Hello from Canada eh...

[mbeckett]

Calgary, Alberta to be exact. i am another refuge from WC. i was a long time member, but really didn't like the new format, so i haven't been very active there since the conversion.

anyway, enough history. i like drawing and painting. love my fountain pen lately. i don't see an ink forum so i suppose that ink work belongs in Drawing? i also like charcoal, pastel and conte pencils. i also use watercolor. art cards have been my thing the last couple of years, although i haven't made any lately.

looking forward to exploring here and meeting y'all!

Welcome. NS to be exact. Put it where you feel it belongs, it's art and that's the way I do it.

Welcome to the site!
I agree with Enyaw to just put it where you feel is right for now. An ink forum would be a good addition.
We also have forums based on subject matter (landscapes,figure, still life, abstract, ex.) if you feel more comfortable posting in those.

Hi there mbeckett. Welcome to the forums. We have started as a small operation. Maybe I can add more forums as we grow. For now, post your work anywhere you see fit. I am about to add a Life Drawing/Painting forum today (I think). I can always add more as the demand comes along. Looking forward to seeing your work and getting to know you.

Hey mbeckett— I’ve always wanted to play to make art cards and never have! If there isn’t some kind of regular challenge or prompt for art cards, maybe one could be started here?

 

[Maybenartist]

I like your work.

 

[Joan T]

I remember you from over on WC. Good to see you here.

that could be fun! i'm not sure what forum that would fit under. maybe we need an "Other" forum lol

Hi from Quebec! Have been thinking of making art cards. Would love to learn about that.

hi desforges! not much to art cards. the only rule to be an official ATC (Artist Trading Card - made to be traded) or ACEO (Art Card - Edition or Original - made to be sold) is the size is 2.5 x 3.5".

Know nothing about that, you exchange cards with original work?
I was thinking more of printing some of my work on cards.
Can you show an example?

i sold all these as originals on ebay. this is as diverse a set of cards as i could muster. i haven't had any luck selling prints but other artists have. if you search ebay for "aceo" you'll find a lot of the ways artists can make art cards.

 

[Artyczar]

I can make an Art Cards Forum. Why not???

 

[16ga]

Those look great. Especially at that size.
I bought some canvas paper in that size and thought about making some but never did. Some of my works already as small as 3”x5”.

PS. There’s an ink forum too now.

Hi Mike - good to see you!

I took a photo of ducklings that look similar to your painting, you can paint it if you like. Nice work.
