Hi there! 😊 As an artist with a small Instagram account, I’ve found it really lovely to have a group of supportive and engaging followers. I’ve even noticed that strangers, mostly other artists, sometimes cheer louder than friends and family 🤪 Personally, my goal right now isn’t to grow a huge following (my profile has actually been private for a while), but I do really enjoy meaningful engagement and supporting others as well 😊 That’s why I’d love to invite you to drop your Instagram (name or link) below so we can follow each other, engage, and support one another 😊🙌 Mine is https://www.instagram.com/lizaglorius.art?igsh=MW5qZWk4eG1xNDlxNA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr

Drop your work, get honest feedback from the community (Be kind ;)

I’m going to work on my new painting prompt. You can find it in the Classroom: Painting with the Masters MASTER: EGON SCHIELE Schiele is such an interesting artist to study — his expressive lines, unusual poses, bold compositions and raw, emotional way of painting are so inspiring. You don’t have to copy his work at all. Take whatever speaks to you and make it your own! If you’re inspired by Egon Schiele too, post your work below. I’d LOVE to see what you create! ❤️ @Rachel Bk @Phill Hatton @Sabine Devlin @Ann Lyon — I think you guys might especially love this one, because I can really see a connection with your work. 👀🎨 or in your case Ann, in the art you love. Can’t wait to create together! ❤️
