Paint/Draw Like a Favorite Artist
an ATC Learning Swap​

For this swap, everyone will name THREE of their favorite artists when they sign up. On March 18th, I will post the list of artists. Then you will choose THREE different artists from the list. You may do anyone's artist EXCEPT YOUR OWN.

You'll need to do some research to find examples of their work. That's part of the learning....and the fun! Participants may post links to their favorite artist's work to help out other players.

THIS IS THE FINAL LIST! You may still sign up to play, but no other artists will be added, so just choose 3 from the list above. Do not pick any of your favorites, the goal is to explore new to you artists and styles!

------------------------------------------------​

PLEASE READ:

1. Select only from the list that will be posted above.

2. Do NOT select your own favorite artists. The point is to learn about artists that are unfamiliar or different from yours!

3. You may use any painting or drawing techniques or mediums(or mix them). I recommend that you try staring at the work for 2-3 minutes and then working on your piece, then stare some more. Try to train your eye to communicate with your hand (so no tracing folks).

4. You may model your card after one of the artist's works or you may attempt your own theme in that artist's style.

5. Put the artist's name on the back of your card. It is always cool if you post a reference photo to the work that inspired you when you post your cards to the thread.

Rules of the Road
- All cards should be the standard size: 2.5” x 3.5”.
- All cards should be sent in plastic sleeves.
- All cards must be original, and each card must be different. Please do not make copies, submit prints, or create three cards that are minor variations of each other.
- Show off your talents. DO YOUR BEST WORK!
- Hand drawn or Hand Painted only please...no embellishments!

Mailing & Postage
- When you're ready to mail, please PM me for my address.
- Make sure your name, user name, location, and the swap name appear on the backs of all ATCs.
-PUT YOUR USERNAME AND THE SWAP NAME ON THE OUTSIDE OF ALL ENVELOPES.
-You may send an envelope with your address on it or a large mailing label for your returns.

Postage - One USA forever stamp for US players. One Global forever stamp (currently valued at $1.15 US) or 1 or 2 US dollars from International players.

NO COINS -- NO CHECKS -- NO WEIRD POSTAL VOUCHERS PLEASE!!!

Returns
- When you receive your returns, please leave iTrader for me and rep points for the artists. It is always nice to tell the player which card you received too. I will link players names to make this easy peasy.

Hi again! 2 questions:
(1) do we have to sign up by march 18 or can we sign up later & we just don't get to suggest artists and
(2) can we suggest artists even if we aren't sure yet we'll participate?
Just curious, and perhaps others are, too :-)
Thanks!
 
KPinAK--Yes, you may sign up after the 18th...but you will not get your artists on the list. Nope, you have to pay to play....only players get to suggest artists LOL.

And we're doing 3 different artists because part of the "learning" is to learn about artists we aren't familiar with. Maybe a future swap I'll do "concentrate on one new artist" or some such :D
 
It's going to be a real challenge! These artists are all amazing and I don't have their skills. It's agood job we only have to be "inspired by..."
