Beautiful Watercolors

.

Welcome to the amazing BEAUTIFUL WATERCOLORS group!!! 😊 We can also be found on Facebook!! Join us for more posts and discussions! Here is the link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/beautifulwatercolors

This group is for watercolor artwork only; created by you from paint and water on your table and a brush in your hand. I will only accept beautiful, inspiring paintings...those which uplift the viewer. No dark or unpleasant.

RULES:
1. Family-friendly (no nudity, sexuality, violence, skulls, politics, etc)
2. No words or written messages on the artwork (unless part of the subject being painted)
3. No digital painting, digitally altered photographs. NOTHING digital. That includes no digital frames, digital removal of backgrounds or digital touchups. If I am in doubt, it will be removed.
4. The use of gouache, pen and ink, acrylic or other mediums within the watercolor painting MUST stay as just a highlight and is up to my discretion.
5. No abstract/patterns/shapes. Subject must be identifiable without a doubt.


WEEKLY SPOTLIGHT ARTIST ~ featured the week of 4-20-24 ~ Mark Benton is chosen again as the NEW Weekly Spotlight Artist!!! Since graduating from Kent State University with a BA in Fine and Professional Arts in 1996 he has created a handful of concepts for painting series. Manipulating children's art is one concept, and another is creating portraitures of some favorite actors and scenes from his favorite films. A third encompasses his love for rust and its elusive aesthetic. Mark’s current series involves the overlay of 2D patterns atop 3D realism while satisfying his love for animals and speaking for their integral role in our natural world. A BIG CONGRATULATIONS to him!!! To see more of his work, simply click on the below image and you will be directed to his page. Each week, another member will be chosen to SPOTLIGHT on our Homepage. Next week it could be YOU! 😊




HOMEPAGE SPECIAL FEATURE ARTIST ~ featured April 2024 ~ is Mary Giacomini!!!! Having been a professional artist for over 25 years, she has always loved to create. Mary earned a BFA in studio arts and has taken numerous classes and workshops over the years. Loving the outdoors, hiking and finding peaceful places, her artwork is inspired by places she’s been to and would like to return. Mary works in oil, pastel and watercolor and says, “I enjoy getting 'lost' when creating my art and recreating a scene I'd rather be in.” A BIG CONGRATULATIONS to her!!! To see more of her work simply click on the below image and you will be directed to her page. Here is her beautiful, FIRST PLACE win, 'Reflections of Breckenridge':
