Dead website
December 3, 2020

The website seems dead. The threads I am interested in haven't been updated in months. I tried to join anyways to see old posted pictures and links but then was denied for no apparent reason. Don't waste your time.

The forums on Wet Canvas are very useful.
However, after six attempts to join only to be immediately deleted before I had even signed in, I cannot understand how anybody can join.
I know, why don't I just use the contact form, right? Because no matter how carefully you type in the captcha image, it comes back as a fail.
As Ray H says, this is for some cliche that I don't even know how to join.

Wet Canvas is for all sorts of art. The site includes product reviews, help, how-to's, as well as an extensive forum. The forums are filled with all sorts of artists who are happy to help.

The only problem I've had there is the occasional condescension from a few artists on chosen mediums. However, the moderators have quickly stepped in, as the site is dedicated to open discussion of all mediums used for art.

Lots of artists
February 2, 2016

This is a huge site... and when I say huge I mean HUGE. You will find anything and everything there, all mediums, critique sections, all styles, art business, digital art etc etc and all of them are separate forums. You can find beginners and well known artists, hobbyists and passionate painters.If you don't like one community then you can move to another it's plenty of space for you to chose.

I really dont like for people, any people, to refuse me upfront. I wanted to join the Wetcanvas community as I just started drawing and painting but after registering the administration simply removed my, just filled in, profile before I could even post something! There's some bad moderation going on over there as I tried to register again right away and the same thing happened. I did also send 3 messages via the 'Contact us' option but they didnt even bother to answer me about the reason of refusal. To me this isnt a very good start of my participating there! Heaps of artist to share and learn from to find yourself BOMBED by some stupid administrators rendering their godstatus instead of letting creative souls enter!
