trabalhar com arte é constantemente não deixar seu coração ser contaminado com o desdém de uma força maior

problema 1: elas só começam a pegar as coisas direito com uns três anos, então lá vai 3 anos e 9 meses
problema 2: mais de uma, depende do tempo entre cada uma, multiplica-se quanto tempo vai demorar pra finalmente estar livre pra usar a coisa que será pega (Ex.: 3 de 2 em 2 anos = 10 anos)

eu já vi rinha de férias aqui. "Ah, mas você foi pra Florença? Mas foi quando? Porque se não for pra ver a primavera em Florença não adianta ir". "Como assim, foi à Grécia de avião? Só vale a pena se for de barco."

watercolor is less 'painting' and more of putting down a stroke and going wow i really shouldnt have done that

Text:
"Planes" are a depiction of anything that exists in a drawing at a FiXED spatial distance from the viewer, with each grouping of subjects at a shared distance overlapping the next in order to suggest the spatial relationship of each element in the drawing to the others.
This image has three planes:
(Image of a drawing with a scorpion on a rock, a cowboy sitting on a rock, and a mountain in the background).
Each plane in an image signifies a different degree of distance, with the foreground SHARiNG the viewer’s spatial plane, and the background being the farthest from it.
There’s clear distance between each plane; no plane “touches” another.

Text: why is overlapping the planes necessary?
(image: a cowboy apparently close to the viewer, one a ways back, and then a saloon behind him).
Unless one plane directly overlaps another, there’s no sure clarity that they are, in fact, suggestive of different distances.
(image: the cowboy appearing to be closest is shown to be a giant, swinging the apparently midground cowboy by the head into the two-story saloon that's only about as tall as a person).

it’s also important to suggest scale in each plane using subjects whose size the audience is likely to know. when that isn’t possible, try repeating the element-of-unspecified-scale (a) from one plane in another and have it (B) interact there with a subject whose scale is clear.

Text: A perspective grid composition (A) suggests  depth by progressive recession in space, while planar composition (B) suggests it with staggered recession in space.
(image: a receding grid and a series of staggered planar elements)
The principles of overlapping planar composition can be used with a perspective grid, especially if there are elements with right angles (like buildings).
Rough your panel with plane elements in place first...
...then make/place a grid that fits your layout...
...then utilize the grid to make the receding angles match.

One of the most useful* aspects of a foreground element is to create a sense of immersion for your audience. by putting it on essentially the same plane as the audience itself, the audience becomes a
part of the story, seemingly able to touch the foreground, to lean around it for a better view.
(image: the wanted man is now decidedly a foreground element).
*it also means less time spent drawing all of the detail in the midground or background planes without ever aesthetically shortchanging your audience.

Hey, friends! Here are some thoughts on using planes in your compositions.

Like you said, mostly everywhere along the river (even in other cities, all the way to Cognac). The water's almost getting to the Corto Maltese statue.

[Scene is a domestic kitchen. Night time. The room is all blue apart from warm orange-pink light streaming in from a streetlight outside. In the center of the room stands a woman named BRANDI, standing in pyjamas looking contemplative, the light cast dramatically on her face.

JOEL:

Guess I just like standing in the kitchen at 3am thinking about the supernatural threat we temporarily defeated last year.

While saying that out loud in a manner which sounds casually ironic but is actually just blatant exposition.

The museum was constructed anticipating the floods that would occur every 100 years (the largest until then had been in 1982). In 10 years we've already had 3.
