Well, I'll bother to make a comment - but I agree all the same with North Light: keep posting on the Gallery, and you'll get comments. I would say though - don't take any comment as Gospel: trust your own judgement and don't let anyone argue you out of it. Of course you might wish to take advice on technical matters, but your artistic vision is your own.

Why must paintings be posted in the gallery?. When accessing the gallery, I've not found it easy to locate paintings by people who've posted a thread on the forum.
It's much easier to comment when a painting is shown in the forum itself. The big American art site, wetcanvas.com allows members to post paintings in its forum.

It's horses for courses - some websites I use want your stuff in the forum pages (Guitarnoise for music, VirtualInstructor for art - and others) and some sites have a central gallery.
This site has no central "Share your work" section in the forum, so sharing on the forum pages means work will just be dumped any old where and is in danger of being seen by even less people; or even being ignored. Worse, replies to art being shared recently on the forum pages at VirtualInstructor have included erotic stories in Russian, which just wastes everybody's time weeding it out. Personally, I don't want to have to dig through forum pages to find something worth looking at unless it's all going to be in one specific forum page. Plus, the forum really needs to be reserved for topic discussion.
Far better to put your stuff in the gallery where it will definitely be seen and you can check on all of it in one click.

I very occasionally use Wet Canvas, but find it a quagmire - there's too much there, a lot of it is years old, and all you can really do is hold your nose and dive in - if you've got all day. Trying to find anything specific is hard; and the quality of advice is highly variable. However - it is what it is, and some like it that way; probably those who have been using it regularly for many years and have developed a proprietorial feeling towards it.
This site is different; it may have its faults but if the forum were to be where most work was posted it wouldn't be a forum any more; you would lose work in a matter of seconds; you wouldn't be able to navigate it in any way effectively; the whole site would become a mess of illogicality and random postings which would make our spam problems wither away into irrelevance by comparison.

I agree with the comments above regarding gallery and forum. Totally different. POL works very well.
I have been a WetCanvas user for years and although I am quite a numptie on computer stuff, I do manage to find my way round it. Yes it is huge but "international" not just US, although the mani usage is american, but so what? I have made a few good contacts in there and still post my new stuff, especially since I have a new style and still learning.
I went on one of their painting weeks for watercolourists and it was brilliant, in Dorset. Once again great organisation all done by Brits. When I mooted in here the idea of POL doing it, there wasn't a lot of interest.

I appreciate members views, that paintings need to go in the gallery, but jI would like to respond to the request of of a new member. In order to stop the dog's tail looking like an extension of it's nose, a little aerial perspective needs to be applied. this means that the dark part of the tail needs to be a little paler and bluer. the light part of the tail needs to be darker and bluer. this will make it fade into the distance.
