Our July 2013 Paintout is

Charleston

Open for participation from July 1st thru July 31st


View Larger Map
You'll find an interactive map of Charleston, South Carolina 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 Charleston, South Carolina. A more charming, southern city in the united States is hard to come by. Charleston boasts many large, beautiful homes, along with narrow oak lined streets, waterfront areas, and urban landscapes. You'll enjoy Charleston. I guarantee (said with a souther drawl.)


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!

Does the area marked North Charleston count as Charleston?

Sure Melisa. As long as you don't go way outside the city, have at it. No real line to be drawn this month. Close is okay. Have fun.

Wouldn't it be fun if we had a forum to discuss what we find on our trips? I saw a guy standing on his front steps in his tighty whitey underwear in Bulgaria. I didn't want to paint him but it was so funny to get caught like that, I really wanted to tell everyone to go see. I wonder if he knows.

Your paintings are really wonderful to look at. They are chock-filled with a lot of life and color. It is clear that this work is very creative and requires a lot of talent to pursue. The watercolor paintings are my favorite, especially the painting of the park with a gazebo. The oil painting of the horses outside of a building was great as well.
