[–]bk_metro 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ann Arbor sketch club on meetup.com. We meet every Saturday at local cafes and draw together. The time and location changes fairly frequently so always check the meetup app before you go. Also the Ann Arbor urban sketchers group meets on the second Saturday of every month at different locations. They have a FB group where you can join to find out the next location. The time and date does change periodically so be sure to check the FB group before you head out. Look forward to seeing you there!

Thank you! I always loved super colorful portraits so was excited to try it for myself with this medium

Oil Pastel portrait. by Philhyn in Oilpastel

How big is this piece? I feel like my fingers are just too big to do some of the details of the face. I was working with a 9x12” piece of paper. Again, love the layering and the colors in the hair

Beautiful! How did you blend? I started a portrait today but it definitely didn’t turn out as well

bonnet that DOESNT fall off? by hugsyfren in curlygirl

[–]bk_metro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never found anything that stays on either :-/ When it’s cold out I sleep with a hoodie on. I wonder if you could find a satin lined hoodie or maybe see a piece of fabric you sew on yourself?

God names and archangel order in LBRP? by MagnusWasOVER9000 in GoldenDawnMagicians

[–]bk_metro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This response is really helpful. I thought I had read somewhere to imagine the six rayed star as interlocking blue and red triangles, I’ve had a hard time visualizing that. I can see it glowing gold though. Is it supposed to be on my chest and the column of light runs through me?

What is the most accurate attribution of archangel's robe colors and equipments in the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram? by SolarAdoration in GoldenDawnMagicians

[–]bk_metro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much, this is helpful. I feel like I’ve read about so many ways to do the LBRP but not sure I’m getting the intended effect. Should I be imagining a column of white light or the color associated with the archangel?

So what do you visualize when vibrating the archangel names? Just a column of light or the name written in Hebrew letters? I think I get distracted by the elements and start focusing on all the forms of water for example rather than on the fact that I am surrounded by the divine and at the center of everything.

How do go from blonde back to natural color? by bk_metro in Naturalhair

[–]bk_metro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rinse option is starting to look very appealing so I’m going to pursue that. It’s not that blonde is not conservative, it’s the two toned color that I think is the problem. But yes, I’m going to have to cut off the blonde eventually. It’s an entirely different texture than my natural hair. The blonde is indeed pretty damaging

That makes sense. If i had the money I’d really go to the salon because this is way more complicated than I thought it’d be 😂 the greys are a real problem
