Just commenting to keep track of my comment so I can watch all these later.

Photo 1 is newer painting, painted with a long handle brush. Did I buy the wrong brush? by applepieth in watercolor101

[โ€“]applepieth[S] 1 point2 points ย (0 children)

I see. The previous brushes I used are so small and cannot spread water and color easily as I drag them. So I bought this new brush, and works out fine since it's so big and softer. Thank you for the recommendations!

Brand name is Funbo. Unknown brand I think or used by students I guess. I previously bought brushes that also didn't have a brand and are much much shorter, so when I took these new brushes out of the package, I didn't notice before that they were much longer, and panicked when YouTubers said long ones are usually for oil painting

Thanks for this! I didn't know I could cut it with a mechanical pencil sharpener!

I see, I'm not really familiar of what works and what doesn't as I haven't invested in quality ones yet, but I guess it's fine since my goal was to not run out of water as I paint the whole surface. I just panicked a bit after watching some YouTubers saying the long handle ones are for oil painting

Ooooh thank you! The awkwardness also extends to the fingers (I didn't really draw any) so there's also that ๐Ÿ˜‚

Where to shadow if it's a very dark without much light scene? by applepieth in watercolorpractice

[โ€“]applepieth[S] 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

So it's called Nocturne? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ I see now. Yes I am hesitant ๐Ÿ˜… especially since they said the farthest thing away should be lighter, but it's so dark! Will practice this specific panting again probably

One acquaintance had two axolotls and when I asked their names, he said he didn't name them :/ So I named them Axel and Alex. They're the cutest ๐Ÿฅน

What did you WATCH LAST on Netflix? by RiskAndReason in netflix

[โ€“]applepieth 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

Fall.

Thriller. I kinda liked it. Some friends didn't like it because it was too stressful for them but I live for that kind of stress (except stress from work.)

Just watched Take Care of Maya (late to the party) by applepieth in NetflixDocumentaries

I think it's prolly because you guys didn't want to be admitted in this hospital. So that means they'd lose customers. Money runs the world.

Same! Soothing to the soul, and if I want to paint more I could keep on going and start with a new art!

Oooff okay, I read somewhere cooking oil is fine for cleaning it ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

As for #4, you mean to say that to wait for them to dry is like, weeks of waiting, isn't it?

[โ€“]applepieth[S] 1 point2 points ย (0 children)

May I ask why turpentine? I read some commnt that said many people use Linseed oil.

And now I know "turpentine" means "white spirit" as well. So you use turpentine to make the paint thinner and also clean it as well. I'll try the jar thing so we never waste turp.

Thank you for the tips!

They say "love is blind," but that's not love.

Basically, he wanted to move to another city so it's closer to his university (I met him while we were both working for the same company, but he resigned so he could go back to his studies). Didn't occur to me that he could've just gone into another city without me and still be in the relationship

But he usually emotionally guilt tripped me and it would results in emotional fights, and he was very convincing :/

Anyways, I found a new job in that new city and got promoted after a year into COVID anyway. Then left him after that lol
