Water Works - Event Discussion

Thanks for putting us out of our comfort zones. I was thinking I’d try to paint a swimming pool, but I decided to be even more brave and just ordered a watercolor starter set off Amazon.

Nice idea for an event! I recently painted a whole bunch of seascapes so I'm kind of tapped in terms of water paintings. I'm wondering if any of these would be acceptable? If not, I think I will respectfully pass up this event. I'm really looking forward to seeing the creative creations, though!

lightsnow May be still life with water fountain and water lily?

Felix

lightsnow I've decided to restrict the submission of seascapes like the ones you have submitted lately.

Of course, this doesn't mean that paintings like these are not "good" or "interesting" enough. They simply are part of the standard collection of Bob Ross landscape paintings and I really want submissions to the events to be paintings that push our members and get them to try something new.

Felix That makes sense, I completely understand. I think it's a great idea and I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with!

Voy Kay

if you create a water scene in watercolours, does that give double votes?!

😆 🤣

Felix

@Voy Kay#559 Only one way to find out!

Sunnylady

Felix Felix, how many votes do we have?

Winterknight

@Felix you asked if I wanted to add my Anatomy of a Wave painting I just uploaded to the water event. Sure, why not!

Felix

Winterknight oh sorry, I missed that it was a Bob Ross recreating. Sadly only originals are submitable to the events.
But if you'd like to paint another wave without following along with Bob you're good to go and submit that one!

@Felix I went ahead and deleted the duplicate. You can add the first one 🙂 Thanks

Felix

Sunnylady Do you mean how often you can vote? As often as you like! 🙂

Sunnylady

Felix thank you. Exactly what I meant.

Felix

Everyone did such a wonderful job with their submissions! I am so glad we can vote as much as we want. Every person deserves to win!

Lilikins

Who ended up getting the top entries? Congrats to whoever won!

Felix

Lilikins oh whoops, thanks for reminding me! I'll finish it up today after work

Felix

A few days too late (pardon the delay 🙂) we've finished our "Water Works" event!

We've had 20 great submissions and quite a few members left their comfort zone and tried something new. Well done everybody!

Congrats to Madam Mouton, Evarawks and Wayne Coley Art on the top three most voted submissions!
It looks like the community loves stormy seas and stormy weather.
While I won't disclose the exact amount of votes I can say that it was an extremely close affair 😉

Sunnylady

Congratulations to the winners! Well done!
