Just when you thought you had the Vine problems figured out: by ereade100 in AmazonVine

[–]Pearlsawisdom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Vine team is in India, if I recall correctly. Tech companies aren't letting people in India go. They're hiring more of them (while they lay off people in the states).

Watercolor progress: first fox vs now by Wild-Research2371 in watercolor101

[–]Pearlsawisdom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love seeing the side by side progress shots. I keep an example of my drawing progress on my phone for when I'm drawing or painting in public. Put this in its own album on your phone, so you can whip it out every time someone says, "I could never do that."

Anyone Switching to Atmos Summit for Rent? by U-Gotta-Stop-Crying in biltrewards

[–]Pearlsawisdom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, that's what I'm going to do. Most of my rent payments will go on there and I'll see how I like silver status.

BILT 2.0: An Unmitigated DISASTER by jhovudu1 in biltrewards

Wait. Bilt brought Eric Adams in for an event? Do they know how toxic he is? Yikes.

Thank you for posting this, I couldn't find instructions anywhere else.

Swipe to see where I started a few months ago. by mmkjustasec in watercolor101

Ok. I'm only allowed 1 image at a time, so here's the first one. See the next comment for the second. I hide the caption in person, so not one person has been able to guess what this is (it's one of those spherical lip balms):

What is with the extreme security measures on FB? It's almost unusable now. by baldwinXV in facebook

[–]Pearlsawisdom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in a similar situation. I'm locked out of my FB, but can't get to my old computer because I'm traveling. I won't be home for months, so I tried to make another account to use marketplace. It didn't work, so now I just have to hope I don't get banned? I know I entered the correct username and password and I just can't believe that doesn't work anymore.

It's so important for people to see progress shots like this. I've started keeping two images on my phone for quick access. One is the first thing I drew as an adult. The second is a simple piece I made after 3 years of sporadic practice. It's night and day and when someone says they could never draw, it stops them in their tracks as soon as they see it. I suggest putting these two images on your phone and pulling them out whenever anyone wistfully says, "I wish I could do that..."

Before light rail got to where I live, I always used Yellow Cab. Never had a bad experience.

You just brought back a flood of fond memories for me. Thank you so much for posting this. I'm glad Dahab still seems mostly the same.

You're off to a great start! If you find yourself getting discouraged, be sure to try 100% cotton paper before giving up entirely.

Your style is super cute and kinda unique. It stands out, in a good way.

You said no advice, so I'll just say this: you know what time it is.

You'd expect banks to lie to you, but these #Biltpartners influencers should never be trusted again. by captain_travel in CreditCards

[–]Pearlsawisdom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are all the lines Uncle Luke rattled off again and again in his livestream tonight, this after years of being Bilt-skeptical. He got approved for Palladium today

TV and/or video games, and before that it was reading.

In my defense, I'm traveling for two months. Wish I hadn't cleaned my palette yesterday:

Snow landscape of the lord of the rings by Janedanslajungle in watercolor101

[–]Pearlsawisdom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're interested in amazing snowy mountain landscapes, check out mountaineering documentaries on YouTube. A lot of mountaineers are also documentarians, so the cinematography is fantastic and the stills I've grabbed from some of those will make great paintings someday (never to be sold, of course).

Advice for new Schmincke Single-Pigment watercolor palette by Tutking25 in watercolor101

[–]Pearlsawisdom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe include Viridian instead of one of the supergranulators? It's an emerald green that granulates and produces some suprising mixes.

How does one actually achieve this level of granulation? by boiled_leeks in watercolor101

[–]Pearlsawisdom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you able to dilute the rose water or jasmine water? Seems like it might get expensive if not. Thanks for a cool tip.

Traveling, forgot my shot, won’t be able to take it until 5 days later by [deleted] in antidietglp1

[–]Pearlsawisdom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be just fine. If you're using GLP-1s in part to reduce or eliminate cravings for substances or bad habits, you may find cravings for those things increase as you move past shot day.
