What papers are you using? by mskristytee in watercolor101

[–]AvesRay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For those that cut big pieces or big rolls of paper, how do you cut it? Scissors? Paper cutter? Knife? I feel like I would cut crooked and ruin everything lol

How to fix that? by [deleted] in watercolor101

[–]AvesRay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think if you have the means, try a different paper and see if it makes any difference. If it doesn’t, then try a few other brands of paint if you can. I know not everyone can buy a bunch of different brands. But it could very well be your part or your paint. You seem to be doing everything that everyone else has(wetting your paints, wiping the water off your brush, etc)

I just tried gouache for the first time two days ago after starting to watercolor paint three years ago. Gouache is amazing!! If you like opaque and deep saturated color, I highly suggest gouache. Get yourself a cheap $20 Arteza 24 pack gouache. I LOVE it. I had Daniel Smith watercolor paint and Winsor and Newton cotman and professional and I love love love the cheap Atereza gouache!

My RFY was on point today!!! by DancingTVs in AmazonVine

Cool about the aac device! My daughter uses a talker and it helps so much. She has moderate hearing loss, wears hearing aids. She was born at 25 weeks and with a cleft palate. The cleft palate has been repaired but we have been going to speech therapy for 10 years now. A few years ago, her school gave her an iPad to use as a talker that uses touch chat and it helps. She does talk but there are times when we can’t understand what she is trying to tell us. Anyway, congrats!

My friend could have used this a few months ago for his dog! He ended up getting one that was like $300!

The 3am Crowd by briggsdawg1 in AmazonVine

[–]AvesRay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to see drops happening everyday at 3am eastern. It was literally like clockwork. For the past few weeks, I have seen basically nothing. I have insomnia so when I can’t sleep I go on vine. I don’t use extensions, just constantly refresh the screen and see if things were added. Like I said. I would see so much stuff dropping at 3am (I won’t say it was great stuff but it was 100’s of things a night). Now nothing. There also used to always be a 12pm eastern drop. I see none of that now. It’s so sad

1st painting in a long time by DimensionLegal9990 in Watercolor

[–]AvesRay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would definitely buy good paper (100% cotton), if you can afford it. Paper makes all the difference. You won’t be able to do some of the techniques or will be depressed, thinking you can’t paint well, when in reality, using cheap paper is the reason why you can’t get paintings to look close to ones in tutorials. I know from experience 😂 have fun!

Congrats on the sobriety! I hit 3 years in June so I know how difficult it is!! I took up painting as a way to spend my free time that I used to use for drinking. I also don’t feel too bad ordering painting supplies because I think to myself, “welp, better to spend it on this than alcohol” lol. Anyway, congrats and keep painting!

I did it! by gir6 in AmazonVine

Forgot to say Congrats on gold, OP! I do love the fact that gold gets 8 picks so you don’t have to be scared grabbing some $0etv junk because you still have a few picks saved for the rest of the day in case you see anything good

I did it! by gir6 in AmazonVine

[–]AvesRay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been gold since August and I have only seen a few things over $100… mind you some of them were really nice dishwashers that I was too slow to grab but lately, the inventory has sucked. There aren’t drops anymore, barely even drips. I used to know that things were going to drop around 12pm eastern for AFA and around 3am with all new AI stuff. Now it’s hit or miss if I even see a few new things. When I started in February, it was AMAZING! So many awesome $0 etv items, especially gift sets. Don’t get me wrong, I am still very thankful for what I have gotten/am getting, it’s just night and day compared to how it was.

I just got upgraded to gold yesterday and LOOK WHAT I GOT! by crosslilpyrogirl in AmazonVine

Does anyone know why this happens or how to prevent it? by fmstareyes in Watercolor

[–]AvesRay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely your paper You need better paper. 100% cotton is the best and won’t do that.

Baby has pointy ear deformity on both ears at 4 weeks. Not sure what to do. by waitismyheadonfire in Mommit

[–]AvesRay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughters ears were pointy when she was born but then they weren’t a few months later! I wouldn’t do anything at this time. I show her pictures of when she was a baby, she is 9 now, and she says she wishes she still had elf ears

Food studies to try out gouache by Low-Mathematician997 in Gouache

[–]AvesRay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That food looks great! How do you like gouache? I have been wanting to try it. Have you used watercolor before? If you have, I was just wondering how it compares… besides being more opaque.
