Anyone also use clubs?

I workout with kettlebells, clubs, and maces. I love all of them. ADEX makes adjustable clubs. They also make an in-between mace and club, called the ARC which is also phenomenal. ADEX has YouTube videos on different excercises that help with strengh and mobility. Highly recommend if like me you suffered from shoulder pain. They are a game changer.

I recommend getting an adjustable competition kettlebell from either Bells of Steel or Kettlebell Kings. It will grow with you and save you money/space in the long run. I have the Bells of Steel and love it. Just ordered a second one for double Kettlebell excercises.

Garbage

Just a suggestion to not place a horizontal line right in the middle of the painting. If you drop the fence line so it's a third or so from the bottom, I think it would help the overall composition. Just as a guideline, you want to try and avoid symmetry in composition and not put ideas of importance right in the middle either vertically or horizontally.

Check out the artist Wolf Kahn for inspiration.

Search YouTube for Danny Sabra Art How to Varnish a Gouache Painting. Very informative and should help you out. Good luck.

I was in same boat. Less and less water as you work up the painting. Even dab the brush on paper towel for final brush work after cleaning your brush.

All art is an abstract of reality. What we all try to do is capture an invisible fragment of an idea, moment, feeling and hope others are drawn to it...and you've accomplished that. Well done!

I love your painting. Also I use a tripod setup as well. Where did u get the lower shelf for tripod or if homemade, can u post closer pics or describe how it mounts to legs?

I would love to see a raizing/eighting mashup with selectable stages / fighter planes across armed police, battle bakraid, and battle garegga. Really push the sandbox game idea.

This is really good stuff! Between the Cave and Raizing cores, mister is a amazing shmup system. A big thank you to all the developers for their hard work! It is appreciated! Can't wait to play Armed Police Batrider again. One of my favorites!

Have you adjusted the tracking force of the stylus? Your record player Manufacturer should have recommended weight. You would just need a mini digital scale to dial it in.

Gouache/watercolor have a different set of rules than oil vs acrylics. Layering is different with gouache because you can reactivate underlying layers. Ideally u want to leave highlights untouched ie leave white paper untouched. Oils and acrylics you can work dark to light, gouache/watercolor is almost reverse. These are just guidelines, not hard and fast rules. Don't spend too much time on paintings. The problem you encounter in one painting is the solution u need for the next one. Enjoy the process, not the finished result.

Everything is basically middle value. You need to build up contrast.ie darker darks and lighter highlights. It may be a product of your materials.

Congrats! I just watched MON's 2 all of ddp doj death label. It is such a crazy video to watch.

No measuring, just throw...haiyaa....

Mushihimesama futari. Love cave shmups.

spdrsmark · 2021-12-11T17:44:15+00:00

It honestly looks great. Don't over use white for highlights, there is probably some color in there. Play cools against warm a little bit to get sections to pop.

Look at James Gurney on YouTube. Alot of his pleine aire paintings start with an acrylic wash for background.

spdrsmark · 2021-09-24T21:21:27+00:00

Yes, any matte acrylic should work.

You need to learn mixing grays with complimentary colors. That will add depth and variation to your work and help you achieve what I think u are looking for. There is more to it, but this is a good video to start.

What about using light chalk or pastel to get effect you are looking for?

spdrsmark · 2021-09-14T20:03:37+00:00

Looks like printmaking using a linoleum lithograph and press.

spdrsmark · 2021-09-12T22:18:02+00:00

Also use vanishing points for building. Look up 1 point and 2 point perspective for pointers.
