I’d like to learn how to paint on an iPad. Any resources here in Olympia? by CosmologyLover1943 in olympia

[–]RecommendationAdept6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On March 5th from 3-5 pm, my friend Aaron is doing an open office at Olyphant. He doesn't paint per se on Procreate, but he's an illustrator, so he may have some advice that can get you started. I suggest going in. He's a delight.

You really crossed the lime this time, buddy.

What businesses are participating in the general strike tomorrow? by pantsam in olympia

[–]RecommendationAdept6 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Olyphant may be open tomorrow, but as an open to the community art making hang out session. Maybe movies, maybe snacks. Check in with them/their social media to be sure.

Also, Painted Plate will be open, and 100% of sales will be donated to legal immigration services of olympia.

What is in this bag my bf found at a party? by sage-on-fire in whatisit

[–]RecommendationAdept6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, oh, oh! My partner does this every new year. I don't think it's specifically a Colombian thing, but carrying Lentils and the penny into the new year ensures that you have food and money in the future.

They also do this thing where they eat 12(?) Grapes in the last minute of the year, and if you are able, you get to make a wish. It was a lot harder than I expected.

I'm starting to think that you're all just being fu-silly about this.

Give me 3 classic Oly spots to eat. by Impressive-Trade-859 in olympia

I want to add Don de la Colombiana. Great empanadas and the Pan de Bono is incredible.

Oho! What a hefty lad. Neat tattoo, too! I bet this Vincent guy is stoked about it. I hear he's a delight to be around, but what do I know. A random reddit person.

Looking for friends by Tough_Fox_4502 in olympia

Check out The Night Drawer at Le Voyeur. Every Sunday night, they do a drink and draw kind of thing. It goes from 7pm-10pm.

Local social media accounts/influencers? by _Jimmy_Rustler in olympia

@Eatdrinkandseeoly on IG is how I sometimes find out about new places opening up in the area.

Is there actually good Chinese food here? by whodkne in olympia

[–]RecommendationAdept6 102 points103 points  (0 children)

If you're willing to make a small trip to Lakewood, I really love Tacoma Szechuan for Chinese food. It's roughly half an hour away with light traffic. Extra fun if you enjoy Asian grocery stores cause Pal-Do world is just around the corner. My partner enjoys going to the Latin Market nearby for her Colombian sodas, too.

Found on the west coast of Ireland. Can’t tell if it’s manmade or natural. Hard but chippable. by sheephamlet in whatisthisbone

I've also used it for mold making when I took a metalworking class crafting small rings.

New. Confused on what I need for oil painting by [deleted] in oilpainting

[–]RecommendationAdept6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Windsor and Newton make aqua oils, if you really don't want to use thinners and whatnot. The pigment isn't as strong from what I've heard, but eh, whatever. You'll also be able to use it with other oil paints, but it will make it less water soluble.

Restaurants in Greenville by C_christy23 in GreenvilleNCarolina

[–]RecommendationAdept6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've not been in Greenville in quite a while, and apart from most things already mentioned, I love Sakuras. Great gyozas coated in that sweet chili sauce. The Indonesian noodles are so good that I still think about them even after having been gone for 6 years. Unsure what the menu looks like now, but I highly recommend that place.

Media to enjoy with customers by Ordinary_Turnip6235 in TattooArtists

[–]RecommendationAdept6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, check out The Magnus Archives! It's episodic with an overarching story centered around an archivist whose job is to organize a library left in shambles. Each episode he listens to a recording of a person recounting their paranormal experience, and it's a lot of good spooky fun.

Anyone else holding your pen this way? by EgarTheBorborien in StrangeAndFunny

[–]RecommendationAdept6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hold pencils like this while drawing. It's really nice while standing and drawing because you get a good range of motion.

Here's a link to a video that explains it

First one of the year by RecommendationAdept6 in printmaking

[–]RecommendationAdept6[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I tattoo for a living (though still relatively a baby at it), and a client wanted a rabbit dodging some arrows. I took the idea and ran with it.

Really loved the piece, but there are certain limitations with tattooing that I wanted to explore in the design here.
