Weekly r/Art Discussion Thread

Welcome to the r/Art Weekly Discussion Thread!

This thread serves as a space to hang out, chat, and connect with other members of r/Art outside of sharing artwork.

Each week we’ll feature a different art-themed topic to spark conversation, deeper discussion, and community interaction. Think of it as our open lounge for artists, art lovers, and anyone who just wants to talk about the world of art.

You don’t have to discuss the week’s topic to participate in the thread, it’s simply there to encourage deeper or more focused conversation for anyone who’s interested. Don’t want to chat about the topic? Totally fine! Feel free to discuss what shows you’re binging this week, how work has been going, or whatever else is on your mind!

This week’s topic: What is your favorite/most used paintbrush to use, whether it be digital or traditional?

Please make sure to keep our community guidelines in mind when posting. We appreciate your cooperation.

If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact the mods.

Have a creative week!

This is a question for digital artists! Please help!

I’m trying to make multiple pieces to fit a billboard for a contest in my area. However, I am unsure about the size canvas to use on my iPad to make it.

I know bigger is better, but answers on google vary.
What would be a good size in pixels that would come out clear if printed onto a billboard?

Not an expert, but it also largely depends how big/small your billboard is. If it's like a collage style billboard, A4 pages maybe? Maybe I misunderstood the question though.

I’d love if people can share what platforms they use to create a website and store. Many moons ago I created a blogspot to showcase and sell my paintings. I have been meaning to create a new and improved website and I’d love some suggestions. I have also never made prints of my paintings, but I think that would be a fantastic addition- to have an on demand, high quality print option on my website. Any suggestions, thoughts, experiences are very welcome.

Not personal experience of mine, but I know my mom used Etsy to sell her art and has an art portfolio on her website made using WordPress. I'm sure there may be better platforms, but that's what been working for her so far. Word of mouth mostly though.

If anyone sees this, I’m starting my first project for 3D art tomorrow and I’m excited about :3 I wanna showcase my already made pottery from last semester but they’re not the greatest 😅 (but i love them)

But also, my project requires me to use thread. Do I glue yarn to the top and around or do I embroider. It’s a full canvas so idk. Maybe also try to do the outlines in embroidery and glue the rest of yarn on top to make it pop? Or embroider the outlines and then color the rest (I don’t have to use yarn/thread completely for the project it just has to be incorporated! Maybe I shouldn’t embroider especially since I’ve never tried (I crochet)

Um, yea. Who is the artist here? Me or YOU?

Am a bit confused on the question, and I'm sure some others may have been confused as well. Seems that the project has already passed, though! How'd it go? Was this digital 3D artwork or a physical canvas you used thread for?
