Hello everybody!
This challenge is one of the most difficult ones to judge. As ALL entries are fantastic! And I know there were people not satisfied with my choice of the winner. At least I got one comment in one of the contests. And, of course, I can't make happy everybody. But I feel kinda upset about it.
So, I want to suggest one experiment. It might not work but if it works and you will like it we can repeat it. I suggest us choose the winner.
Let me also know what you think of it.
Below you will see the entries with numbers. I will not mention names but, of course, you can easily find the authors. In the comments you write the number of the artwork you like.
I also want to hear your opinion if digital entries can compete with paintings (not processed photos).
I know there are many competitions here and in other social media where people ask friends to vote for them. I don't mind. But not in my contest.
Let us be honest and don't do that! I want the best paintings to win but not that one who have more friends. So, I don't want artists - participants send requests to their friends to ask to vote for them. But the participants and others have a right (it is even greeted) to send the link to the friends and ask to choose the best paintings.
Allowed
- to ask friends to choose the best painting
- participants can vote for other works
Prohibited
- to vote for yourself
- to ask friends to vote for you
We will see if we like it and if it works. If it doesn't work I will announce the winners tomorrow by myself.
PLEASE SUBMIT THE NUMBERS OF THE BEST PAINTING BY TOMORROW (8 pm Moscow time)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DON'T FORGET! The Theme is CUBISM+ARCHITECTURE!!!!!!!
So, the entries in random order.
There is also a couple of digital (not processed photos) and made in mixed technique. I added them to the main category. If you have a different opinion, please let me know. I think it is great work but there are just few and it is not enough for competition.
1 Watercolour
2 watercolor. The participant hasn't submitted this one for the contest but this sketch was made as well. So, I hope the author doesn't mind that I included it in the contest))
3 16x20 canvas in oil
4 16 x 20 oil on canvas
5 I guess it is watercolour
6 acrylic on medium sized canvas
7 Mixed media (watercolor, black marker and colored pencils) on textured cardboard
8 Ink on Cotton hand made Paper
9 oil with minor editing in photo editor
10 New mixed media series with glued fabric pieces and wallpaper with spray paint, color splashes and gentle brush strokes - digitally adjusted / color corrected for printing purposes
11 Mixed media on structured art paper (digitally adjusted / color corrected for printing purposes).
12 Made with aquarelle, tempera, pastel, paper
13 aquarelle, paper
14 I guess it is oil
15 Pencil
16 watercolor pencils, water, color felt pens, color pens, on watercolor paper.

I hope I didn't miss any.
So, I am waiting for your comments with numbers of the painting you like more. Be honest and listen to your heart! I trust you))))
Deadline is Tuesday, 4th of July 8pm Moscow time.
I am also trying to build a Steemit Artists database. Please let me know if somebody is missing. And I am also sorry if I added somebody by mistake. Let me know and I would remove you from the list. If anybody doesn't want to be in the list, please let me also know. Thank you!

Hi @aksinya,
I think both digital and paintings are same the only difference is that one use traditional art supply to create it and another one use digital artsupply to create that. So as far as category is concern, you can add both of them.
But each category has its own limitation. Painting can include TEXTURE automatically, on the other hand it has limited pallet and vibrancy, depends on art supply. On the other hand digital has many capabilities that convention process can't provide you, but you need to formulate artificial texture in your art. Every thing is possible in either way, but if you compare them, digital should stand out, if it is made by equally talented artist. So as far as category is concern, you can merge th to show others. Bit you can't compare them.
Hope It might be helpful.
Have a Nice Day ...

Well its a good idea, i know its hard being a judge, and it will help you make your decisions wise, the digital is ok in one group as i dont know how to make it and i have no idea on how it was done in a way, if its pleasing to the eyes and makes your mind think on how did the artist do it, then it is art

#5, #11, #14 in that order for first, second and third place. #5 I like because of the bold colored shadows and the foreign cafe scene. #11 is full of depth with dark rich colors and a highly abstract style which I like. #14 has a nice straightforward cubist style with generous use of a nice blue color.....I think that digital and digitally enhanced artwork can be included in the same category as the paintings etc. As an artist myself, I love to play around with digital enhancement.....My pick for the winner of the digital photos is #3, I like the church and abstract stained glass/light effect. Good-luck, hope this helps, sorry to hear about your rainbow meltdown, hopefully your daughter has forgiven you now:)

I think if we consider precision of strokes of the brushes and attractiveness of work, we can not combine them. But if we consider idea and effort of art, I think we can combine them. So as far as evaluating aetstyle is concern, I think we can combine them.
Great day ...

Digital painting is more like painting in my opinion than processed photos. It is a similar kind of work and skill that is put into it. You only get so many submissions, so too many categories could become cumbersome. Maybe you could just vary the rules each week to stay inclusive; like one week all digital, another no digital; another both; another no processed photos ect.

If everyone stays honest I feel like having us vote is a fun idea. Personally I don't judge any art form including digital as anything but the same. We all have our chosen medium, and there are a lot to choose from. Would hate to see this come to a point where we start splitting hairs. Glad to be here, wish I had know about this platform a long time ago.

I can guess it would be less objective, because, since no one can vote for it's own artwork, people might start to vote for authors with higher rating (just for get an additional upvote from a bigger fish).
Also, I don't know how you can stop friends-for-frienfs votes. Let's see how It would work now and based on this, we could make a conclussions for future
Digital&painting (also I would add craft). - imho, you might allow those works for a contests but make different nominations

#7 is one the few who stands out as cubist architecture work. Closely followed by #14. #3 in the digital is very interesting, but not really cubist? I think it is better not to mix categories and keep them separate imho -cheers

lot of nice artworks again but i think only a few managed to grasp the both cubism and architecture, while some were sliding too much into other directions . Many would do great in some other category but In my opinion number 15 showed most clear execution and understanding of the current theme.

Hello, I just dropped by to give everybody commenting and voting an upvote.
This is a wonderful contest, and to note: That many of the contestants are painting or drawing out of their comfort zone ; for that, I give them a great deal of credit and encouragement.
And thank you, Aksinya for having such insight to give us artists a reason to explore the different types of Art - within ourselves.
