Photo Editing
A Vignette is an editing effect that we can use to highlight something within a photo - but you don't need to overdo it. Often we think of Vignetting as something negative that occurs when we have a lens hood on and darkness starts to appear around the edge of our photos. There are other reasons a vignette can occur as well such as various filters or the lens and how you have it zoomed in or out. But there are ways in which you can utilise a vignette to make your photograph a bit more appealing. Alternatively you can use Vignetting to improve your Photograph if you have some unwanted effects. There are some main terms used to d

Introduction: Although going into an art store can be fun but it can also be overwhelming with so many brands, types, and prices to consider. Sometimes, a totally cheapo art supply can work better than an expensive brand. I am going to be sharing my personal favorites and experiences with you and hopefully, the next time you go into an art store, you can have an idea on what to buy and selecting the material which suits your needs.
I am dividing this article into sections so you can skip ahead to the area which you are interested in.

ART HISTORY PROJECT: J B C COROT
If ever there was an artist of whom it may definitively be said:
“They truly lived for their art!”,
It may be said of Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot.
Many, without doubt, will, justifiably in most cases, cite many another artist of whom this may be said.... but!, ...undeniably, in most cases also , there was an inherent or imposed struggle against ones parents, society, morality, religion, racism, sexism, or many another constraint to be fought against..., in order to, at last, release the potential of the artist within. In many cases there was also financial constraints.... “the garret life of the starving artist

Who was Jacques-Louis David?
For those of you unaware of who David might be, he was an incredibly talented pioneer of the Neoclassical period of art during the 18th and 19th centuries. The official painter for Napoleon Bonaparte, David's work for Bonaparte had an extreme influence in the events succeeding the French Revolution in Europe. However, much of his work before and outside of Bonaparte's influence, has tremendous value and significance within its times.

Jacques-Louis David was born in 1748 to a wealthy family in Paris, France, and died in Brussels,
People keep asking me what programs i use, and what program is the best for drawing and what brushes i used for this artwork or that. Those are legitimate questions, sure, but not entirely accurate. There are differences between programs and brushes, but in the end, they are all tools. They are tools artists use to put their imagination onto a canvas. Just like a traditional artist can use 10 different brushes to paint an artwork, or just one single brush, digital art is the same in that regard. There is no one brush that can achieve an effect that none other can. Sure it's a little more difficult if you're using one brush type to draw everyt
How to Write Helpful Critiques/ Feedback by SpriteBlayde, journal
How to Write Helpful Critiques/ Feedback
Now that I have been looking at several literature pieces a week, there aren't a whole lot of comments that provide the writers with feedback. So here's a guide that I thought might be useful for some people on how to provide helpful feedback and critiques.
Before I begin, I would like to say that I have been a part of a wonderful writing group for the past four years. The writing club is where I first learned how to do a critique. I have also been taught some critique techniques during my college studies. In addition to the writing club and college classes, I have been doing my best to leave helpful feedback and critiques here on deviantART
1. - WHAT IS COLOR?
Color is the aspect of things that is caused by differing qualities of light being reflected or emitted by them, as received by the human eye and processed by the human brain. It is a function of light and biology, not an exact science, no two people can see it exactly the same.
The human eye and brain together translate light into color. Light receptors within the eye transmit messages to the brain, which produces the familiar sensations of color. Newton observed that color is not inherent in objects. Rather, the surface of an object reflects some colors and absorbs all the others. We perceive only the reflected colors.

What Ruins A Painting?(or makes it better)
We all had those kind of paintings at some point, looking at which we felt something is not right – something is not right – But could not find it. What went wrong? We have put every finest details and all our patience in it. Then?
Art has its own science. Science that makes a successful art – something that comes out exactly you thought of and leaves the same impact on your audience. That science is known as composition in art and music. Where your eyes will go at first, how you will draw attention, how much attention you will draw – these are not luck, but pure
