Week 9

Hey Steemians, we are back with the 9th 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 9th Fine Art Curation:

---

White Trash

@beauwhiteart

The attention to detail in the texture, luminosity, and reflected light in this oil painting by @beauwhiteart is superb. Trust me when I say you are going to want to follow this brand new addition to the art community. He's highly skilled and I'll be thrilled. I'm lying in suspense for what will happen next.

Portrait of a political leader,Chief Bola Ahmed Adekunle Tinubu

@bonarotti

Not only did @bonaratti render an excellent likeness, he pushed the range of value and the volume of this figure in a way that makes a very fresh portrait. So what are you waiting for? You know you want to see what @bonaratti does next. So go give him a follow.

"Children of the World" The whole life is not a matter, but life ... 😍

@daio

Check out the life that @daio put into these portrait paintings with just black paint. Don't stop at this post. Be sure and check out the rest of the series. She has posted a couple more of these since this post. Stop by her page.

The Monkey on my Back is Me! - A small oil painting I finished before Rehab in 2011

@beinart

I like weird stuff. That is my default. I'm pretty sure that is where @beinart is residing as well. This double exposed oil painting is a peculiar scene with a humorous story. I won't spoil the surprise. So make sure you visit his page and check out the backstory on this one.

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.
