I was reading a post by a Steemian artist that was offering to give away her lovely painting that was done on a postcard sized medium by way of a comment in the post as an entry:
https://steemit.com/art/@barbara-orenya/do-you-want-to-win-this-original-painting-why-you-better-read-all-the-post-then-une-chance-de-gagner-cette-peinture-est-incluse
It is such a beautiful gesture for an artist to share the enjoyment of creating the artwork with people who admire and appreciate it, but I wonder if this is something that artists do between themselves?
I looked through the list of people that I follow (nearly 1000 now) and started making a list of people who I follow on Steemit and have enjoyed their artworks:
Artist | Artwork example |
---|---|
@aci7 | watercolor drawing |
@adammillwardart | custom painted skateboard |
@adelepazani | drawing on paper |
@alain-bellino | bronze sculpture of skeleton |
@aleduruy | webcomic concept art |
@alexandravart | digital painting |
@amalinavia | alcohol marker painting |
@amethystrosee | spiritual art/sketch |
@ammonite | sand sculpture |
@ankapolo | portrait - charcoal on wood |
@arthurgain | alla prima sketch |
@artmessiah | digital illustration |
@artjay | oil pastel |
@artwithflo | digital art |
@atopy | digital art |
@aurah | cartoon/comic art |
@azbeen | digital illustration |
But I had to give up because I had so many and it was just the 'A's :p
However, I hope you can see that there are so many amazing artists and I would be happy to exchange one of my artworks for theirs happily (not sure everyone feels the same way though).
If you are one of the artists listed here, or know of someone who is happy to swap artworks in the interest of sharing and promoting each other's work please let me know :)
Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.

Steemitchat doesn't seem to work very well for me but if you are on Discord I'd love to swap details and see if I can get my little origami cranes to spread their wings around the world!

I guess it is not always easy to put a value on something, especially if it is hand made and unique to a person's style or skill. I know that there are many artists/creators who prefer to sell their work to someone for a price, but I admire people who are willing to part with something if it is going to bring a lot of pleasure or enjoyment to the recipient. I know that it give me a little bit of extra motivation to make something :)
