Helpie's Fine Art Curation Report

Week 5

 

Hey Steemians, we are back with the 5th edition of @Helpie 's Fine Art Curation Report. This will be a weekly report where we will feature some great content coming out of the Fine Art community. Our goal is to find those individuals that are producing quality content, and raise them up to help them grow. We will do this by featuring 4 talented Steemians and their posts each week. Also, because the goal is to help them grow on the platform, the rewards payout of this report will be paid to the featured artists. The idea is to find those hidden gems that are not getting the recognition they deserve, and lift them in any way we can.What are we looking for? 

We are looking for great content! We want to reward those individuals that are taking their time and energy to add value to the platform through their high quality content. That’s it, think quality over quantity. We will be collecting them through the week and posting our top 4 here each Week.

First Things First: What is Helpie?

 

Helpie is a new and unique educational community within Steemit, designed to help users that are creating quality content grow on the platform. We do this through a variety of ways including; 

• Lessons designed to help users navigate the steemit network and teach them how to get the most out of it. (ex. GINAbot Tutorial, Growing Your Following On Steemit, and Markdown Challenge
• Daily Steemit related trivia and contests
• Mentorship from established Steemit users in all different categories
• A place to discuss ideas, collaborate with other members, and build your personal community
• Daily upvote from Helpie for members
• Weekly Curation of great quality content

Helpie is an invite only community, but anyone can participate in the daily trivia questions. You are not required to up-vote Helpie’s posts to participate. This initiative is not meant to be a vote for vote operation, it’s an educational tool only.

If you would like to be considered to join Helpie as a minnow in training, please consider joining PALnet/MSPand participating in the community. We have scouts constantly looking for the right minnows to support, and they will reach out with a private invitation.

I'm going to try not to talk to much, because if an artist has made it into this curation then their work speaks for itself.

Here are the artists in the spotlight for @Helpie 's 5th Fine Art Curation:

🎨 Today finished original painting - Composition 18-690 - photos of neverending details included

@jecminek

@jecminek is an incredible abstract painter. Anyone can call themselves an abstract painter, but this guy knows how to actually make it all work. His designs are bold and full of dynamic. Just look at those color interactions. That pop of red is what makes this thing explode. Go check out is work.

"Zoom in" - a closer look at the "Divina Commedia"

@reinhard-shmid

@reinhard-shmid is a fantastic whimsical surrealist. If you have been on the platform for any time at all you have no doubt run across his work.
I am so envious of this range of value. Just look at the folds in that fabric. I feel like can reach out and touch it. Go check it out.

🎨 "The Timetraveller II" is finished: The process and some details

@gric

@gric is another artist that is very well known on the platform. He creates surreal paintings that are highly technical and wonderfully dark. The luminance on all of this time traveller's gear really adds to the whole vibe. You can zoom in on pretty much any area and be blown away by how much there is to look at. Go check out his page.

ART SECTION POSEIDON REALIST DRAWING

@darita84

This week @darita shares a great example of how to make a realistic drawing. You can really feel the light in it. The rolling forms in the beard are handled with just the right amount of complexity. The planes of the face are well carved. It has just the right range of value for the material. Go check out her page.

I know you fine people will go show these great artists some love, and I don't just mean an up-vote or a re-steem, but a comment as well. We know it is important to reach out and connect with the human on the other end of the great expanse and let them know our genuine thoughts and feelings.

Want to Get Curated?

What Are We Looking For?

If you want to get your art curated by Helpie then you need to keep these things in mind

• The ARTWORK YOU POST MUST BE YOUR OWN-

  ......I know how to use Google's Image Search.......Just putting that out there

• It must be clear that the artwork is your own
  • If I find you have posted a really great piece of artwork, but when I click on the post I can't tell if it is yours I'm probably not going to stay very long. I'm not saying that you have to write a book about the art you post, but a quick exclamation of ownership and maybe a short backstory. The problem is that there are just too many people out there sharing other people's art and just saying a few words without giving any credit to the artist for the image they are using. It is just too difficult to sort through all of it all the time.
• Extra Points for showing your process- Not only does it make it easier to verify the work is original, I am also very intrigued by watching the process of other artists and I think it benefits the art community here on Steemit.

• No Digital Works, No Photography - Nothing against the two. That just isn't what this curation is about.

Do You Know an Artist That Deserves More Attention? If So Drop Their Name in the Comments. We Love Finding New Talented Steemians Here at Helpie!
