Felix BTW: Felix: Due to the serious interest of member @LJMpaintings to learn the ink and wash technique, I have started to share watercolors again.

I also have gone back to watercolors to dabble again I still like my oils but it's a nice change of pace
wybnormal To me it is no go back to watercolors, I love them more as any other medium. 3 out of 4 from my paintings are done with watercolors.
Oils work the way I think.. always changing my mind But I love the look and textures of watercolors.
When we post a painting there is these two tick marks if one wants feedback or not. I was thinking that may be by default option we need to highlight one in red and select do not want feedback. And one in green welcoming for feedback. May be color of the name to adjust when in a view mode depending on a selected tick mark red/green. Maybe red is too aggressive. So let’s say blue/gray. But green one for feedback and criticism.
@Tom- I agree with you. I suffer because of English sometimes when I want to explain something about how to improve certain thing in a painting. But my main concern that I cannot comment much about media I do not use or have little experience with. Please don’t be offended by this. I think you raised a great discussion here. Next step would be to try to digest that criticism and accept people spend time on sharing feedback about painting and see what one will want to do with that info.
For me , I am not a professional artist, so I don't feel that I should give advise. Giving criticism without the help to fix, doesn't seem helpful. Maybe I am wrong in thinking this?
I can and have given tips that have been shared with me. But I don't think this is the same idea.
I remember once that @Sunnylady asked for help from community about how our eyes wandered on her painting and I enjoyed seeing everyones response. And I think (I hope) we helped her.
Sunnylady you could never offend me, I got so much information from you all the time and I remember some great discussions we had.
LJMpaintings I think almost all of us aren‘t professionell artists, in fact I know only Nil Rocha. Maybe advice isn’t the correct word, sometimes I just would be glad about several hints.
LJMpaintings I agree with ya. The more I think about this I also think it's up to the individual artist who uploads to ask for help/criticism. What I mean by that is in the piece's description saying something along the lines of, "the sky turned out ok but I'm not happy with my clouds. If anyone has any advice I'd appreciate it." Then the rest of us know that person is actively looking for help.
Mgiese84 everything you say is true. On the other hand there is already an option to let others know that you wish feedback. Everytime you upload a painting you can choose between two options. Maybe this is overlooked often but in every painting I have seen yet I can read: „This painter appreciates constructive criticism and tips.“…
Tom0779 thank you Tom! You are so kind!
