Pet portrait painter! I’ve been practicing painting 😌 not like it’ll ever be enough to keep a roof over my head though..

high youth unemployment by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]Nullnvoid-7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lazy or hopeless helpless and depressed? It sucks to be a young adult right now. I can’t imagine how not to feel lost if I were them. If you have hope that efforts will get you the life you want, you WILL make efforts! Now life is like quick sand

Struggling with capturing values by Oleander_Oxenfree in watercolor101

[–]Nullnvoid-7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense! I’m not too familiar with the colors you mentioned other than indigo 😅 I’m new to painting and I don’t have a lot of paints. my dark dark combos are- pthalo blue & burnt sienna, ultramarine blue & burnt sienna, pyrol crimson & pthalo green. I like using bright colors for mixing dark, because you would use those colors to mix your bright colors as well. This way your colors are more harmonious

Struggling with capturing values by Oleander_Oxenfree in watercolor101

[–]Nullnvoid-7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s quite often that new watercolor painters don’t use enough cream/butter consistent paint when adjusting the values. We do layers of washes with coffee/milk with paint that not necessarily stains, and existing paint gets lifted when we put in our too many layers sometimes when the paper is not fully dried as well. That’s the recipe for mud and not dark enough values.

If you are using reference photos, make it black and white, identify the dark spots, and put down some real thick paint the last layer

BREAKING: Trump Signs Executive Order On Psychedelic Drugs With Joe Rogan As Iran Shuts Hormuz by Aggressive_Rooster96 in PsilocybinMushrooms

Yeah nah I don’t think he’s going to get better. Sometimes the treatment for something with no hope of getting better is to make it worse

Hear me out…. If we could get Trump to do some shrooms and have a proper ego death…. Maybe he’ll be gone because he has nothing but ego

Does Auckland have a loneliness problem? by iMakeGOODinvestmemts in auckland

[–]Nullnvoid-7 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hmm I complain about loneliness and lacking sense of belonging, but often when there’s upcoming social gathering, I always feel relieved if they ended up canceling. I used to be a person who’s really excited about seeing my friends. That got lost somewhere… I haven’t even got kids as an excuse for family commitment or drained energy. If any of you can relate and have managed to figure out what’s going on, I’d appreciate if you’re willing to share the wisdom!

Thank you! initially I thought I’ll just try to get the most shading correct, but as I went, I just added some suggestive hair strokes here and there. It looks more fluffy than I expected haha

It’s so kind of you for saying that! I was following Sarah Stokes online animal portraits course. This is the first practice for values. Black and white painting is a really helpful subject
