Week 7
Hey Steemians, we are back with the 7th edition of @Helpie 's Fine Art Curation Report. This will be a weekly report where we will feature some great content coming out of the Fine Art community. The idea is to find those hidden gems that are not getting the recognition they deserve, and lift them in any way we can.
We are looking for great content! We want to reward those individuals that are taking their time and energy to add value to the platform through their high quality content. That’s it, think quality over quantity. We will be collecting them through the week and posting our top 4 here each Week.
Helpie is a new and unique educational community within Steemit, designed to help users that are creating quality content grow on the platform. We do this through a variety of ways including;
Lessons designed to help users navigate the steemit network and teach them how to get the most out of it. (ex. GINAbot Tutorial, Growing Your Following On Steemit, and Markdown Challenge Daily Steemit related trivia and contests Mentorship from established Steemit users in all different categories A place to discuss ideas, collaborate with other members, and build your personal community Daily upvote from Helpie for members Weekly Curation of great quality content
Helpie is an invite only community, but anyone can participate in the daily trivia questions. You are not required to up-vote Helpie’s posts to participate. This initiative is not meant to be a vote for vote operation, it’s an educational tool only.
If you would like to be considered to join Helpie as a minnow in training, please consider joining PALnet/MSPand participating in the community. We have scouts constantly looking for the right minnows to support, and they will reach out with a private invitation.
If you have not already, I invite you to check out This Week's Homesteading Curation Report done by the amazing

I'm going to try not to talk too much, because if an artist has made it into this curation then their work speaks for itself.
Here are the artists in the spotlight for @Helpie 's 7th Fine Art Curation:
Ballpoint sketch with two colors (STEPS)
Check out this awesome pen sketch walk-through by . He will show you how easy it is to start a drawing with just a pen.......Oh, wait, I should rephrase; how easy it is for him to start with just a pen. If you are like most, your attempt won't look anywhere near this good, but he lays out a nice roadmap for working this way.
The sad queen..!
This is such a vintage looking painting. Something about the proportions and the style of this really draw me in. That expression is so powerful.
I am a big fan of the way that watermarks art with the Steemit Logo and Username. I am moved to start doing this myself. That way if the picture gets around it might bring some people here.
Waterfall in the High Desert - 8 * 8 Oil on canvas
This scene!
In the foreground, the stillness and clarity of the pool is a wonderful place to rest for some contemplation.
What is even more amazing to me is that this is only 8 inches by 8 inches. That is always impressive to me when an artist can capture something so whole in such a small space.
Multidimensional Krishna-work in progress
I just found today, and I am so glad I did. The spectral vision of this artist is remarkable. I would love to see what collaboration work between
and
would look like.
This isn't even a completed piece. This is a work in progress on the 6th layer, and there are 8 more layers left to go according to in this post.
I know you fine people will go show these great artists some love, and I don't just mean an up-vote or a re-steem, but a comment as well. We know it is important to reach out and connect with the human on the other end of the great expanse and let them know our genuine thoughts and feelings.
Want to Get Curated?
What Are We Looking For?
If you want to get your art curated by Helpie then you need to keep these things in mind
- The ARTWORK YOU POST MUST BE YOUR OWN-
......I know how to use Google's Image Search.......Just putting that out there
- It must be clear that the artwork is your own
- If I find you have posted a really great piece of artwork, but when I click on the post I can't tell if it is yours I'm probably not going to stay very long. I'm not saying that you have to write a book about the art you post, but a quick exclamation of ownership and maybe a short backstory. The problem is that there are just too many people out there sharing other people's art and just saying a few words without giving any credit to the artist for the image they are using. It is just too difficult to sort through all of it all the time.
- Extra Points for showing your process- Not only does it make it easier to verify the work is original, I am also very intrigued by watching the process of other artists and I think it benefits the art community here on Steemit.

No Digital Works, No Photography - Nothing against the two. That just isn't what this curation is about.
