    interesting collection, but do you realize that the work shown by “piker77″ is a DIGITAL WATERCOLOR? That is to say, no paints or brushes were harmed in the creation of his piece. Only a mouse.
    While it is quite an artistic and attractive work, let’s just not be misled.

    HAHAHAHAHAA!! omg I love it when so many assholes all gather in one place to spread their asshole ways and feed off of each other’s assholeism. Good one, guys!

    THAT BEING SAID, I love the work here. I don’t need to go into the subjectivity of art or the cliches that some people are seeing… every piece here made me smile or think. If you think differently and have something mean to say about this work, go post it on the pretentious blogs I’m sure you have. This work was great.

    Definitely imagine that which you said. Your favourite reason seemed to be at the internet the easiest thing to remember of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed while people think about issues that they plainly do not understand about. You controlled to hit the nail upon the highest as well as outlined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people could take a signal. Will likely be again to get more. Thanks

    I think that the negative people should consider how the artists feel- they got to express themselves in a productive way. Also, watercolor paintings don’t purely rely on talent- I have seen gallery art that is just a bunch of easy brush strokes! And if you are going to say Smashing is dumb for updating their page after negative comments, think about it- if a bunch of people posted negative comments about some blog you made with pictures you thought were interesting and beautiful, wouldn’t you add some different types of pictures to try to satisfy them? I mean, nobody would just say “Suck it up, live with it” and leave it. You would update it so that future viewers might enjoy it more!!! So please- before you say that these are super crappy or say Smashing is stupid for trying to make viewers happy, just USE YOUR BRAIN a little bit more. I don’t mean to be rude, just helpful.

    And have been looking for an outlet to showcase my work.
    Can I post some of my work through you column?
    Please let me know asap.
    I am really looking forward to it.

    PS: I had fine arts as my subject and have done a 4 year course, so my paintings are not too immature and childish, being modest.

    I think the work was beautiful, some cliche but well done, some creative, moody, that’s what art is. No one said it was the Louvre, its a collection of “50 beautiful Watercolors” not 50 of the best in the world ever or anything, so I think all the negative folks should calm their bit. People are just sharing their work, those “critics” should be constructive, what techniques could be worked on, what perspectives should be changed? Don’t just complain, show us your work, show us what your creativity can create. Also, if you don’t like it so much why do some keep coming back to the board? Go back to your art book and scanner. Great work folks regardless of your art training or lack thereof, regardless of your mediums.

    Includes some very nice work. I would guess that the very negative comments come from jealous artists or would-be artists who can’t do as well themselves. Luke’s critique that this is so 19th century just shows his ignorance. I suppose he would say the same about Norman Rockwell. Or how about the Beatles, using all those ancient chords? They aren’t creative at all, are they Luke? I suppose you think atonal music is better? Hey Brannan “dude”, are you “for real”? For sure? My dog could make a more intelligent comment than you have. Artbizman, don’t worry, no one cares about your critique so you won’t discourage anyone. Who cares what you say? Certainly not an artist. It would be interesting to see the work of some of the negative critics, such as artbizman, so we can all judge how their work compares to the work they so arrogantly criticize. Talk is cheap. Anyone can claim to be an expert or a critic. The proof is in the artwork. So let’s see some links to your artwork, artbizman, and be sure to provide some space for feedback so we can critique your stuff. Frankly, the only thing that matters in the real world is how the art sells. I always laugh at critics who sneer at work by successful artists like McNight or Kinkade. It’s probably just jealousy that people prefer their art over the poor critic’s art. Grow up.

    I’m glad you have good sense. The other posts on this thing were getting under my skin. How can artists be so critical of each other? I thought the point of art was to do whatever you felt like doing, expressing what is inside of you? I guess some people just aren’t as open as they make themselves out to be?
