Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

Less than a year. I have not used any other painting software. This is great so far, although I use like 10 percent of its features.
Cool cool. Im happy there are more and more free and open source tools for every need out there :)
That is the main reason actually, if there exists a FOSS for something, I don't even try the proprietary stuff.
Stunning
Thank you!
Those colors! π
thank you! warm tones are fun to paint.
I don't comment a lot but now I have to: I really like it!
Thank you, that's very kind of you!
That's beautiful, I would love to go for a walk there π
Haha nice. Greenery is good for our mood.
That's awesome
Thanks!
Beautiful!
Glad to hear it. Thanks π
That is lovely!
I'm glad you liked it. Thanks!
I think you've really captured that beautiful sunset glow here. The golden hour. Nice work! :)
That's the best time of the day-
I love it, great job! I especially like the highlights! Are the puffballs on the side of the road meant to be a particular plant? Thistle perhaps?
Yeah, some kind of puffballs. I kinda added those as an afterthought. I'm from a desert adjacent town and there is a type of puffy buds that grows besides streets. yellow flowers in the beginning and then it turns into those buds, which release a lot of feathery puffiness. I don't know the proper name of the flower even in my native language but they are close to Thistle, sure.
That could describe a pretty good number of species, but I'm going to take a whack at a couple hardy ones that get kinda tall. Could be Sow Thistle https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonchus or Cats Ears https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypochaeris
There's always Dandelions for yellow flowers that turn to puffballs, of course, but they generally have a low habit.
I think it's close to Sonchus, if not exactly that. I'll try to spot it in the community park, next time I go there, they probably don't weed it out and it's found near the boundary walls.
Sounds good! Sow thistle is cool. There's three main varieties. It's a really hardy plant, edible when boiled, and it has a really neat straw-like hollow stem. I know they're a weed, but I'm really rather fond of them.
yes, I find them pleasant on the eyes as well. Everything that isn't plastic, adds some aesthetic value to the environment.
Beautiful. Whenever I open painting software I'm overwhelmed by the number of options. What kind of brushes did you use?
Dry bristles, it's one of the default Paint brushes in krita. I variated the opacity and flow while working on this.
What a beautiful sky β€οΈ
thanks Dude!
