WE ARE A GROUP FOR PAINTERS - WE ONLY ACCEPT TRADITIONAL PAINTINGS! IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY PIECES UNDER THE CATEGORY OF TRADITIONAL ART>PAINTINGS DON'T BOTHER TO REQUEST TO JOIN - YOU WON'T BE ACCEPTED. IF YOU LIKE TRADITIONAL PAINTINGS BUT YOU ARE NOT A PAINTER JUST CLICK THE "WATCH" BUTTON, WE ALL APPRECIATE. Hello, welcome to TraditionalPainting! As our name says, we are a group for traditional painters! WE ONLY ACCEPT TRADITIONAL PAINTINGS, not drawings or other category on traditional art. What is a traditional painting? "A painting is the mediated result of an artist’s application of wet paint on a flat surface." This is the definition we will considerate and accept. For more info read the following: RULES  Joining: Simply click "Join Our Group" at the top of the page. Requests to join are not automatically approved. Artists with no paintings in their gallery won't be accepted as members. If you have the intention to submit paintings to dA just send the request to join this group when you actually have those pieces in your gallery. If you are a traditional art lover in the painting category you can always watch the group without being a member. To do so simply click the watch button on the top of the page. Submission: Submissions are currently limited to 1 per day on each folder. The work must also be 100% your own work (ie painted by YOU). We do not accept submissions on behalf of someone else, even if you are their manager. The work must be submitted by the original artist. It's OK if it was made using a reference. Paintings posted to dA under other category than "paintings": We will accept works under other categories but in order to do so the artist should have in their comments the description of the material used and/or some words about the piece. Mixed Media We do accept Mixed-Media, but in order to be accepted, paint must make up a majority (at least 60%) of the medium used. Please try to state in your artists comments what medium was used. Content: We accept nudity, but only artistic and tasteful nudes. We do not accept images displaying a high level of blood, violence and gore or images of people doing drugs and explicit sexual content. If your painting has a mature content blocker, it will be accepted on the previous terms. Cropping: We will NOT accept poorly cropped images that have edges/workspace showing. If you submit these, admin will reject the piece and ask you to crop the image before the work can be accepted into the gallery. We do accept SOME paintings that have borders on them, but the borders should be symmetrical with the edges of the painting and photo (so it looks square and even). Quality & Presentation: We ask that the image be clear to see and have no glare on the canvas if possible. Poor quality photos (i.e. grainy photos or poorly lit pieces) will be declined. In short, please present your work in a professional manner. WIP: Obviously, we won't accept any WIPs (work in progress). We only accept finished pieces which follow the previous rules of cropping and quality of presentation. Watermarks and signatures We accept signed and/or watermarked pieces, but you have to use your own. Pieces with the dA watermark will be declined. Pastels: We DO accept pastel work! However, It needs to be done with a painting technique so that it doesn't look like a drawing. PLEASE: Double-check the folder BEFORE you submit! Just for a question of respect for our work. Anyway I'll make sure no piece will be declined because you get to submit to the wrong folder. I'll accept it and move it later. We Do Not Accept:
  Digital drawings or digital paintings. Photos of paintings taken in museums. Paintings on other objects than flat surfaces. Traditional drawings - it basically has to fall under the category of a painting. If you have used watercolour pencils and water to give it the watercolour effect, but your piece was a drawing and includes pencil lines, it won't be accepted. Anime or cartoon/comic pieces, unless it was used a traditional painting technique. Pieces with the dA watermark: you can use your own watermark and/or signature(s). Thank you for your attention and for reading the rules.GROUP RANKINGS Members: This is the ranking you receive when you join the group. Members have limited submission capabilities. Contributors: Contributors are members who have powers to vote on group submissions. In order to become a Contributor, you need to prove that you are responsible and reliable to Egil21. Co-Founders: This spot is reserved for primary group administrators.QUESTIONS? If you have any questions, feel free to ask! You can ask on our comment section or by note. Any question regarding a determinate submission please ask on that Submission Process message. Enjoy the group! Elsa, Egil21 Painting media Different types of paint are usually identified by the medium that the pigment is suspended or embedded in, which determines the general working characteristics of the paint, such as viscosity, miscibility, solubility, drying time, etc. Oil Oil painting is the process of painting with pigments that are bound with a medium of drying oil—especially in early modern Europe, linseed oil. Often an oil such as linseed was boiled with a resin such as pine resin or even frankincense; these were called 'varnishes' and were prized for their body and gloss. Oil paint eventually became the principal medium used for creating artworks as its advantages became widely known. The transition began with Early Netherlandish painting in northern Europe, and by the height of the Renaissance oil painting techniques had almost completely replaced tempera paints in the majority of Europe. Pastel Pastel is a painting medium in the form of a stick, consisting of pure powdered pigment and a binder. The pigments used in pastels are the same as those used to produce all coloured art media, including oil paints; the binder is of a neutral hue and low saturation. The colour effect of pastels is closer to the natural dry pigments than that of any other process. Because the surface of a pastel painting is fragile and easily smudged, its preservation requires protective measures such as framing under glass; it may also be sprayed with a fixative. Nonetheless, when made with permanent pigments and properly cared for, a pastel painting may endure unchanged for centuries. Pastels are not susceptible, as are paintings made with a fluid medium, to the cracking and discolouration that result from changes in the colour, opacity, or dimensions of the medium as it dries. Acrylic Acrylic paint is fast drying paint containing pigment suspension in acrylic polymer emulsion. Acrylic paints can be diluted with water, but become water-resistant when dry. Depending on how much the paint is diluted (with water) or modified with acrylic gels, media, or pastes, the finished acrylic painting can resemble a watercolour or an oil painting, or have its own unique characteristics not attainable with other media. The main practical difference between most acrylics and oil paints is the inherent drying time. Oils allow for more time to blend colours and apply even glazes over under-paintings. This slow drying aspect of oil can be seen as an advantage for certain techniques, but in other regards it impedes the artist trying to work quickly. Watercolour Watercolour is a painting method in which the paints are made of pigments suspended in a water-soluble vehicle. The traditional and most common support for watercolour paintings is paper; other supports include papyrus, bark papers, plastics, vellum or leather, fabric, wood and canvas. In East Asia, watercolour painting with inks is referred to as brush painting or scroll painting. In Chinese, Korean, and Japanese painting it has been the dominant medium, often in monochrome black or browns. India, Ethiopia and other countries also have long traditions. Finger-painting with watercolour paints originated in China. Watercolour pencils (water-soluble colour pencils) may be used either wet or dry. Ink Ink paintings are done with a liquid that contains pigments and/or dyes and is used to colour a surface to produce an image, text, or design. Ink is used for drawing with a pen, brush, or quill. Ink can be a complex medium, composed of solvents, pigments, dyes, resins, lubricants, solubilizers, surfactants, particulate matter, fluorescers, and other materials. The components of inks serve many purposes; the ink’s carrier, colourants, and other additives control flow and thickness of the ink and its appearance when dry. Hot wax Encaustic painting, also known as hot wax painting, involves using heated beeswax to which coloured pigments are added. The liquid/paste is then applied to a surface—usually prepared wood, though canvas and other materials are often used. The simplest encaustic mixture can be made from adding pigments to beeswax, but there are several other recipes that can be used - some containing other types of waxes, damar resin, linseed oil, or other ingredients. Pure, powdered pigments can be purchased and used, though some mixtures use oil paints or other forms of pigment. Metal tools and special brushes can be used to shape the paint before it cools, or heated metal tools can be used to manipulate the wax once it has cooled onto the surface. Other materials can be encased or collaged into the surface, or layered, using the encaustic medium to adhere it to the surface. Fresco Fresco is any of several related mural painting types, done on plaster on walls or ceilings. The word fresco comes from the Italian word affresco [afˈfresːko], which derives from the Latin word for fresh. Frescoes were often made during the Renaissance and other early time periods. Buon fresco technique consists of painting in pigment mixed with water on a thin layer of wet, fresh lime mortar or plaster, for which the Italian word for plaster, intonaco, is used. A secco painting, in contrast, is done on dry plaster (secco is "dry" in Italian). The pigments require a binding medium, such as egg (tempera), glue or oil to attach the pigment to the wall. Gouache Gouache is a water based paint consisting of pigment and other materials designed to be used in an opaque painting method. Gouache differs from watercolour in that the particles are larger, the ratio of pigment to water is much higher, and an additional, inert, white pigment such as chalk is also present. This makes gouache heavier and more opaque, with greater reflective qualities. Like all watermedia, it is diluted with water. Enamel Enamels are made by painting a substrate, typically metal, with frit, a type of powdered glass. Minerals called colour oxides provide colouration. After firing at a temperature of 750–850 degrees Celsius (1380–1560 degrees Fahrenheit), the result is a fused lamination of glass and metal. Enamels have traditionally been used for decoration of precious objects, but have also been used for other purposes. In the 18th century, enamel painting enjoyed a vogue in Europe, especially as a medium for portrait miniatures. In the late 20th century, the technique of porcelain enamel on metal has been used as a durable medium for outdoor murals. Spray paint Aerosol paint (also called spray paint) is a type of paint that comes in a sealed pressurized container and is released in a fine spray mist when depressing a valve button. A form of spray painting, aerosol paint leaves a smooth, evenly coated surface. Standard sized cans are portable, inexpensive and easy to store. Aerosol primer can be applied directly to bare metal and many plastics. Speed, portability and permanence also make aerosol paint a common graffiti medium. In the late 1970s, street graffiti writers' signatures and murals became more elaborate and a unique style developed as a factor of the aerosol medium and the speed required for illicit work. Many now recognize graffiti and street art as a unique art form and specifically manufactured aerosol paints are made for the graffiti artist. A stencil protects a surface, except the specific shape to be painted. Stencils can be purchased as movable letters, ordered as professionally cut logos or hand-cut by artists. Tempera Tempera, also known as egg tempera, is a permanent, fast-drying painting medium consisting of coloured pigment mixed with a water-soluble binder medium (usually a glutinous material such as egg yolk or some other size). Tempera also refers to the paintings done in this medium. Tempera paintings are very long lasting, and examples from the first centuries AD still exist. Egg tempera was a primary method of painting until after 1500 when it was superseded by the invention of oil painting. A paint commonly called tempera (though it is not) consisting of pigment and glue size is commonly used and referred to by some manufacturers in America as poster paint. Water miscible oil paint Water miscible oil paints (also called "water soluble" or "water-mixable") is a modern variety of oil paint engineered to be thinned and cleaned up with water, rather than having to use chemicals such as turpentine. It can be mixed and applied using the same techniques as traditional oil-based paint, but while still wet it can be effectively removed from brushes, palettes, and rags with ordinary soap and water. Its water solubility comes from the use of an oil medium in which one end of the molecule has been altered to bind loosely to water molecules, as in a solution.
