New Group: Realist Paintings About Water

Realist Paintings About Water

From myself and James, we are happy to announce our new group for artists who love to paint water. We hope to see your lovely paintings of that element none of us can live without!! A celebration of Water, in all its wondrous glory.

Please see our new group, read our flowing guidelines and flood our group with gushes of paintings! Trickles and dribbles also welcome.

Water, the Hub of Life.
Water is its mater and matrix, mother and medium.
Water is the most extraordinary substance!
Practically all its properties are anomolous, which enabled life to use it as building
material for its machinery.
Life is water dancing to the tune of solids.
– Albert Szent-Gyorgyi (1972)

Your Hosts:
Avril and James

    Thank you Taschja… painting water is really fun!! I hope the group inspired people who have never painted before to start!!! Maybe we should think about a challenge soon for absolute beginners (as long as it is not abstract, it will be fine)

    Well if it didn’t take me two hours to get off of page four on my comments page list in the morning, I start at the back and work my way forward, I might have time to get started.

    Great idea for a group. I’ve added it to our list of painting groups we’re compiling at Painters in Modern Times.
