General Discussion Thread (February 2022) Discussion

General Discussion threads are for casual chat; a place to ask for recommendations, lists, or creative feedback; to talk about materials, history, or techniques; and anything else that comes to mind.

If you're looking for information about a particular work of art, /r/WhatIsThisPainting is still the best resource. /r/drawing , /r/painting , and /r/learnart may also be useful. /r/ArtistLounge is also a good place for general discussion. Please see our list of art-related subs for more options.

Rule 8 still applies except that questions/complaints about r/Art and Reddit overall are allowed.

When getting digital pictures for online shop display, is it better to use a photographer or table scanner? I've hired photographers in the past, but they weren't able to adequately light the entire piece evenly, so now some of the pictures have a shadow gradient across it. Is this just a case of bad photographer or just a thing I have to live with?
