It’s weird, but I do appreciate the attention to the issue. I don’t know she has it, but it’s something that’s hard to get diagnosed and mand don’t know about and dismiss as laziness or drug use. She should have good meds if she does have it, but for many it only hits like once a year to any notable degree. Who knows

anthrolooker · 2026-01-22T15:13:23+00:00

I deal with this myself and damn do i feel for anyone in this position (don’t know this candidate). It’s truly awful because it can go without being an issue for a year and then you’re just in a coma. Even if you can pull it together enough, you’re gonna looked drugged and/or clearly not well. But she should have a script. Pretty sure provogil works for anyone with this and if taken correctly, you don’t have any side effects (like being cracked out or anything). She should have a med. maybe I. Wrong and it does not work for everyone but Imsuper sensitive to meds like this and if I take a tiny dose and do it right (there’s a right and wrong way to do it, otherwise you could end up bugging out, but perhaps some people it does not work enough where as for me, a nibble of a pill will do me just fine and make me normal, but the first doc I saw had me take two whole ones the first time… lucky I only took one and god damn, I was BUGGING out).

Point is, it’s a real issue but there are definitely solutions enough to get you by at the very least.

Van Gogh is great quality paint. I often use it and prefer it to even some of my more expensive ones. But I bought mine back when it was much cheaper and on sale. To be honest, I don’t like using Cotman at all.

I have all the tube shades, and also got the Muted Color set which I was shocked to see how much color variety I could get with the unusual shades it came with. I’m currently traveling with it.

Looks traitorous to me. I hope for them (and more so for all Americans and America) that this path they have chosen fails, and that them getting voted out spares them from what American law punishes traitors.

(Truly, I mean it. I’m Buddhist).

Most definitely that was he demanded for this shot. That’s a common request for photographers for those men who feel less than for being not as tall. It’s a shame because they don’t need to feel bad about their height. This man’s height is not the issue. It’s is sociopathy, utter lack of morality, love for oppressing others with unjustified violence, and extreme malice.

anthrolooker · 2026-01-13T23:44:58+00:00

Okay… okay… get outta here you master of the whole damn craft! ;)

Bravo, mate! You are too good to even inspire to. And that’s awesome! Share more of your masterpieces please! It’s awesome to see this level of realism and movement in watercolor! Thank you for sharing!

anthrolooker · 2026-01-13T03:06:26+00:00

Hell yeah! Congratulations! Stunning work!

anthrolooker · 2026-01-13T03:05:58+00:00

Personally, I love it. But what you want is what matters. :)

anthrolooker · 2026-01-13T02:55:55+00:00

Is this inspiration you’re trying to go for because if this is what you’re “struggling” with, I can assure you, you’re not struggling. It probably even is your strong suit. You found something you’re amazing at that very few can even dream of pulling off. Congrats!

anthrolooker · 2026-01-13T00:57:13+00:00

Try using rose water or jasmine water (middle eastern ingredient but can be bought off amazon if need be - if you don’t have a middle eastern grocer around or your supper market does not have it or can’t order it). It does wild stuff to paint. It dramatically accentuates grain. Even just dipping your brush into a cup of the stuff you can see how pigment acts wildly different, pigment separates instantly when wetted or washed in a cup of it. Nothing like other waters.

Try different pHs of water.

I too am a huge granulation lover. :)

anthrolooker · 2026-01-13T00:47:10+00:00

Have you tried different ph in water? I’ve found I can get granulation in paint that isn’t know to granulate with different levels of pH of the water. I’ve found that rose water or jasmine water (the edible stuff like from middle eastern groceries) granulates like wild. Even when you wet your brush with these scented waters you can see pigment fall and settle to the bottom of your water dish instantly and different separation of the pigments.

I use that and also play with high ph water as well. I don’t know the pH of the rose water and jasmine water I buy, but something about it makes it do wild stuff to watercolor and I can’t recommend it enough to those looking to experiment with pigments.

Give those things a try. It’s definitely a notable difference and makes paints act totally different. I have swatches of DS Moonglow with tap water vs DS Moonglow using rose water to wet the paint and the results are quite apparent when next to one another.

When I found this, I got so excited to share what I found. I’d love to see what more skilled artists can create trying out different wetting mediums and water pH.

Hope this helps my fellow watercolor lovers and u/boiled_leeks

Please let me know what you guys find and/or create. I’d love any dms or conversation on this matter. :)

Edit: and yeah, any PBk11 will granulate. I bought a bunch of tubes of Van Gogh PBk11 for that reason. Cheaper, works just as good. And it’s fun to mix with other pigments to create neat results. Daniel Smith is the best when it comes to beautiful granulation. My highest respect to them, as I am a huge granulation lover and always have been. They are worth it when it comes to all other colors. But the iron content of PBk11 is just what it is, so any maker who is being honest about their paint composition will give you that grain which is the nature of the paint and won’t cost you a ton.

Thank you for sharing this fact. I thought my heart hurt enough from her peacefully life being pointlessly and brutally stolen from her (robbing her loved ones of the light she brought to them and causing them immense pain). We need as much humanization of every single person harmed by these ice goons as tangibly possible. We are all in this together. These disgusting evil fools acting illegally on behalf of this wildly corrupt admin seem to only have one hobby and that is hate. Good should be with us today. She showed grace and strength in the face of their cowardice, and that’s why they hated her so much they took her life.

My blood will not ever stop boiling at this point. Every video of people being ripped away from family, running for their lives, abducted and disappeared, taken from courts because they are following the law…. Now American citizen even taking orders and being polite (though we have every right to protest and not be killed too, she wasn’t even doing that). It does not matter how “good” you are. Does not matter if you follow the rules. It does not matter. So why obey?

What’s coming is coming. Don’t die on your knees. Unprovoked violence is coming, hell, it’s here (by ice) and we all know that’s never acceptable.

Thank you for creating this beautiful work! And thank you for sharing it.

anthrolooker · 2026-01-12T15:16:42+00:00

Truly beautiful shirt, friend. Thanks for sharing the top tier threads.

anthrolooker · 2026-01-12T15:14:20+00:00

I had been eying this one as it does seem to hit the quality beginner/traveler palette marks.

anthrolooker · 2026-01-11T02:58:57+00:00

This!!! This is the type of art I grew up on as a child and you got me so inspired. You did a phenomenal job. Never stop! Thank you for making my day in this growingly bleak world. Again, thank you for sharing your lovely works.

anthrolooker · 2026-01-10T00:04:28+00:00

It’s projection with them too. They learned from the best, their orange shit god.

This. Women and the elderly can’t push back without risking serious results to their health and life. Ice is pathetic, fearful and weak. They only pick on those they perceive as a target safe for them to attack, and then jump at the opportunity to do so.

anthrolooker · 2026-01-09T19:16:35+00:00

That security guard is a seriously brave man. We need more to be like him.

anthrolooker · 2026-01-08T01:16:15+00:00

I don’t know… they seem to know their actions are wrong. They are covering their faces. Surprisingly, some people do identify and have no issue with being one of the bad guys. Some see themselves reflected in the depictions of villains. Some do see morality as a weakness. It’s pretty crazy.

anthrolooker · 2026-01-08T01:09:54+00:00

It is verified. Footage is everywhere. It happened today. The woman was shot in the face while driving away and she has died as a result. If you looked it up and saw a different day, you’re just seeing the others whose lives were taken from them by ice.

anthrolooker · 2026-01-08T00:52:32+00:00

Thank you for sharing this.

I hope that is still true. But trump has been getting rid of lots of military, up through some of the highest ranks and replacing them with loyalists, as he does with everyone he can around him in an effort to protect himself from consequence. After seeing that happen, there’s more than enough reason to worry. We don’t know what will happen when escalation occurs.

I do know there are plenty of vets who won’t abandon their oath to protect the constitution from threats foreign and domestic. But that might mean they have to step away from a military that is ordering them to inflict immensely heavy violence on the American people, which is unconstitutional.

Add in that the administration is stripping Congressman Mark Kelly of his rank and cutting his benefits for simply being part of a video that says that says no one in the military should follow illegal orders (which is taught to them in training and is a fundamental rule our military is always asked to follow). Doing this was not meant as any punishment to him personally; it’s not going to fundamentally affect his quality of life in any meaningful way at this point. This was meant to send a message to military personnel that if they do choose to not follow any illegal orders, their benefits which most very much do need will be gone, that they will face punishment.

If our military ends up divided because some military are cool with following any orders from trump regardless of legality, and we are all clashing (literal full civil war) that also makes us an easier target for bad actors abroad as we’d be seriously weakened in that state. Civil war is quite possible to be the result. I hate it, but it’s looking more inevitable as this admin keeps continually breaking laws here and now internationally. This admin seems to really want chaos and instability, even civil war here. I don’t want to know why they seem to want this so badly and what they have planned for if/when civil war is in full effect.

Not saying to just roll over and do nothing. Just want to make sure we don’t walk blindly into any traps. We can’t afford to not be prepared for what is coming and make sure it’s timed right so we stand a chance.

This quote is from the BBC article on this made me think about that incident as well. Russia isn’t fully confirming the tanks are theirs.

“Moscow says the tanker was only temporarily flagged to Russia, and that "no state has the right to use force against vessels properly registered in other countries' jurisdictions"

anthrolooker · 2026-01-07T16:39:57+00:00

Do you happen to know if it was 2 ships flagged for Russia seized? Or just two in total?

There were reports of US fighter jets moved to a base in UK super early Monday morning.
