I get the feeling that the collaborative painting part of the Paintshop doesn't really works because there are a lot of aggressive, less creative, painters that like to bash the other contributors.
The quality, and that of course is completely according to my personal values, is not that high. I think the painting more often don't transcend the 'material' and remain some scribbles on the screen. Also, the more successful creations have a more deliberate concept behind them.
I'm not claiming to have made the best 'paintings' and before I select the things I like from other contributors I'll show what I have created, at least the ones I think the most successful:

Brisbain I like the idea of the overpainting, creating the shapes from the outside in. Also the shapes hint at a figuration which is an idea that i'm working on lately |
Brittle Art A reaction to a collaborative spat that turned sour. |
