Our December Paint out is
Ecuador
Open for participation December 1 through December 31
You'll find an interactive map of Ecuador above, though you can't access the little yellow pegman from that map. Use the link on the upper left of, or below, the map, "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 Ecuador. This small country in South America has quite a bit of coverage with Street View. It should be fun traveling around Ecuador, a beautiful place with ample subjects to paint or draw.
IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING...
IGNORE THE BLUE DOTS! Google has 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.
If you want a link to your reference included with your information please make sure you include the SHORT URL for the reference with your submission. Using the new Google Map to get a short link to your location in Street View, you need to do the following...
While
in Street View, click on the three dots in the box that shows the
location name. In the pop out box then click "Share or Embed Image".
Click
on that and in the box that pops up, make sure the "Share Link" tab is
active, then simply check the box for "Short URL". Copy that link and
paste it in the body of your email submission (and send to yourself so
you don't lose your location.)
Below is another option for getting a short URL. If you use Google Chrome browser, install the short URL app. Makes it really easy to grab a short URL from any page you are on.
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!
This interactive map provides an excellent opportunity to explore Ecuador and find incredible subjects for art. Any artist can easily follow the instructions given and interact with the landscape, while maintaining image sizes within a range that would make it look awesome to all.
ReplyDeleteIn New York City, a place that is alive with artistic expression and culture, being involved in such initiatives gives a worldwide view within the community of local artists. Indeed, it makes me think about how one may go through different things in New York. I mean from virtual exploration of landscapes to dealing with an unexpected situation like towed car nyc.
