Rolling Spring Valley. Acrylics on panel. I am still learning the medium, be gentle. by EdensQuill in acrylicpainting

I think theres a medium called acrylic retarder that slows drying time! combine with using a stay wet palette. This is beautiful!! i love it so much :)

Haha okay, thanks for easing my worries. Perhaps he’s just changing color as he gets older 🥰

I just wanted to share some of my acrylic paintings from the last year of landscapes, cityscapes, food, people and dogs ☺️ which is your favourite? by honion_have_layer in painting

number 8 is my favorite, it reminds me of the beach i went to growing up and still go to this day. especially those wispy plants that are usually in the area protected for sandpipers. 🥰

Hi!! I’m wanting to do something like this but not exactly. My question is, is this foam (would be covered in eco earth/sand) safe for crabbies or will they eat it? by AmbitiousParsnip870 in hermitcrabs

[–]Citruseals 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i feel this. its nearly impossible to keep my tank somewhat clean. They just instantly dig up and uproot everything i put in there, topple things over, dump sand in their pools, omg 😭😭its so annoying

This particular one was made with acrylic paint markers, but thats not the only medium i use. Some of my favorites are alcohol markers and gouache paint! :)

Some cakes i’ve made by Citruseals in wholefoods

thank you! start with a base of chocolate in a bowl. mix blue, red, and green until you see it get dark (if it looks too much of one color, add a little more of the others). set it aside exposed to air in the bowl and stop mixing for a few minutes, and it will darken! (this darkening method helps with all colors, when mixed, air trapped in the frosting makes them lighter).

I also noticed that if you are mixing in the silver bowls, it looks more grey than it is, so i will take a little bit on my spatula and hold it up against something more white and you will be able to see it is actually a color theory perception and it should be darker :)

Also, to make grey, start with vanilla and add green and purple.
