Creamybutter Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I;m thinking about my next painting and I was just wondering what people generally like. (would love to sell some of them too!) Would it be.. 1) Landscape- Nature, seascapes, mountains trees 2) Cityscapes - Streets, lanes, people walking, shops 3) Portraits - of people or famous celebrities 4) Animals- Cats, dogs, wildlife 5) Still life- Flowers, glass, decor 6) Nudity 7) Food- Dessert, drinks, Wine 8) Automobile- Cars, bikes 9) Culture/Architecture- Holy places, Dance, Music, Historical sites 10) Geek Art- Movie/TV/ Comic/Fiction- Batman, Superman, Avengers Thats all I can think of. What would you like to see? Link to comment
lerenard Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I think all of them are popular, its just a question of tastes. Though I like abstraction and surrealism a lot more, from what you listed (imagining what picture I would like to hang on the wall) I would go with number 1 and 9) Cityscapes are cool too!

SooSad33 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I like Nature... rivers, tree's, birds. My son likes owls & penguins. All of my kids like gaming/characters. Link to comment
and so it goes Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 You want your art to tell a story - even a small one. Example: So not just an owl on a branch - why is that owl on a branch? hunting, resting, is it about to take off, or did it just land. You need to create a mood, to draw the person in, give them something to take away from the picture. Stuff like that It is the difference between good art and great art. Link to comment
idontunderstan Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Think of an idea, a concept, or a theme. Something that has personal meaning to you and then figure how you can depict that meaning visually. That's what I do when I'm stumped I'm really into surrealistic art and dream oriented work. Hope that helped! Link to comment
rayfutz Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I would vote for animals, or culture and architecture. But I love art and photography diversely Link to comment
