I think wetcanvas should have a new section dedicated to drawing animals,wildlife art and marine art, anyone else agree

[sandyartist]

Excellent idea animal! That is a niche that I do not see in the forums and certainly there are a large number of artists here who would be interested in that! While I do mostly figure work, I do paint a lot of racehorses and hunt scenes..the result of working for a horseracing magazine several years ago...got hooked on animals as figures.

GREAT IDEA!!!! I would like to see this topic in Wet Canvas as well As a child I loved horses and from the early age five I started sketching them. In my second grade year my Grandmother gave me a Walter Foster book on drawing horses. I must have repeated every lesson in the book more times then I can count. I took my first best of show with a western work, "Packing In the Highland". I have been painting marine underwater works for the last 13 years. I also love the challenge of painting light under-water and dealing with all the negative-space, which allows me to crate a mood. I am also involved with the protection of whales and the marine Eco environment as well. I would just love a chance to share with other wildlife painters and animal artists, I know there is so much more I can learn and I love that challenge.

Sounds good to me. It doesn't fall under Drawing? Or did you mean a section for it like as in art school online and articles and stuff like that?

You Bet!!! I would love to see something dedicated to Wildlife and animals.

Rick, Ldybiss (aka Sandie) is one of my long-time art-buddies. She was staying with us last week, and I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to have you and Paula over to talk art. We will have to set something up in the future.
sandyartist, I think you and "Sandie" would hit it off very well. Hope we can all meet up in the future. Michael

Hi Ldybiss ((((((Sandie))))) <----HUGS!!
It was Aaron, Paula's husband that played the BEAUTIFUL classical guitar pieces. But YES, we will all have to meet again before TOO long.

[cagathoc]

[LdyBiss]

Sorry ((I am looking sheepish)).. Aaron, sorry I did not get to hear you play..and meet both you and Paula..

[Rick]

Mike, Thanks for clearing up the mixup between Arron and myself. Although I also play guitar but nowhere at the level of Arron. Besides I'm more into Bluegrass and country. I love to listen to classical guitar just can't play well enough!

[rapolina]

I think this can be very interesting , as I love to paint flowers, trees, small animals like squirrels, cats (i've got 2)and i never paint people or classic landscapes.
ciao, rapolina.

[LdyBiss]

Rick, I would love to hear you play as well.
