Hey! Long time artist here who paints all kinds of things, from metal lawn art to actual paintings. Rule number one- wash your bushes out in cool water, not hot or warm, as hot water can loosen the glue that holds the bristles in. Second get a small tub of brush restorer. A little goes a long way. Once the brush is dry, add a little brush restorer and reshape the tip and bristles. You can use sharp sizzors to clip and stray brush hairs that won't stay in place. And keep paining!
Yes! And it's easier to watch what thier hands are doing when you aim low! Plus most poeple miss high so your shots will still hit the torso. I started training myself to aim for lower gut, instead of center mass when I target shoot.
I use a alcohol swab on my phone everyday after work. I get em in bulk and just wipe my phone down. Quick and disposable so I can take a bunch with me when I travel.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't tape a hose in it's mouth, that's illegal. You have a two fold problem. Your husband holds negative viewpoints about women, and your daughter. Your daughter has internalized those ideas. College or not, your daughter is being set up so she will always be reliant on a man. It may do her good to leave for college, any college, just so she might experience a broader prespective.
Unfortunately I just had emergency gallbladder surgery after spending my entire summer out of work and thinking I was dying. I have nothing to give right now.
Too much green can be a problem in a painting. I like the tree behind it, but maybe you could tone it down darker and cut the bright green. That would also make the top of the ornament pop more.
I'm the opposite, lots of rapid fire photos, but I do photo a lot of animals. I don't pose them either. I like candid shots of the pets doing there thing.
Good for her, I'm glad her and her fellow chefs are standing up for the kids. Amazing how we went from every fetus is a valuable, beautiful person, to fuck the kids, let them starve.
I would say under ten years if we are talking about staying in "life as we know it." Global food supplies are at risk. We are going to see mass die offs in large portions of the ocean. AMOC and the Jet stream will continue to wobble around causing mayhem. Coastale areas will become eroded and huge portions of the infrastructure will become unfixable as the disasters come too frequently for any real, long term repairs to remain.
Think about that term, tipping piont. Tipping does not imply a gentle decent.
For fine tip miniature work I have also put cheap hair gel on the brush tip to hold the piont. Milage may vary based on bushtype and technique.
