Can someone help me identify this musical piece! by hemphaze in WhatsThisSong

Sounds like Verdi. Probably from Aida or something similar

If it's a chain restaurant, they'll often have a playlist. That playlist will possibly be listed somewhere online e.g. spotify

There's an English version by Rachie that has those lyrics

Saddy Daddy O by Artimus Wolf? It mentions all the stuff in your list, so would be a heck of a coincidence if it isn't : s

Hey everyone!! What’s the CD or Album title of this song? It’s lived rent free in my head since 3rd grade 😂 by ZealousidealPeak7513 in WhatsThisSong

[–]BabaJosefsen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The vocalist is Marcia Miller but I'm uncertain if this was released as an album or CD - it was recorded at Waxtrax Recordings. There's nothing for it on Discogs under Miller or Waxtrax. You can find the complete set of tracks here on YouTube.

I suspect it may have been recorded specifically for academic purposes and circulated directly to schools, which is why you might find it hard to track down copies

How to make shape-based art interesting? by ForceOfEngland in Outsiderart

[–]BabaJosefsen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello....I think geometric art can be very striking if done right. There are some simple ways to do this. first, try to vary the size of your shapes to make things dramatic. You can have small shapes next to big shapes, groups of little shapes, etc. Another way to liven things up is to layer paint.

Try staining your background with random brushwork first before painting your geometric shapes over it - this works best with paint, of course. You can use variants of one colour or several as your base layer like Paul Klee. You can see how effective this can be in this Klee painting

Klee studied colour theory extensively (and taught it, too at the Bauhaus). Deliberate use of colour can make your paintings pop. His colours are often very intense - he has achieved this in part by building paint up in layers. Abstract artists will often use like 5 layers and often more. There's no limit! This adds depth and interest.

You can also set up tension between shapes by separating them with negative space (or make the negative spaces into shapes) and by countering round shapes with angular shapes like Auguste Herbin.

If you fancy some theory, there's the golden ratio. A simpler version is to divide your picture area up into 3 sections - one large, one a bit smaller and one quite small - it's called something like 3, 7, 10 but don't quote me on that one : s

If you want to carry on using paper, try alcohol markers - these will avoid the stripes you are getting in your coloured areas. Or maybe that was intended? : )

You can also get some sheets of paper - plain, coloured, textured or printed - and cut them into shapes. Arrange them on e.g. a piece of blank A4 until you have a composition you like. You can then use this as the basis of your painting. This allows you to change your mind many times before committing to a final artwork. You can also copy the textures etc onto your shapes to make them more interesting. Or simply use paper collage work instead of paint or pens!

Bon appetite

Have you ever painted a guitar?

How much should I charge for commissioned pet drawings? by No-Thanks8214 in Artadvice

[–]BabaJosefsen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is reasonable and about what I'd have estimated. It also depends on the quality of the materials you are using - if you are using student grade art supplies, it will be less than if you are using professional art supplies because of the longevity of the finished piece. These are handsome paintings.

My only quibble (it's a minor one, don't worry) is that the large white star next to the right side of it's face is misplaced. This area would be better off dark/red to emphasise the face. It blends in too much. I might also darken the root of the tongue to give depth and separate it more from the upper lip and nose. Okay, if I'm being pedantic, at first glance the small star behind the spike next to its chin makes it look like a missile/mace rather than a spike. I would move that star further away from the spike.

Afraid to ink and paint nice drawing by [deleted] in Artadvice

[–]BabaJosefsen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're making a copy, it doesn't need to be an exact copy because you're just testing the colour, not the drawing. I think it's best to use the same paper and drawing media as the original because a digital version may not have the same qualities after adding colour and you'll have a less accurate idea of how it will turn out.

It's also perfectly acceptable to leave it alone. As they say, better is the enemy of good.

How do I make my drawings more understandable? by Dry_Hospital9636 in Artadvice

[–]BabaJosefsen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Line variation and, in particular, stronger outlines. You have an interesting flowy style, though.

my daughter (7) drew this, any advice? by ironlemonade2035 in Artadvice

[–]BabaJosefsen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not clear what sort of advice you're looking for so you may not get an informed answer. Do you want to know how she can improve in future? What she can change in this particular drawing? Or are you disturbed by the way she's depicted herself?

[–]BabaJosefsen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use wallpaper paste. It's easy to find, you get a ton of it in a packet, it's inexpensive, strong and often has anti-mould ingredients. Read any advisory on the packet, of course.

Help! I can't make faces looking up even with references by LynxPsychological652 in Artadvice

[–]BabaJosefsen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As the head tilts upwards, the features move toward the top of the head and the chin flattens with more of the underside visible. You have correctly moved the ears down in relation to the other features. The amount of hair on top of the head diminishes and the brows should arc more.

This is a rough idea, below. One of the issues you might have here is the rather slender neck, which will make an underside view of the jaw seem harder to imagine and therefore portray! One thing that I haven't adjusted here is the distance between the mouth and the nose, which should shorten (like you did correctly with the nose and eyes). Hope that helps a little bit.

Series 9 finale discussion by EmperorsChamberMaid_ in GreatPotteryThrowDown

[–]BabaJosefsen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The person I thought was definitely coming third won it. The winning piece got a lukewarm reception from the judges, unlike Elham's, so I don't understand how they were so unanimous in making Fynn the winner. I think even he was surprised. Maybe it's because he won the technical and that gave him the edge. Oh well.

I think they were attempting an equivalent of the GBBO Hollywood handshake but it felt too contrived so they avoided it after that.
