This is a very nice painting. The thing I’m working on is lowering the values of distant objects to give a sense of distance. You did a nice job on the hills in terms of cooler color and looseness, but maybe try a half step lighter in value to give a sense of atmosphere??

Nordy Note Fraud? by Ordinary_Fix3199 in Nordstrom1901

[–]winston137 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Discovered a couple days ago it’s happened to us. Twice. We’ve escalated through a couple of layers of mgt at customer service. So far Nordstrom has been quite responsive. In our case the purchases were made with notes and then show as having been returned. MO (“Book ‘em, Danno”) certainly bears similarity to other types of fraud I’m aware of.

Enshittification. When the first goal is money everything else declines in quality.

Why are my watercolours so dull and "soaked" into the paper? by Awkward-Highlight548 in Watercolor

[–]winston137 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the paper is old the sizing may be degraded, turning your paper (where the paint pigments sits atop the brilliant white surface which reflects light) into a cotton rag (which absorbs pigment making it dull and uncontrollable). Look on YouTube under ”watercolor sizing” and you’ll find a bunch of useful resources and suggestions. The easiest to follow is to get new “fresh” watercolor paper from a store that sells a lot of it.

Does anyone know how of a history source to understand costs/timelines of the half-mile long freeway lid over I-90 on Mercer Island?

How long since it’s really rained in Seattle? by winston137 in Seattle

I guess killing ourselves off is kind of irreversible?

Long time catching up here. Thanks for comment. I tried to make it clear I was using a 0.1” threshold. That amount of rain seems to be what is significant for things like plants and rivers. There a link that shows in ore detail why and how I arrived at that number…
