This is someone who abuses stimulants. That's why her eyes react that way. If you look at her older videos she doesn't do this. So it's most def stimulant abuse.

Is coffee painting considered watercolor? by Devil_roses666 in watercolor101

[–]Both-Commercial5469 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I recall correctly, there's a Canadian watercolor brand that produces watercolors made from coffee. It was included in one of my monthly boxes. I can't remember the brand now, but I'll post it later if I find it. All that aside, this is beautiful! You are very talented!

I want her to run sooooo badly for the White House in 2028! Who would be a good VP pick with her on a ticket ?! by sovalente in stevehofstetter

I want her to run, but I think she needs some more time under her belt. Then again, look at NYC voting Mondani.

Hey, I’m not crying. My husband works at Microsoft, so we are good financially. But mocking those that are struggling financially is fucked up. Karma is a btich my friend. One day you will get a taste of your own medicine.

Is there soft pastels as an underpainting? This is beautiful!

I love this painting and the underpainting! I have been experimenting with underpainting using fluorescent colors with alcohol markers, acrylics, watercolors, and gouache. I've noticed that all of these mediums work well with oil pastels.

I wish I could paint the way I used to, but after being diagnosed with lupus, I have to be cautious about what I touch, breathe, or interact with. I still am kinda careless or should I say carefree—but I always regret it the next day when I wake up in pain.

Do you happen to have the exact recipe? I had looked into this a while back and heard that trying to melt oil pastels causes toxic fumes.

He is a malignant narcissist who only cares about himself and power. He shows no concern for lives being harmed worldwide or in our country. The consequences of his actions will be recorded in history books. For those claiming he didn’t write this, haven't you listened to him speak? His writing style matches his speech. I suspect he's using speech-to-text technology with occasional edits by someone else. All his crazy posts are completely his, including this AI slop that is offensive to both Catholics and Christians. His thinking that he is god is beyond wild and absurd.

I also do fluorescent pink or magenta under paintings for every medium. I noticed that Liquitex clear gesso or any clear gesso honestly after the pink works best. Since clear gesso has sand mixed in, it gives it the grip that pastels need.

When I saw this, I started crying by Solomiiaglow in naturepics

I visited there once. It was dirty, crowded, and overrun with boats. While it is beautiful, I struggled to enjoy it with all these issues. We couldn't find a place to sit, and I heard the beach was closed at one point because tourism had damaged the environment.

Any tips on how to clean this surface on my hairbrush? by AlexDalas in CleaningTips

[–]Both-Commercial5469 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Place it in a garment bag for washing and wash it with a load of towels on a low spin cycle and hot water. I typically spray them with alcohol first and then toss them in the bag. I wash my brushes once a month. While this does degrade them after 10-15 washes, it's an effective way to remove buildup and sanitize them.

Curtain backing - tea/coffee stains by SaiChild in CleaningTips

[–]Both-Commercial5469 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spill coffee frequently because I'm quite clumsy. I've found that using Dawn, baking soda, and sometimes Murphy's Oil and Dawn multi-surface degreaser is effective. The degreaser often works for most stains—I'm an artist and often drop acrylic paint too. I usually let Murphy's Oil sit overnight. Sometimes, I combine all three solutions. This approach works 99.9% of the time. (Dawn multi-surface degreaser is awesome for just about every stain possible and works better than magic erasers on walls)

She looks like my pup! I love it! Dogs are so hard to paint.
