What is dada?
Well, not an expert here and I am still trying to figure it out, but at first glance it seems to be a social platform for artists where they can engage in visual conversations, and the cool thing about it is that it all happens on blockchain. I don't understand yet if they have a special token or a reward system for artists, but from what I read they have an exclusive gallery where they promote the artist, sell a limited number of digital copies and eventually reward the artist.
I say eventually , because just dipped my toes in the water so I am waiting to see if any reward comes to me :P
For the DaDa gallery, I think I have to install a metamask and I haven’t done that yet so I do not know if this one will ever enter the gallery, but since it is the first one I will consider it an experiment, because that is what this has been , I played with the tool (a paint like interface on the platform) and I will not hold high hopes for rewards on this one :P
My biggest hope for this first DaDa artwork is, to find more steemians here, that have created on DaDa :P, hoping to make some friends, share dada experiences and start some visual conversations :P
About the “paint like tool “ and painting process :D
At first I thought this was impossible, everything was a bit laggy and everytime I tried to draw a line I was getting more points instead of lines, but eventually I renounced control and allowed the tool to dictate the process and I really have to say this is so much fuuun !!!
I love it , you can get an impressionist, pointillism style or you can go for a decorative abstract style or combine them like I did :)
Also I think is not that hard to go for more styles of illustration, and I think it is very interesting how the limitations of the tool create a sort of cohesiveness between artists and the message and idea matter more than the execution.
For this artwork I had no initial plan, I just wanted to find the best way to use the tool (try different styles) so I started to do a master copy after the famous austrian artist Gustav Klimt “Woman with Fan”.
When I started I was sure I was not gonna finish or save the artwork, because before that I tried just spelling words or draw different shapes and nothing would work, so ended up not saving any of the previous attempts .
The more I tried not to get fixated on little details (like the fact I could not paint the eyes in the same direction as the masterpiece ) the better and enjoyable the process bacome.
Next time I will do an original concept (dough I think master copy with dada tool limitations is quite original :P) and I will follow all the right steps to get my artwork into the gallery :P
here are details of the sides where you could engage in a visual conversation :D

@stellabelle is just too adorable. I hope to get her engaged in a conversation again. I like her heart.
You did amazingly well. Anything you touch gets transformed haha. Nice job my dear. It would be nice if they really reward as you hoped because you deserve the massive exposure due to your amazing art works. Keep being you dear.
And yes...i love that. It is never a crime to have high hopes especially when you have such a great talent. Well done dear. Keep soaring. I know you are ready for the world.

ah le dada c'est pas mon Dada ... last year i was lucky enough to get to paris for a weekend ... well three nights and i got to the artist zone in Montmartre ... there's a Dali museum there. Absolutely mon dada, but my greatest discovery there was (not absinthe but) Patrick Rubinstein...
nonetheless, it looks great and its way more than i could accomplish by hand so please accept my humble vote
then we go sleepy ... before i go below 90 ... wouldnt you with you could exchange that system for 5 or 10 full power votes a day instead sometimes ? xD
good luck, keep it up, show more , don't let people tell you what you like, it's art not sales

Wow this is really wonderful ....one fact about art works is that it must come from the heart, from your inner self. If you don't agree inwardly with the work of art then when you find it challenging all you do is to give up. Your first attempt or lets say trial is really great. Keep it up with time we will celebrate you all over the world .

This is really cool. The 'Tool" your talking about is that controlled by your mouse? Or does it require a Tablet with a stylus? And the next question I have is can you post Art works that you have produced by other means there?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

the tool is very "paint" like, you can control it both with mouse or tablet, I work with tablet (couldn't do it with a mouse ) it is a very simple tool, you do not have layers or too many options but that creates the cohesiveness between the artworks, and it is more about the dialogue between artists so you can't upload artworks , just draw them there. the best collections are curated by the dada team and put in a online blockchain gallery where people can buy a limited number of prints with ETH

I'm really impressed by what you have been able to achieve already Alex. It's great to see the transition from Gustav Klimt's 'Woman with Fan' to your own.
The eyes are great. Making them larger, and then the mouth fuller and giving a lift to the hairstyle gives her a contemporary look now.
I'll certainly have a look at the DaDa gallery now too. 🦋

YES. Was looking at them last night. Fabulous continuations which may inspire more artists at Steemit to join in as well.
Wonderful to see how your painting has inspired others to continue with this decorative style. Klimt's painting was a great choice to work with, as there are so many elements that can be drawn from. 🦋

This is brilliant! I just discovered you (through your comment on @debart's work) and am looking forward to going through your blog now =)
I have somewhat of an emotional connection with the most famous Klimt painting (The Kiss) because in the beginning of my previous relationship, I was introduced to his work by her and it was the first one she sent me.
Also, thank you for introducing me to Dada... It seems like a very interesting project.
