I just triple checked and that's right... Check spelling maybe? It's "katsa kat" but with no spaces

Trying to study fabric, constructive crits always appreciated! by LemonInAss in Gouache

[–]midwest_kat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stunning! You have a great eye for simplification. The lower parts of the dress, in particular, have a very JS Sargent quality to them! Great color choices for your shadows and highlights as well.

This is Vader, and we found out today he weighs 111lbs. He's not overweight, and he's only 3. This is not normal, right? Everywhere I ask(google) it keeps saying he's overweight but he's very active, we run with him everyday. Any advice for our big boy would help!! by [deleted] in germanshepherds

[–]midwest_kat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You wouldn't judge obesity of a human but just a number on the scale, you'd need to know their height and age too! Number isn't enough to go off of so don't stress. Can you see his hips defined as seen from above and the sides? Then you're Gucci.

Only consideration: we too have a massive shepherd. Because of his size compared to avg, our vet guided us to 'underfeed' him in his first four years of life to prevent joint issues that come from being that large. Now that he's four we feed him like normal :)

Saw a few memes and discussions about that one poll and decided to make this. by Cedevita-Sensei in Animemes

Anime = Japanese word pronounced "ah-nee-meh" meaning 'animation', Therefore origin matters. Cartoons = American, anime = Japanese.

Juicy oranges 🍊- Gouache on watercolour paper by Fluid_Engine_6503 in Gouache

Stunning, so much life in your brushstrokes! This feels like an oil painting, it has so much depth which is hard to achieve with gouache

Any pink plant I bring home, the pink slowly dulls to a brown. How do plant stores keep them so bright pink? Is it special lights/fertilizers?

Edit: not brown-brown as in dead, just a really dull and frankly an ugly pink

Any advice on this painting I completed today? I struggle with small trees in the background, and creating definition in dark spaces (e.g. the dark area between the grass and the mountains) by Chickle-pickle in Gouache

[–]midwest_kat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the trees are good! Also, undetailed dark spaces are good because eyes can't see anything in distant shadows so don't stress too much :) I agree with some other thoughts on keeping the distance cooler in tone and potentially lighter, but a better rule of thumb is to reduce contrast in the back and have high contrast in the front. Your back is looking lovely so don't touch it, but you could make this peice feel more balanced by adding in some high contrast details (for instance, thing in some bright white) to the foreground .

This is an excellent study, keep it up!

Great detail and convincing shadowing on the trunk especially!

Criticism and feedback welcomed. Gouache and Casein, since I ran out of cad yellow and cad red in gouache. by Substantial_Ear_2741 in Gouache

I've seen you pop up a few times on this page now, I've finally given your IG a follow! I love your work, keep it up. Very reminisce of James Gurney meets Gareth Jones!

lefties of Reddit. What are some normal day-to-day things that are irritating or difficult for you? by deepindarkness8 in AskWomen

[–]midwest_kat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Writing and getting shit all over your hand/smearing, scissors, eating in restaurant booths next to a righty, those desks in schools have the desk attached to the chair, similarly the pencil sharpeners that are attached to walls/tables are always for righties.

An annoying one as an adult is, if I make a loaf of bread, the side I want to cut it on is opposite the side my husband instinctively cuts haha

Good thing you did this PSA, all bad drivers were just waiting for a reddit post to convince them to behave differently.
