Our December 2012 Paintout is
Slovakia
Open for participation from December 1st till December 31st.
View Larger Map
You'll find an interactive map of Slovakia above, though you can't access the little yellow pegman from that map. Use the link below it, "View Larger Map", and the map will appear on your monitor; drag the little Yellow Man onto the map, let go while he's over a blue area, and start exploring. Find an interesting subject/area. Change it all you want. Or paint it straight up as you see it. Instructions are in the sidebar to the right. Any questions, ask 'em in the comments or email me directly.
This
month we travel to the Eastern European country of Slovakia. You are
free to travel the
entire country to find something to paint or draw. I love these eastern European countries. So much rural, scenery with small towns, and large urban areas too.
IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING...
It is necessary to stress the importance of a couple of rules.
One is the image size issue. It states in the rules
in the right sidebar on this blog that the image has
to be at a resolution of 72 and no larger than 1000
pixels on the widest side. Submissions not following the rules will not be posted.
IGNORE THE BLUE DOTS!
It appears that Google has now added every user
submitted photograph to the maps in the form of blue dots. Make
sure your reference comes from the actual Street View
application and not a photograph. Thanks.
Also, each artist must include the URL of the location that the artwork is based upon.
To find the URL is easy. In the maps mode, while
looking at your scene you have chosen, click the
"LINK" button at the top LEFT of the screen, check the "Short URL" button. With that link
highlighted simply copy it and paste into your email with
your submission. (How do you not lose your location? Click "SEND" with your view up and email it to yourself.) Remember, these buttons are found at the top left of the map.
So there you go. Should be extremely easy. If your submission doesn't show up on the blog, please check the list near the top in the sidebar entitled, "Don't see your submission? This could be the reason..." Thanks.
Thanks again to Google, as they have given their permission for
artists to use Street View as a reference for
paintings that can then be sold without fear of
copyright infringement.
And thank you, artists, for participating.
Remember, participation is open to all levels of artistic ability.
NOW LET'S HAVE SOME FUN!
