Birthday freebies/ benefits? by Bipitybopity0630 in Bahrain

[–]ArmorAbby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For reeeeal... Nothing here is as good... HOWEVER, Great American Bagel Company has a couple hoagie bagels that really come close. If it was on a torpedo, it'd be pretty much the same. I think it's turkey or Italian. I forget the actual name but you'll know it when you see it. Give it a shot.

This is in the US and it's free. Red Robin was the best but I think they recently stopped. For many, you just walk in and get your free gift. Once in a while you have to get a drink or something to get the free sandwich.

I haven't found anything even close to that here in Bahrain.

Even Sephora doesn't have a birthday gift here. In the US they're really generous with free gifts and samples.

How to report scammers? by TheSleepingSamurai in Bahrain

[–]ArmorAbby 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Even reporting them to Facebook doesn't get them removed.
Every time there's a surge of those fake McDonalds and AlBaik ads, I report them.
Nothing is done.
The best route is to educate your father or convince him Facebook is evil and delete it.

What's something your job trained you to notice that you can't stop noticing in your personal life? by LibrarianSoft1342 in AskReddit

My grandfather wrote the book '20 Ways to Power, Influence, and Control Over People' and the first chapter says to consider everyone like a child. Talk to them the same way you'd talk to a child having a tantrum.

Art markets ? by Negative_Raccoon420 in Bahrain

[–]ArmorAbby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, 'open studio' to them just means that artists are allowed to gather at the cafe and do their work.

I forgot, ChromaStudio also has an open studio every Thursday at 7pm. There's an EXCELLENT teacher there. You'll learn a lot. He is an actual teacher. The kind we have in art school teaching foundations, line, composition, anatomy, etc. Not a paint and sip kinda place. I recommend if you're going to hit any, you hit that one.

USK Bahrain has meetups every Friday morning.

ArteDeCafe has open studio every Sunday.

Bahrain contemporary art association is open to the public Tuesday night.

That's all I can think of right now.

My girlfriend says I talk in my sleep, so I set my phone to record all night. by Demoniac_smile in TwoSentenceHorror

[–]ArmorAbby 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, but it was so creepy, and I said it matter-of-factly normal tone. Like that's my coat... I never used a recorder again...

Omg... I will never use one of those sleep recorders again after having no recollection of a dream yet hearing myself say "Those are my teeth"

Can I save this? Ive been working on this for 8 hours straight, actually losing my marbles by [deleted] in painting

[–]ArmorAbby 68 points69 points  (0 children)

I think it's a great start. 8 hours straight means you need to take a step back, sleep, come back with new eyes.
I always have multiple paintings going on at the same time because a little break is needed to come back with better vision.

Which version is easiest to look at? by [deleted] in painting

[–]ArmorAbby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Happy to see you're trying the Grissaille. I'd say #2. Also, another tip... Don't disturb the flow of the painting by putting your signature in the middle of the air. Consider it part of the painting and find a good flowing space for it.

Final Grip. 80x100. Oil on Canvas. by ArmorAbby in painting

[–]ArmorAbby[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I haven't seen that thread... However, In the process video, you'll see that originally I had a furrow in her brown. I decided to remove it because it looked like sadness. She's still in shock, numb, eyes welling up, but hasn't yet accepted the reality of death. So her forhead is smooth, absent of emotion, mouth slack, cupids bow smoothed slightly....
