I've been visiting the website for over a year now, and would love to participate eventually. But I wonder if this site allows people to register under a pseudonym or "nom de plume" (would that be "nom de pinceau" for painters?).
I'm not a full-time painter but a hobbyist, yet for professional and just general privacy reasons I'm not keen on participating under my real name. I admire everyone here who does, yet I'm sure there are other visitors who like me have qualms about putting their identity on the WWW. Perhaps for professional artists, especially those seeking additional commissions, this might not be an issue. Just wondering...
Sorry, I missed it. The policy is for each artist to use their real name. Often on Forums, people hide behind a "handle" and we simply prefer things out in the open. Also, many artists here are quite known in the field and it can be to their benefit to use their real name.
