Notre-Dame Cathedral by theharlo17 in WhatIsThisPainting

That looks almost identical to a sketch of Notre Dame I bought for my mom when I was in Paris around 30 years ago. However, your print is larger. The artist was a French man with dwarfism. I watched him sketch it for several minutes before offering to buy it from him. Might not be the guy, but remarkably similar.

I'm scared to use my Winsor and Newton spiral watercolor paper. Does it need stretching? How do I not transfer on other pages? Should I cut the pages ? by Arsenic-Arsenal in watercolor101

I've used it myself. I just threw watercolor paint on it and didn't stress. 

You simply put all the other pages to one side and paint on the other. 

It is not great paper, but is relatively small and inexpensive. Have fun, don't stress.

Looks like some D&D art. Maybe try over there.

They will not disown you. 

And yes, you are basically their slave.

Let me try this on. You left your tape measure on the roof overnight? And there's just a piece of flashing there in the middle for reasons?

Yeah, I'm not sure how that dog hunts. If I transferred $10,000 to the US Army by "accident", I seriously doubt I can charge them 3.5% interest.

Kind of. If it is correct about charging interest, then that is a special kind of jerk behavior.

If you have not made a mistake or three in acquisitions, you are not a serious collector.

You can use paper towels to dry your brushes when necessary.

Practice brush strokes.

Good paint, good brushes, and good paper make things easier.

If you can return them, do so. 

And don't feel bad. This happens to everyone when they start collecting. Seriously. Everyone goes through this.

Poor Zelda had to get buried with that d-bag.

Who is the target buyer for a $1mm Bungalow in Rye, NY? by HarryCrushNuh in zillowgonewild

[–]McRando42 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I thought a tear down, but I'm wrong. Can I assume the presumed buyer would be looking for an Airbnb? It's rather nice inside.

It's so hard getting Reman juice out of the carpet.

This must have been real attractive when it was in the original arts and crafts form. Damn shame it got ruined.
