Comment on other members' artwork
It's good to share...
One of the best things about being part of an online community is seeing what other people are creating, and sharing your artwork for other members to see.
You can look at the most recent uploads from other members on the homepage or in the Community Hub.
On every Tutorial, Course and Practice Pic page, you can also see other members' uploads of their work. You can also see members' solo projects in the Indy Artwork Gallery.
To help you get the most out of your Nature Studio experience, we encourage you to regularly look at work other members have shared, leave supportive comments, and share your own artwork.
You can also request feedback on your artwork if you'd like it.
How to comment on other members' artwork:
If a person has specifically requested feedback on their work, you'll see a green flag in the top right corner when it displays in any gallery.
To see the artwork at a larger size and leave a comment, simply click on the photo, and a box will pop up.
If you'd like to leave a comment, click into the box where it ways 'Type here to join in the conversation...', write your message and hit ' comment'.
If you'd like to leave a comment but are not sure what to write, look for the thing you like best about the picture or certain elements within it - maybe the realism, colours, textures, background, details, eyes, petals, leaves, shadow etc.
When somebody has requested constructive feedback, it can really help your artistic eye to try to answer their questions / offer your feedback. You don't need to be an advanced artist to do this. There will always be people less far along their journey than you, who would really value hearing from you.
For help with how to give feedback, check out this Help Centre Article on How to Appraise a Painting.
Note in January 2023: Until recently, we had a page of the website called the Appraise Page where members could find pictures where feedback had been requested. This page has now been superseded by the green flag system so that paintings requesting appraise can be easily identified wherever they appear in the website.
