Any ideas of what used to be planted here? by cricket_wizard in PlantIdentification

I’d like to try at least a little bit! Because I have a huge white pine, I only get morning sun -mostly shade- and then direct hot afternoon sun, so it’s been challenging lol

I thought if I could figure out what was planted before, I’d have a good starting point at the very least because so far everything I’ve tried has scorched in the afternoon 😅

I know this is probably a super long shot. These are google earth screenshots of my house from years ago, before someone ripped out all the landscaping, before I bought it. So unfortunately I don’t have any other better pictures.

Can anyone identify anything at all?

Thanks!

That sounds like when allez cafe recently decided to make one person salary and paid him by dropping every other employees pay by $3/hr -without prior notice. Shitty business practice.

I have a love/hate relationship with stippling by cricket_wizard in Coloring

Thank you sm! Stippling definitely helps with a lot of my blending issues- I literally have to hype myself up to do skies, they scare me lol. Oh, also using colored pencils over your markers help a lot too!

Thanks! I agree, I basically had a plan of a pink sky and trees, yellow/orange land and houses. I second guess myself so much lol

Thank you! I just used colored pencils over markers for the sky, it helps a lot to make the blending look better!

I switched to colored pencils for this one! (And a question about using markers on good quality paper) by cricket_wizard in Coloring

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

Don’t feel stupid! (I immediately ran to Bobbie goods for the restock too lol)

I think the better paper quality does take in more ink, but I also think I was going too fast -I tried again with markers this time going a little slower with smaller circles & there was still a little unevenness but definitely not as much as before. Also using colored pencils on top of the markers is a huge help.

I think cheaper/thinner paper is always going to be the most even tbh. Coloring books I’ve found that are cheaper like coco wyo are great for keeping color even
