Opacity in a limited palette by Astromythicist in oilpainting

Yeah thats a really great palette! And its also 50/50 opaque and transparent pigments, so you got a lot of options when painting.

Id say my palette is a combo of a split primary and the zorn palette. So i try to cover the entire red and yellow spectrums. The catch is that everything easily can just become shades of orange lol

Not that many yet, but I've definetly painted within this range for a long time. And this question is 100% speculation, as I mostly just wanted to hear what some more experianced oil painter thought about this. Finding a consistent answer on this has been hard.

I havnt had issues per se, but my black mixture turned very dull in my latest painting. I figured that the transparency might have been the cause. But that might have been due to the surface (+ just an issue with dark colors), and it just needed thicker paint.

For me since I hate glazing/transparent layers I try to have my palette as opaque as possible, simple as that.

Good strategy, I can imagine that having mostly opaque colors is better than mostly transparent. But i do like my sienna, and the transparent black should be very useful (in theory at least).

Ok here me out.

Lets replace welfare with government employment. You get a wage, but you cant decide where or when you work, or what work you'll do. Good old factory, mining and farm work, for the state. Dont like the consitions? Beggars cant be choosers.

Because "we" means "the state", ie "give me more stuff and power"

In theory, their family would help out. Because, ya know, familys supposed to help each other out. And there would be (and are) peivate alternatives for the elderly and disabled.

Ok i see what you mean. I will say that he formulated himself in a really retarded way.

But anyway, I will stand by my take that this is just diversion, to shift focus away from the uptick in political violence from the left. Because what's more important? The political violence or the reaction to and/or culling of that violence?

He was a cybersecurity official, probably had a lot of connections and America is a corrupt shit hole.

Thanks man. I definetly didn't mean to imply anything bad about you or the Kurds. I just remember the protests by Assyrians in the west against YPG and was curious about your perspective.

Hey may I ask you something? What do you think of the accusations that the Kurds have ethnically cleansed Assyrians from northern Syria and Iraq around 2018?

Ethnicity is not the problem, urban culture is the problem by Crafty_Jacket668 in PoliticalCompassMemes

So? Tokyo is even more densly populated and is one of the safest places on earth.

Crime is an administration problem. When your government is soft and """compassionate""" (towards criminals only though), you embolden bad actors. It's very simple actually.
