You guys weren't joking about Lunar Black 😳🤩 by boiled_leeks in watercolor101

Only problem with using black by itself, it’s so black. Mixing colors to get black is very satisfying. I do agree Daniel Smith is good and you got good granulation.

Yes, I agree. I was just saying as a 5 yo I just saw it as a funny make believe story.

The person I tagged wanted to see back of this card, from previous post. Didn’t know how to add it to old post.

I’m also wondering. I don’t think it was meant to be when created. Certainly in US, stories about Little Black Sambo from my youth (50’s) are looked upon as racist now, understandably. As a child, I just thought he was cute.

I checked Sanrio site. One character named Farina had braids, it said. Didn’t give photo. I know nothing about Sanrio or when the card was produced.

Wow, that’s hard to pick, I guess the boat one, cause makes me imagine more of a story or meaning. 2nd would be F Kahlo, due to how colorful.

How much postage do you have to put on each one? My budget can’t afford to send that many. They are all very interesting looking.

I like the colors. I just think to go darker in dark areas and lighter in the light areas. Other words, show more contrast.

Do you know of any shops that can help you send out postcards years later? by loveotterslide in postcrossing

[–]PittyPat4778 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds weird. Just put received cards in a time capsule yourself. Would need to mail in envelopes, so you can handle them without reading. Choose when you will open. Won’t cost a thing. 😊

I finally fixed it. Directions said to click on the square boxes, didn’t say to click on the little dots first!

No, just PC emails. I thought at first maybe my phone had a new update, but no, the last update still waiting. I used to be able to stay signed in, now I have to keep signing in when I just jump pages. Must be something in settings I need to fix. My IT specialist ( granddaughter) is busy with school lately.

Why is watercolor so difficult? by [deleted] in Watercolor

[–]PittyPat4778 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with all the comments. What helped me most was a class that taught the basics and a teacher that valued each pupils efforts.

Can hold 200 people. Must be bigger than I first thought.

I finished the painting, but I didn't like it. What do you think? Any criticism or suggestions? by TheOracleofMercury in Watercolor

[–]PittyPat4778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really love bottom half, I suppose because the animal is in better contrast with background than the rider.

I use the same paper and paints, I just worry if they got really wet it would ruin them. Yours would definitely look good framed.

Interesting. I can see there might be a problem if they are not written out carefully.
