Our alphabetical list of Uncommon Materials to draw or paint with. We hope you can help us extend this list!

This group is about PAINTING OR DRAWING WITH UNCOMMON MATERIALS, instead of or in combination with traditional materials. Surprise us!
We look for quality, unconventional images and encourage you to start discussions on contemporary art, especially about:
- experimenting with uncommon materials to paint or draw with
- what these uncommon materials are meant to express, their symbolism, their meaning
- the lifecycle and conservation of these materials on the support (deterioration, changes…)
We especially appreciate you taking the time to explain in our group forum, in your journals or in your artwork’s description more about your uncommon materials: your experimentations and your know-how. Does your material make a statement? Does this particular material has to do something with your personal story or daily habits? Does it symbolize something for you? If you use organic materials, what were your experiences with the evolution of the material in time (colour changes for instance)? Any explanations which you might be able to provide are very welcome, but not obligatory.
You are also more than welcome to submit journals where you discuss your materials, experimentations and works in progress!

 | I think that a lot of people don’t give art a go because a lot of the materials can be quite expensive. I love the idea of using simple materials because you really have nothing to loose, yet you may just gain a wonderful artwork. I often find that with expensive materials, people are often less inclined to just experiment for the fun of it because they don’t want to waste their art supplies. Dianne Ilka |
