I just remembered @merriam-webster.com put me in the dictionary 🤣 so I won't abandon them just because they want to say primer weird

Gonna add this:

Entirely misleading, I agree

It does NOT mention that this is a 33 year old photo in the article

It only mentions how old the photo is if you click on the small print under the photo:

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Day 6, #hARToween25
Dark Water, Gouache
😈🎨🦇

Small watercolor painting depicting a gloomy seascape at night. A small sailboat lies on the water in the light of the full moon. The sea is calm. But in the deep, dark black-green water beneath the boat, a black kraken tentacle with white suction cups writhes.

Day 6: Dark Water

A watercolor painting of an empty former mill building standing next to a walking path beside a river. The sky is blue with large white clouds. There is a tree standing beside the mill building and walking path on the right side of the picture. The painting is signed in the lower left corner with the artists' name: K.O. Munley.

I wasn't sure if I'd post this or not, but decided to do it. Not because I don't like this one, but because I do like it (mostly).

I know that as I continue, I'll keep growing, but I genuinely enjoyed the process of painting this one and I'm super happy with how this sky turned out.

Oof. I have one like this and I've basically turned to using it for values sketches. It's such a bummer.

Medieval urine wheels! Opium toothpaste! Cemetery guns! I got it all. I love sharing my passion for this niche subject.

Scan of a typed letter from 1970, from Peanuts creator Charles Schulz, addressed to "Joel Lipton, 622 N. Foothill Road, Beverly Hills, Calif. 90210" It reads: "Dear Joel: I think it is more difficult these days to define what makes a good citizen than it has ever been before. Certainly all any of us can do is follow our own conscience and retain faith in our democracy. Sometimes it is the very people who cry out the loudest in favor of getting back to what they call "American Virtues" who lack this faith in our country. I believe that our greatest strength lies always in the protection of our smallest minorities. Sincerely yours, Charles M. Schulz" At bottom is an illustration of Charlie Brown and Snoopy, a kite wrapped around the dog house.

Written 55 years ago, Schulz's heartfelt clarity cuts through the noise, even today.

Don't let "pacifist rhetoric is frustrating and inefficient" trick you into ignoring the little flashing red light in the back of your brain

Hey all, my husband @kevinonthelam.bsky.social found out that he’s going to be laid off next month. 🥺He’s a Staff Character Animator who has been working on The Outer Worlds 2. We’d greatly appreciate any leads that you have, because times are expensive and we have two little boys. 🙏 Thank you!

This photograph has a painting of a huge tree and the tree is in the same photo

The Official NPR Shop National Public Radio, Inc.

A quick FYI: They have *just* relaunched the online NPR shop with bunches of new stuff, plus some throwbacks and, of course, the Tiny Desk hoodie. So if you are that kind of public media person, there’s some stuff to check out! shopnpr.org

Reminder: the point of the massive, lavishly funded, decades-long campaign by the right to take over media was not to make the public love Republicans, it was to make the public hate Democrats, so that no matter what Republicans did, it would be forgiven.

They know: it won't matter ...

This is a watercolour landscape painting, painted loose.

A pastel painting in progress of a night scene The moon, not quite right yet so a little misshapen in a dark blue sky the large mountain in the background covered in pine trees a mesa in the middle ground not quite completely finished a little arroyo runs from the edge of the mesa in the middle to the far left on the right is a little unfinished hill with a tall cottonwood standing to the left of it in a field of grass

Can't pastel inside yet, It was driving me nuts so I ripped apart my art market cart and turned it into a painting cart, so I could drag it into the yard and paint.

Got a bit done yesterday. Tried for more but it is raining now.

I know the moon is wonky. I know.

Still a long way to go...

This is wonderful and I love the scene you've captured here. It looks great!

Thank you so much!! 🙏☺️

Wow! These all turned out great!

May I ask where/what class you're taking? I'm finding it difficult to find classes in my area so if be interested to know if you going a good one online.

Regardless, great work!

I'm in the same boat. They have some great talks on that channel and being able to watch these painters as they work through a piece can be so instructive and helpful. Plus it's a nice way to spend an hour. Happy painting!

#Watercolor

Watercolor and colored pencil sketch of a landscape. The painting is present on a small 4 by 6 inch, landscape-oriented watercolor sketchbook. The foreground contains a small rocky ridge at the bottom of the picture plane. Foliage flanks either side of the painting, and a leafy tree branch also protrudes into the top right space. The middle third of the composition contains a view of a small cove that us partially blocked by the aforementioned foliage as well as a lumber pile on the shore. A small turquoise boat floats in the water, above which is a dock. The top third of the composition contains rustling sea grass behind the dock. The grass gives way to the sea, with a thin strip of forested land visible beyond.

Another watercolor and colored pencil sketch of the coast of the Finnish archipelago (45 minutes). This view caught a lumber pile left on the coast from some dock renovations #art #coloredpencil #watercolor #painting #sketch

A sketch in blue and brown of a street with people walking, sitting, and sketching, cars and trucks lining the sides of the street, and a restaurant's outdoor dining shelter.

Ballard's farmers market is a busy attraction every Sunday. This was done in the afternoon, as the market was clearing out, which is why I had a little more space to see down the avenue and draw.
