I am an aspiring artist and have been a Christian for more than 20 years and am looking for good examples of Christian art to learn from. Does anyone know of a site that has good Christian art?

"Art" is a wide field.

"Painting" is even a wide field...

What kind of art you doing? Singing? Making soundtracks? Stone sculpture? Clay sculpture? Comic strips? (Don't knock it! Those are art too...)

Personally, my focus is in comic and manga style. I'd love to hone my skills to do concept art as well
I like anime, of the clean and wholesome variety only, but don't do art. It is cool that we have a fellow person with a taste in anime/manga. What's your favorite anime or manga? My favorite anime is Hunter X Hunter, or anything classic by Studio Ghibli, though I like One Piece as well.

If you Google Christian anime art you'll see some awesome stuff.

Tina Bradford. She understood composition -- something almost no "artist" seems to have a full grasp of today. I might also recommend Kent Wallis.

I've only worked with watercolors and acrylics not oils. I'd love to learn oils but I don't have a space I can dedicate to the task

I used to paint with oils and they are messy and costly and yes the supplies take up space; same
with acrylics, pencils, chalk, inks, etc etc etc. That's one of the great things about digital art: the
space required is Hard Drive, only requiring a device that can run an editing program
.:D. And then
the HD space to store all the work you create, and the ephemera you will use in the design process...
The ephemera itself is free, too! Many sites offer such things, and do not require accreditation.

Not to mention the drying time on digital art is hard to beat! :D

God also uses skill. If things were that easy, we'd be supermen at everything.

Studying visual composition takes years. It is, unfortunately, the thing lacking in "art" today, and hence I do not call what we have today art.

HI Gojira do you paint, and what do you like to paint?

Yeah... NO time for me at all. But, that will hopefully change within 10 years. If not, then after I resurrect.

I was also thinking of opening a Christian Art topic where we can all post images of churches or any other inspirational images in natures or anything in this reality really.
I searched for an existing topic but I didn't find one.

@Magenta what do you think about having a Christian Art topic? Do you have any pictures you can share about nature, animals or anything else?

Thanks.
