Activists hang under the St. Johns Bridge in Portland, Oregon, In an attempt to block the Shell leased icebreaker, MSV Fennica July 29, 2015. The climbers are currently preventing the ship from passing underneath the bridge on its way to meet Shell’s drilling fleet. The climbers have enough supplies to last for several days. According to the latest federal permit, the Fennica must be at Shell’s drill site before Shell can reapply for federal approval to drill deep enough for oil in the Chukchi Sea.
Getting better. This is for the Strathmore watercolor sketching workshop I'm taking.
I'm trying two new things today. First I tried a technique called the double transfer. It's used by scientific illustrators to make an exact drawing. I photographed the shells on a white background remembering to overexposed the image by +1 E.V. (stop) in order to get a good white. I then transferred the file to my iPad, cropped it in Photogene, sized it in Pages, and printed it to plain paper using my Epson NX430 wireless printer. I then traced the shells onto thin tracing paper using a soft pencil. Here's where the double transfer comes in. You fold the tracing paper so that more tracing paper covers the original tracing. You then burnish the tracing with your fingernail or the edge of a spoon to transfer the graphite to the back of the folded piece. You then transfer that image to your art material by placing the tracing paper with the graphite down and burnishing again. By transferring the graphite twice you don't get a mirror image. If you do it right, you get a very faint pencil outline of your subject that is photo accurate. It's an interesting process to try, but I don't think I'll use it very often. It's more suitable for a finished illustration than for sketching. I'd rather just do a quick drawing.
The other new thing I tried today was to use my iPad to scan and upload my sketch to Flickr. In the past I used my desktop computer to scan, edit and upload. The Epson NX430 printer is also a wireless scanner. So, I scanned the sketch directly to my iPad, rotated, straightened, cropped, and resized the image in Photogene, and used FlickStackr to upload it to my Flickr photos.

These grotty shells were everywhere on this fence...quite disgusting really, but made for interesting detail. I like the line of the fence and quite like that the post itself is slightly off centre. There's a spider up the top right too that looks great up close!

Aronson Island, Escanaba, MI. Those ladybugs were moving around. I don't know what kind of shells--are these zebra mussels?
"The Shell Building (1952) is a reinforced concrete, limestone-faced skyscraper of modest height (14 stories) in the International Style. Its open floorplan forms a “V” at the sharp intersection of Common St. and University Place in the New Orleans CBD. The Shell Building was built primarily to house offices and secondarily to provide additional space (bedrooms and a ballroom) for the adjacent Fairmont Hotel."--National Park Service.
The building is now mostly condos.
Shell ranch station side view - Vero Beach FL - December 1970. This is at the northwest corner of 8th Ave (US 1) and 19th street, and I think it did business as Howard's Shell. There is a McDonalds adjacent on the other side. Across US 1, there is a Bay gas station and just to the left, an A&W drive-in. Nearby but not pictured was the Dolphin Motel that had a neat neon sign with a jumping dolphin. This was taken from the porch of a relative's home. According to Google Street View, it is still exists, although it is now operated as a Sunoco outlet with a big canopy.
Why do bookends appeal? Is it their decorativeness? Is it the fantasy they portray? Is it that they visualize the romance, adventure, history and knowledge found in books? Are they used to reflect our sense of style? Is it that they are in pairs? Perhaps it is all these reasons.
Bookends: another chapter is an exhibition at Mosman Library that showcases treasured bookends held in private collections. The exhibition, on display from Tuesday 12 April to Sunday 15 May 2011, is an opportunity to view some fantastic pieces dating from the 1920s to the 1980s.
