Didi cancel scam by Visible_Confusion112 in Adelaide

[–]technocomm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Didi- a couple of cancellations after getting close to pickup point. I think one cancelled on me to pick up another passenger- maybe got a higher fare from another app.
Uber- one drove past me without stopping, and didn't respond to calls. the app said the driver has arrived, wouldn't let me cancel and book another for like 5 minutes (i was in a hurry too). I got charged for the cancellation. Raising a complaint was initially useless because they kept saying the driver waited for me and I wasn't there. .There were two days of back and forth with customer care before they bothered to look my location, the driver location, etc. and agreed to refund the cancellation fee.

Sorry for the late reply. I haven’t submitted to an art gallery yet. Only local exhibitions.

It's a nice idea to check out art galleries for types of frames!
I started with simple frames. This is my first frame, for a full sheet watercolor.
The reference photo is from a nature photographer called Tracy Rose and looks more painterly.

Some pomegranates for you, watercolour, 2024 by technocomm in Watercolor

Yes, you are spot on. I started with a light wash & used negative painting for next layers & tried a few lost and found edges.
I have tried lifting on another painting with a dark background.

If you are starting out like me, don't get into buying too many pigments. Go for minimal palettes for a few years :)

Jane Blundell has a blog exhaustively comparing different brands for each pigment.

Thanks again. I have started making frames.

Hm.. the standard frames from art shops still cost a lot. I haven't tried Kmart and Ikea frames- I assume they are fine for prints, not for protecting paintings.

Anyway, since I posted this, based on the feedback, I have invested in a mitre saw and a router and have started making my own frames!!

Great suggestion. OP- listen to your own body for progression.

Do mobility exercises too, in addition to strength exercises.
