As someone who grew up with a parent who is an art teacher and painter, I've always been interested in and inspired by traditional painters. I've looked around and couldn't find a thread like this, so here it is. In this thread we'll discuss great painters throughout history and post their art.
[B][U]A few rules before we begin:[/U][/B]
⌘ [I]Use thumbnail tags. ( [noparse][t][/t][/noparse] )[/I]
⌘ [I]When you post a painting, make sure you include the painters name in your post.[/I]
⌘ [I]Include a link to the painters wikipedia page, or something equivalent.[/I]
⌘ [I]Also try to leave some quick information like what country the painter was from and what years the painter was born and died.[/I]
⌘ [I]No digital or modern art is allowed in this thread.[/I]
⌘ [I][B]Traditional/Classic art only![/B][/I]
I'll post a few works of some of my favorite painters to start up the thread.

[editline]wtf read the op before posting, you filthy cur[/editline]
[QUOTE=Mr.Egg;42634585][URL="http://www.tommartinpaintings.com/"]Tom Martin[/URL] Realism painter[/QUOTE]
I don't think this qualifies as traditional art considering the artists methods and style. Either way, can you atleast thumbnail the images?
How would it not "qualify" as traditional art? I don't think it qualifies for this thread though..
The artist in question utilizes spraypaint and other unconventional methods such as using aluminum composite panels instead of canvas.
[editline]pu$$y[/editline]
It's not classic art and that's why I don't think it belongs in this thread.
