, specific, and kind way. Artists of all skill-levels are welcome. Leave your sarcasm and holier-than-thou attitude at the door. Basically, don't be a jerk.
Do not make requests to artists to paint things for you. If you want something commissioned, private message an artist to see if they do commissions and what their rates are. This sub is not for requesting and receiving free art, but for sharing art.
While nude art is allowed, it is also important to mark it as NSFW so that those that are here to appreciate it can not only choose whether or not they want to see it, but also filter them out at work or in any other sensitive situation.
