“I did this three years ago. It was my first painting. I didn’t know about toning a canvas or mixing paint. I did use left over paints from a paint-by-number, but most came straight from the tube. No atmospheric perspective. It hangs proudly on the wall in my studio and reminds me of my journey. Thanks to Shelby, I’ve come a long way.” – Nancy

Participating in Online Art Communities
Sharing and Feedback
The art journey is more than just creating; it’s about sharing, growing, and connecting. That’s where our fabulous free Facebook Group, “Learn, Paint, Grow,” comes into play. It’s a vibrant space where artists like you can share your masterpieces, exchange feedback, and absorb inspiration. Imagine posting your latest painting and getting kudos and constructive tips from peers who genuinely care.
For those craving an even deeper connection, we have The Creative Circle, our exclusive paid membership. This isn’t just a group; it’s a family of artists forming lifelong friendships, supporting each other both online and in-person. Here, bonds go beyond the screen, blossoming into real-world connections. You could potentially be collaborating on a project with someone who was once a ‘comment’ on your post!
So, whether it’s a virtual high-five in Learn, Paint, Grow or a collaborative masterpiece in The Creative Circle, your artistic journey is amplified by the community you’re part of.
How to share your artwork and receive feedback
One of the most valuable features of our premium VIP membership, The Creative Circle, is the monthly group critiques. These sessions are like goldmines for any aspiring artist. You, along with a group of passionate artists, gather (virtually, of course) to share, dissect, and enhance each other’s artwork. It’s not just about receiving constructive feedback on your own piece; it’s a learning journey where you gain insights from the critiques of others’ works as well. These critiques are more than just evaluations – they are lively discussions, rich with diverse perspectives, tips, and artistic wisdom. It’s a nurturing environment where friendships are formed, and your art flourishes in a community of supportive peers.
Collaboration and Growth
When it comes to art, collaboration is a secret ingredient for growth and innovation. Working alongside fellow artists can lead to new knowledge, techniques, and perspectives that you might not have discovered on your own. It’s like mixing different colors on your palette – sometimes, the results are unexpectedly wonderful!
In our online art communities, collaboration is celebrated. We believe in ‘community over competition’. This ethos is the backbone of our groups, where artists come together, not just to showcase their own work, but to share, inspire, and uplift each other. It’s a symbiotic relationship where everyone grows together.
When you collaborate, you’re not just combining skills; you’re creating a space for mutual learning and respect. It can be as simple as working on a joint project or as deep as co-creating a piece of art. Each interaction is a learning moment, providing a fresh perspective that could be the key to unlocking new artistic possibilities.
Moreover, these collaborative experiences build a sense of camaraderie and belonging. They remind us that while art can be a personal journey, it’s also a shared experience – one that’s enriched by the diverse voices and visions of our community. So, whether you’re a beginner seeking guidance or an experienced artist looking to explore new avenues, remember that growth often happens when we open ourselves to the influence and inspiration of others.
