Media: Acrylic on Watercolor Paper Size: 14" X 18"

I've told several of my flickr friends that brightly colored thumbnails get more activity than those that are not (which is why I cranked the saturation on the left image to an obscene level). Above are 3 images of Marquam Interchange the one on the left made Explore #25. Neither of the other 2 made explore. Personally I think the one on the left seriously sucks when compared to the other 2. Which is in large part why I think "explore" as any measure of image quailty is bullshit. I'd much rather get decent feedback and criticism from my contacts (who I have a lot of repect for) than some anonymous people in the flickrsphere.

Thanks for playing along. :o)

Experimento fotográfico con el típico esqueleto de aprendizaje de anatomía

provando caminos ams sencillos, aun no estoy convencido con esto pero hay va avanzando.

I have been playing around and learned something new on Photoshop Elements (SHOCKING) - picture taken at Busch Gardens.

Shot with Nikon D3200 and Simpex 1200

This was interesting to do. A small glass bowl was used to hold the 2% milk, (higher fat is said to work better). Then the neon food color was added, then a q-tip with dish soap was added to make the chemical reaction with the fat in the milk. The twirls were added with a toothpick. Original color, no post edit for color. Sunlight streaming through the glass added its own texture.

I found an old broken kaleidoscope and thought of experimenting with some long shutter speeds.

CALLA EXPERIMENT

This was a very pretty watercolor, until I got my 'freak on' and morphed into my ''EXPERIMENTAL MODE''....I simply went wild with that ELEGANT WRITER PEN and a little Pastel too, on top of my watercolor. And if you think Watercolor brings lots of fun surprises...you should try the Elegant Writer Pen...:) ♥

I thought I would put this little tutorial about the Elegant Writer Pen up again...:)

ELEGANT WRITER...made by...www.speedballart.com

I use mostly size 1.3mm Extra Fine

I bought mine at my local Hobby Lobby arts & crafts store, near the Calligraphy section.

They are available online at various art sources also.

The cost is around three dollars.

There are several ways to use these pens in sketching/painting.

I usually draw first in pencil, then very lightly go over the pencil line with the pen, skipping some of them, not to overdo the ink.

I then barely touch the edge of the ink line with a wet(with water) brush which results in an explosion of the ink line.

You can also thoroughly wet the ink for another effect.

Once the ink has been wet with water and dried it will not ''explode'' again.

Once it dries you can add more ink if needed...and repeat procedures.

You can add watercolor after the ink has dried, or even before...but be careful doing this as ''mud'' comes easily...:)

You'll want to experiment and play with it before using it on a ''serious'' sketch or painting...:)

I have a ''set'' on my page here for all my Elegant Writer sketches & paintings.

Karlyn Holman has some wonderful examples and info. in her most recent book ''WATERCOLOR WITHOUT BOUNDARIES''...One of my favorite Art books of all time...♥♥♥

I'm starting to like the kid.

He's like the son I never had.

We came across the medical quarters.

I feel ashamed of myself.

We did horrible things to them.

I tried to keep the kid away.

He saw the gore and ran away.

I better catch up to him.

lexi-old shoot/new edits

Some dark minifigure tablescraps that I haven't managed to finish yet. Left is black figure held aloft by lots of tentacles from an unseen source. Right is a space dude on a hover sphere with a tentacle hand, inspired by the EK cosmonaut 3 from Industria Mechanika.

Experiment..

I got the idea of moving the camera up while taking the picture from hoodwinks: www.flickr.com/photos/hoodwinks1/2471140822/

Since I liked his, I thought I would give it a try.

It all began with the front "nose" (quite proud of how that looks), the rest sort of just happened. Probably not going to be a finished ship (you can kinda see how the design is less and less polished around the second dark gray "ring"). As usual, built with my real collection in mind.

Madddy suggested I should put this old wreck afloat so I tried :-)

This is an actual experiment that has been going on for 3 days. It's a whole raw egg with it's shell dissolved in white vinegar. The only thing holding the egg together is the thin but tough membrane. We take the egg out of the vinegar each day and measure it's circumference. The egg has been swelling daily as the vinegar passes into the membrane to balance the acidity of the vinegar. This is supposed to teach the osmosis action of cells. It is my older daughter's experiment and she has yet to touch the egg as she finds it quite disgusting. I found the whole thing fascinating and Rosie is looking forward to popping it tomorrow.

View Large on black to see how disgusting it really is.

As a work of art, it reminds me of a long conversation between two drunks

Watercolor sketch quickly done on a small scrap of paper. I was attempting to render the glow from a candle. I was painting mostly wet into wet and kind of like the way the water and pigments flowed to create this image.
