Decided to stop trying to write in Chinese but still using the ink sticks - here with a bit of unipin fineline light grey no 0.5, which I shouldn't have added.
This Fine-lined Emerald (Somatochlora filosa) was only the second one that has been recorded from the Refuge. The first one was found 28 years ago (by me) on the Prince George's County side of the Refuge. Yesterday's find was a new County Record. Bailey Bridge Parking Lot, Patuxent Research Refuge, Anne Arundel County, Maryland.
Today's Paint-Out with Barbara's Saturday Painting group. Beautiful day. Sunny and bright but a little cold. I had just bought a bunch of acrylic markers from suggestion by Julie Grif and this is the first time I tried using them for highlighting and finelining. They were quite opaque and I could go over dark area with lighter colors but they have such sharp edges and extreme solid colors very difficult to create gradient. It's still a work on progress. We had lunch at Corfu in Sierra Madre. All of us had the Combo Kabob at $18.99.

What do we know about wrinkles ? In short - Wrinkles are folds, ridges, or creases in the skin or on fabric.
Following description refers to wrinkles in fabric...
Wrinkles are creases, folds, or ridges that typically appear on the skin as a result of aging, repeated facial expressions, or other external factors. Here’s a more detailed description of wrinkles:
Causes of Wrinkles:
Aging: As we age, our skin naturally loses its elasticity and becomes thinner and drier, leading to the formation of wrinkles.
Facial Movements and Expressions: Repeated facial expressions such as smiling, frowning, and squinting can cause lines and creases in the skin.
Sun Exposure: Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun breaks down collagen and elastin fibers in the skin, which are essential for maintaining skin’s structure and elasticity.
Smoking: Nicotine in cigarettes narrows blood vessels in the outer layers of the skin, impairing blood flow and reducing the skin's ability to repair itself.
Dehydration: Lack of adequate moisture can make the skin appear more wrinkled and dry.
Genetics: Hereditary factors can influence the timing and extent of wrinkle formation.
Environmental Factors: Pollution and exposure to toxins can accelerate skin aging and contribute to the formation of wrinkles.
Diet and Lifestyle: Poor nutrition, lack of exercise, and high levels of stress can negatively impact skin health and contribute to the development of wrinkles.
Types of Wrinkles:
Fine Lines: These are small, shallow lines that often first appear around the eyes (crow’s feet) and mouth.
Deep Furrows: These are more pronounced lines and folds that can develop on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the nose and mouth.
Prevention and Treatment:
Sun Protection: Wearing sunscreen, hats, and protective clothing can help prevent UV-induced skin damage.
Healthy Lifestyle: Maintaining a balanced diet, staying hydrated, exercising regularly, and avoiding smoking can contribute to healthier skin.
Skincare Products: Using moisturizers, retinoids, and other anti-aging products can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
Medical Treatments: Procedures such as chemical peels, laser therapy, Botox injections, and dermal fillers can effectively reduce or eliminate wrinkles.
Hydration: Keeping the skin well-hydrated can help maintain its elasticity and reduce the formation of wrinkles.
Visual Characteristics:
Texture: Wrinkled skin often feels less smooth and may have a more uneven texture.
Appearance: Wrinkles can appear as fine lines or deeper creases, often more noticeable in areas of frequent movement, such as around the eyes, mouth, and on the forehead.
Color: The skin around wrinkles can sometimes appear darker or lighter due to changes in pigmentation.
Understanding the factors contributing to wrinkles and adopting preventive measures can help maintain healthier, more youthful-looking skin.
Description of wrinkles i nfabric

Wrinkles in fabric refer to the creases, folds, or ridges that form on cloth materials due to various factors. Here's a detailed description of wrinkles in fabric:
Causes of Wrinkles in Fabric:
Compression: When fabric is pressed or folded tightly for a period of time, it can develop wrinkles. This often happens during storage or packing.
Moisture: Exposure to moisture can cause fibers to swell and then contract unevenly as they dry, leading to wrinkling.
Heat: Excessive heat from washing or drying can alter the shape of fabric fibers, causing them to shrink or expand irregularly, resulting in wrinkles.
Movement: Continuous movement and friction, such as wearing or handling the fabric, can create wrinkles, especially in areas of frequent bending like elbows and knees.
Fabric Type: Different fabrics have varying tendencies to wrinkle. Natural fibers like cotton and linen wrinkle more easily than synthetic fibers like polyester and nylon.
Types of Wrinkles in Fabric:
Sharp Creases: These are well-defined, linear folds that typically occur from precise folding or pressing.
Surface Wrinkles: These are less defined, small, and shallow creases that spread across the surface of the fabric.
Deep Folds: These are pronounced, deeper lines that form when fabric is heavily compressed or bent for a longer period.
Prevention and Treatment:
Proper Storage: Store fabrics by hanging them or folding them loosely to avoid excessive pressure that can cause wrinkles.
Ironing: Using an iron on the appropriate heat setting can help remove wrinkles by flattening the fabric fibers.
Steaming: A garment steamer can effectively remove wrinkles by relaxing the fibers using steam.
Fabric Softeners: Adding fabric softeners during washing can reduce the tendency of fabric to wrinkle.
Proper Washing and Drying: Following care instructions, such as washing on a gentle cycle and promptly removing clothes from the dryer, can help prevent wrinkles.
Anti-Wrinkle Sprays: These products can be sprayed onto fabric to help smooth out wrinkles without the need for ironing.
Visual Characteristics:
Texture: Wrinkled fabric has an uneven, bumpy texture compared to the smooth surface of unwrinkled fabric.
Appearance: Wrinkles can appear as lines, creases, or folds, varying in depth and length depending on the cause and type of fabric.
Shading: Wrinkles can create shadows or highlights on the fabric, making the wrinkled areas appear darker or lighter than the surrounding material.
Examples of Common Situations Leading to Wrinkles:
Packing Luggage: Clothes packed tightly in a suitcase often come out wrinkled.
Sitting for Long Periods: Fabric can wrinkle in areas of stress, such as the knees or elbows, after sitting or bending for a long time.
Laundry Practices: Leaving clothes in the washing machine or dryer after the cycle has finished can lead to wrinkling.
By understanding the factors that contribute to fabric wrinkles and adopting proper care techniques, you can maintain a neater and more presentable appearance for your textiles and garments.

.. aka "The Man from La Mancha." This is 5 minute class demonstration I did at the Hill Country Arts Foundation a couple of years ago. I was encouraging students to use everything at their disposal to get the effect they wanted. The brown line is done with an ultra fineline Sharpie pen. The orange and brown are painted in with watercolor felt pens and the yellow is Dr. Phelan Martin's liquid watercolor. Notice how the liquid watercolor wrinkles the paper and leaves what seems to be dark pigment spots on the lower left of the wash. I think Dr. Martin needs a little more work on his product.. I've always identified with Don Quixote....grin.
This past year, after my 80th bithday party, I called the Hill Country Arts Foundation and asked them to take my name off their instructor list and ended a long tenure of teaching adult art classes as a second job. I felt my mobility and my relevance had culminated in perfect symphony. Afterward I felt a great relief. I'm off the hook.
I think you have to know when to quit. I loved being a detective with a small police department, but at age 71, chasing crooks with a cane instead of a nightstick called for a stretch of the imagination. The only way I would have caught anyone would have been if some 80 year old scumbags had decided to hold up convenience stores....lol....
I've been retired a little over 10 years and because my oldest son pulled me kicking and screaming into the world of the internet, because my wife gave me my first computer and because my youngest son sat down with me and drilled me until I became comfortable with basic computer skills...because of all that. My retirement has been the highlight of my life.
...but then again, maybe that's just the geriatric dopamine kicking in.....lol...

"Grove" was a couple of outbuildings between Corpus Christi, Texas and Orange Grove, Texas. I sketched them and painted them several times. This one was painted on a new, at that time, paper from strathmore with fibreglass woven into the paper. Working wet on wet was fantastic as you can see here, but trying to blend and get gradations was almost impossible. All of the areas with soft edges were painted on wet paper, then the objects with sharp edges were inked in with a brown ultra fineline sharpie pen and then "colored" with a mixture of burnt sienna and a touch of prussian blue. That's probably more that you ever wanted to know.
