It's that time of the week again. Dipping back into the ol' well of art and this time coming out with this portrait study I did a while back as a class demonstration of photoshop painting. Took about 3 hrs to complete.
This was one of the ones I liked. It can be a bit nerve racking to paint in front of an audience with a time limit but you get used to it. I'm hoping an evolution of the Communities feature will be Sub-Communities that I talked about here. I'd love to have a Sub-Community in OCA that is just for Art Education.
When I look at what we have here with Communities and extrapolate where it will go with scale, I think sub-communities or some further filtering system will become more and more necessary.
On a separate topic, lots of community members have reached out to me inquiring about helping with OCA. This makes me super happy. When people share their concerns with me, or offer help, or warnings, I interpret all of this one way...that they care. That they care about making this place better. That they care about making it a success.
While we all might have different ideas about HOW to make it better, as long as we're on the same page that that is the ultimate goal, I'm confident we can all work together towards it.
So if you see what's being built here and want to get involved, feel free to use me as the blueprint. Don't wait for permission. Just start doing whatever you think will add value. That's what I've been doing on Steem for years and one of the things I love most about it. As just a regular user I've been able to have an impact. Over lots of hard work, patience, repetition, cooperation, diligence, and stubbornness, things are starting to take shape. This is only the beginning.
Let's all work together to make something great.
