J Mzungu Why just francien? I like it when a lot of people paint together. Rarely happens for me because I don't really have friends who are into arts and crafts. Someone told me there are meet ups and classes for this kind of thing, but then they put you in weird, stupid constraints. I actually saw one such meet up at a restaurant recently, and what they were painting looked so uninspired it made me wanna smack the instructor. Haha. Bet they take good money for that too... Maybe I should offer art classes. I can tell you a million things about brushes, paints, pigments and papers but I would never tell you: draw a line right here, like that. Also it makes my blood curdle when I see people use bad quality and/or overpriced art supplies. Me either, I'm the only one who can draw a straight line haha I alway say you can draw also, just give it a try! you will be amazed..I have been to such classes it was nice to meet new people but I didn't learned much what I didn't already knew but okay I was out of home Whe had to paint barns flowers till I couldn't see them anymore, got tired of them and needed something different so I took another class wich gave portraitpainting..also nice but my neighbor was continue chatting. I knew than okay it's fine follow your own guts paint what you want use the colors you like and do it at HOME!! I am.. Many many people are soooo good with drawing painting airbrushing, that I sometimes think..okay I not that good as they are because I do it in my spare time, practice a lot will improve your skills that is with everything..oh well it give the harded needed relaxing time, that is for me the mainreason I'm painting and when people likes and want it I give it as a present, (depends on the painting) some off them are having a emotional feeling those I keep.

francien I love to watch people paint, even when I don't particularly feel like painting myself. I like watercolors the best, because they are the most beautiful and cause the least mess. ;P

I like watercolors the best, because they are the most beautiful and cause the least mess. ;P I agree with you Paika, it's great to watch and I'm always impressed by it..still amazed by what people can do with only a pencil or some colors even with they're fingers! I want to try that also someday lol. Watercolors is imo very delicate, love that to you can get such wonderful effects but you must be fast, I have done a lot with watercolors very bright and still soft to see. Now I'm in the middle of oilpainting it works fine too but on a other way and whew till it's dry! What I like about oil is, it isn't fading with the years it will survive me when it's good..pretty to know that when I'm gone my oilpainting are still in excits in full color I have tried every medium now I think pastel watercolor oil graphite ink and colorpencils and the airbrush..Pastel is not my medium my whole room become very messy including myself but atleast I have tried it out. Oh well the meanthing is that you have pleasure in what you are doing and even I don't like the endresult there is always someone who say's I like it may I take it with me.It's good whe all have a different taste

Actually whether the painting's colors fade depends on the pigment, not the medium. I think some brands still use fugitive pigments even in oil paints (like the "opera rose" color). Some colors just cannot be produced by mixing other pigments, and only the pure pigment. Most of modern watercolors won't fade. However the companies still produce the "bad" paints because some artist still choose to use those. They have other desirable qualities, which makes them easier to paint with than with modern pigments. You cannot really paint over watercolor, if you make a mistake. You can, however, remove the paint from the paper. Most modern pigments are so finely ground that they cannot be easily removed like that. There's a ton more reasons, but I don't want to bore you with it.

Well, a mistake when painting with watercolors, is, for example, mixing wrong pigments together. Since watercolors are mostly transparent, if you paint over one color with another, it will still show. some pigments can be opaque, to a certain degree. The beauty of the colors comes in part from the paper showing through. If you put too much opaque paints on, the painting loses that beautiful glow. If you mix too many colors together, you end up with opaque mud color, something you really don't want.
Another thing would be to use staining pigments where you didn't intend to. You can pick up the color with a wet brush, if you want to "erase" something, but some colors just won't let you do that. Those are usually the modern pigments. I like to use them, because they don't fade. It just takes a bit of planning on how you're going to layer the colors. Still I don't always plan everything, or end up with what I wanted, but you can always layer another medium on top, like pastels or acrylics etc.

I haven't much time lately to do anything and the worse of all is that time fly's Had a few things done for my sims4 shabby vintage crumpled house after the doordiningtable, it seems doors are in I decide to do also a sidetable in 5 different patterns..and a small endtable..also but forgot to take a photo that thingy wich you can put above the door so your sims stand dry when it suddenly rains lol..with new mossyrooftiles to stay in the old style of my house.

haha well I'm slao good in disappear, when I have other things to do at home :D..I have just followed Orangemitten tutorial how to create a template, and got one! Blender looks like abacadabra but that was the same with Paintshop and Adobe photoshop, Think you must become familiar with the program and all the buttons. When I have more time I certainly will follow the tutorial how to do and hope I will become more familiar with Blender. Till then I try to recolor the objects wich I like

I'm not sure. What I like about industrial style is large, open spaces and raw textures of brick, wood and concrete, large windows and structures. A lot of different furniture kinds actually match that style.
As for making 3D objects, I really enjoy the modeling part, but then mapping and texturing is where I get lazy. ;P
