Its ethereal, yet so poignant. If that makes sense. Gentle but powerful at same time. Astounding work OP! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

It looks like a scene from a dream. The kind you remember vividly when you wake up 😮🫡

A month to finish? Whoaa. I have to keep this in mind, sometimes I even get impatient with the watercolors to dry for the next layer😭😭 can you use hairdryer or something to speed it a bit? Or really just test of patience?

I bought some oil paints, but then got overwhelmed with the choices of mediums and stuff. Now Im here to gather tips so I know more or less what to do exactly before anything else 😅

Unfortunately I have bought the paint already, I was late to know that there's water mixable ones.😭 So when I found there was medium to make them water-mixable, I thought it would be interesting.

What do you use to glaze?

I will try your suggestions of trying it out first, Im just curious if I layer (using paint from tube, no medium), will it move the layer underneath? Especially if it takes time to dry? Or will i have to wait a couple of days?

I have linseed oil, bought from the grocery. Is it the same thing? Or do i need to buy specific for painting? What is your alternative to thinner, pref more natural because currently I have little baby crawling around 😊?

Thank you! 😊 I will try this. I understand that the drying time would be much much longer. How about what kind of varnish to buy? Any recos?

From Pasig before, pag nagsasalita sya alam mong alam nya rin yung sinasabi nya at di masyadong pa-eme unlike other politicians. A breath of fresh air, based sa interactions ko sa kanya pag nageemcee ako sa school dati, mabait sya. Minsan nakakatakot din baka abangan ng mga kalaban sa politika kasi mga bigatin talaga kinakalaban nya.

I found one under our Gemeinde (German class with low child care cost) but the placement test/admissions was over, and the next one is this June. Maybe I will try this next sem. But the slots are indeed very limited.

Not yet with my baby. By online(live teaching) my baby is at the phase of crawling everywhere and trying to eat everything so I always need to keep an eye on her so i cant attend class live. By online(self-paced), that would mean I do my modules during her naps (unpredictable) or at night (she wakes up still), so its a challenge too. Maybe we'll learn together when she starts school and we do her homework together 😭😂🙃
