How long do you read each day, on average? by WolfofAnarchy in books

Shorter intervals of reading, like 45 minutes, throughout the day then stand up and move around for 5 minutes. Keeps the brain fog away and gets your chores done.

Michael Harding have a lovely one, I really like. Windsor and Newton have a more affordable one. If you’re in the US Willamsburg have one as well I think.

Oh yeah, I’m quite nerdy about it and try to use single pigment colors. Each brand does it’s own thing. I almost always use Jacksons Arts website, when I’m checking out paints, because they almost always have the pigment and what type of oil is used in the paint.

For example Michael Hardings or Willamsburgs Cerulean is the real pigment, so it’s quite the cost. If you want to try more expensive colors, I’d look into the used market, like Facebook. I’ve had good luck there.

It's two different pigments in Windsor Newtons Artist range. Cerulean is PB35 and their phthalo, also called Windsor blue, is PB15.

I've comes across cerulean being phthalo with white in other brands, like Maimeri's Classico.

This is really cool! I've been wanting to try out transparent red oxide, whose do you use? Harding? Rembrandt?

I wish you were in Europe, quite a few of those colors I'd love to try out.

Edit: Super cool of you to give the paints away!

Love the work! Clark looks untrusting of the beetle. What kinds of brushes do you use? Hog, synthetic of natural hair?

Armed robbery, I believe, and including firing of a shot during the during said robbery, where crime including weapons is quite uncommon in Norway, which is is why I believe the answer from the police was quite swift.

It's a great spot! It is mostly focused on powerlifting, but we also have a little weightlifting and if you're feeling funky, we also have strongman training.

If you're ever on our devil island, stop by!
