Self portrait
Hello everyone! I hope you're all finding a way to be creative today! I started this last night (and stayed up way too late working on it) and it's the first self portrait that I've ever made. It's not finished but I am very happy with it so far. If anyone has made one of themselves, whether realism or abstract, please post below. I would love to see them. If you've never made one, give it a try! Who knows you better than you?

@Gina DeMarco thanks for the kind words and advice. I am hopeful that with time and practice I will get better. I only started painting and drawing in September 2025 again. Didn't do anything in 40 years.

Art Museums and Contemporary artists
Hey there! In two weeks I will be on my way to London to visit some art Museums. So I was wondering in general: which inspiring art museums or galeries did you visit and are there any contemporary artists that inspire you (known and unknown)? Have a creative day!

My favourite art gallery was the Musée d'Orsay in Paris. Even the building is part of the art. I like Magritte and Cézanne. But also find Gerhard Richter inspiring, because he has such stylistic range.

Challenge! Show Up & Create
Most artists don’t fail because of talent. They disappear. So let’s fix that. New challenge: Show Up & Create → 3x per week→ for 30 days→ post whatever you made (finished or messy) Rules: - No perfection - No overthinking - Just proof you showed up - Miss a day? Don’t quit. Just continue. This is about becoming someone who creates. Not someone who waits. I’m in too. Who’s joining?

What’s your toxic art trait? 😝
Your ride-or-die art material? The material you keep buying… and can’t stop using. And one or more tip we all need to steal from you

@Emma Andrews A Border Terrier!!!!! Beautiful. My drawings are never that alive. I had a BT, Yogi, for 16 years, he passed away in January. I draw and paint him a lot.

@Emma Andrews I love drawing dogs too, and I agree that the eyes are essential to capture the personality. I like to draw them but I find it daunting as well. I painted my Border Terrier Yogi in Acrylic and drew him in pencil. I don't like drawing people so much.
