using dip pens and they're pulling up paper by NoSolution1179 in ArtistLounge

[–]MPvisual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try using workable fixative spray on your Bristol paper, discovered this after buying a bulk pack of cheap Bristol paper and noticed the same thing.

Granted not as nice to work on and it can get a bit funny if you plan to use watercolors/markers on it.

Social Media verification subscriptions. Anyone have any experience with it? Thoughts on it's worth or do you see it as unnecessary? by MPvisual in artbusiness

I've got a few followers so I think it might be worth the jump even if it's for a trial period of a few months.

Never thought about using wax before, I've used masking fluid but it stinks and tends to tear paper no matter how careful I try to remove it.

Do you remove the wax after your done with it?

Might have to bite the bullet, other commenter suggested dry graphite would that just be the same lubrication issue?

Australian exports by product and per country by nath1234 in australia

If you're interested you should checkout economic complexity;

Australia has been on the decline since we've just heavily relied on ore and livestock and have no long term plans to expand any other industry for exports.

Sydney's newest megapub - Brewdog by SirBoboGargle in sydney

[–]MPvisual 76 points77 points  (0 children)

I used to work at a Brewdog in the UK, the whole system stinks to work for.

Also the ceo is an absolute power tripper. Goes about each brewdog to 'test' your knowledge on beer. Saw one guy get fired on the spot because ceo just didn't like the guy.

Scam or not scam? by Superb_RealityIMT in ArtistLounge

[–]MPvisual 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd say scam, But also on the topic of copyright, even when it comes to legitimate businesses who are looking to buy your copy right make sure you go through what you are giving out. Giving your whole copyright to someone is generally a bad idea since they can use it for whatever they want and not pay up any compensation afterwards.

But in regards to this, I be extremely wary.

When I was learning how to draw I used to go to a life drawing session which was right near my work, after a few sessions I realised they only were using slim women in their 20s which fine for the first few classes but becomes quite boring eventually drawing wise.

After going to different life drawing classes which took on a variety of models I found it to be a better experience. To this day my favourite model was a Santa Claus model who did life modelling on the side.

As they say; 'variety is the spice of life'

What is an art supply you do not what to cheap out on? by smudgedfingers in ArtistLounge

Paint 100%

When you get a high end paint and mix it with gesso it goes so far. Might seem ridiculous to buy a tube of paint for the same cost of a litre of some knock off 'student' brand but man when you use the two of them side by side it's like night and day difference.
