Hello to all!
I'm dipping my toes in the sea of art again and am delighted to find this forum.
My main interest is landscape oils, but I also dabble with other mediums, especially charcoal for portraiture
and mixed medium. (I often start with an acrylic underpainting for my oils.)
I'd never touched oils until recently and freely admit to being nowt but a beginner, but I'm very keen to learn.
I'm not sure where I should post my work, having read that others prefer to post in the "gallery". Also, is there a critique/comment ratio per post requirement? Any advice would be gratefully received. I have checked Q's & A's btw.
All the best and thanks again.

Welcome to the party. Pull up a chair; we think you'll like it here.
There's no post/ critique ratio, so fill yer boots. The gallery gets more traffic, so more people will see it there and it's best to post it there. You'll notice a Forum section for critique, but not everybody who uses the Gallery uses the Forum - go through "My Account" -> "My Art" and start uploading your stuff. What's your real name, so we know who to look out for in the Gallery?
There is, however, one rule. Rule Number 1 - Do not upload some dodgy picture of a sad old watercolour you found in a boot sale and ask us who it's by, how old it is and how much it's worth. We get a lot of them
