@Amber Lynne: I'm sure it'll come with practice, but I find it so difficult to tell how much water I've put on.
I love the look of watercolors though, so I'd really like to learn. Just need to start, someday haha
I don't own any acrylic paints (since I only used them in class) but I doubt they were the expensive kind (public school art programs have hardly any budget after all). Idk I think I like them because they're very simple and intuitive to use! The only downside is that if you get them on your clothes they never ever come off not that I learned that the hard way /cough
Yeahh I like buying individual prismas in colors that my set doesn't come with! I only have the 48 set so I went out and bought some more shades of blue and gray and I really love them.

You can also sometimes get volts by clicking on the rocking ship on the Home page. It resets daily!

@Amber Lynne: Haha will do. I think watercolor is kind of hard for me because it's so unpredictable as a medium. It takes a lot of getting used to, and... letting go haha
OOPS I've definitely left brushes in water overnight many many times... I'll stop doing that...
I want to try oil paint too! I have a set that someone gave me as a gift but no canvas to put it on haha
I've used tempera a lot, but I think my favorite kind of paint so far is acrylic. (It's very forgiving for mistakes)
Michaels is very expensive. But I think the most satisfying thing about going to Michaels is walking out having scored an amazing deal on something using one of their weekly coupons haha
50% off on one regular priced item? 5 INK PENS FOR $3? I'm sold. uhh I never go there without a coupon oops
It's neat that you have some small art shops (somewhat) near you! The only one that I've ever been to was in a city that I was visiting (way too far to drive haha). I loved the atmosphere. It was a cozy shop that sat in the upstairs of a small building; it felt more like a little art studio rather than a shop.
Oh man, what do you do when you have a set of colored pencils and you're only running out of some colors? Like not enough to rebuy the set?? I end up buying the colors individually but it feels so much more expensive idk
Oh my god $2.85 for a single Faber Castell Polychromos im going to die
I wish I could like... rent a set
Just to tryyyy
falls asleep, wakes up, posts, goes back to sleep rip

@Amber Lynne: Haha I really want to try some spacey watercolor! Your videos were very inspiring.
I feel you, I did a pointillism project for class once (using those oil pastels actually) and it was TORTURE
Ah should I be worried about these brushes? I feel like I've probably just not given them much use to see anything
I like oil pastels a lot! They're fun to smudge and blend with your fingers (messy tho, again)
Fffff I love prismacolor pencils! I feel like they were my best art supply purchase. I don't own anything else other than Crayola haha
Too true haha. I've never filled an entire sketchbook. I feel like I draw on loose paper half the time idk why I do this
Michaels is my wallet's worst enemy. Every time I go there I feel like I end up with a bunch more stuff than I initially intended to buy.
Wall of text is cool
Sometimes I feel like my writing is too verbose (only my writing, I barely talk in real life ha) especially on chill forum sites like this whoops
It's nice to see other people write walls haha

@Amber Lynne: Thanks for the recommendations! I might look into those then (because I don't have an arm and leg to spare unfortunately haha)
Oh I actually own a pack of oil pastels from Artist's Loft! (Which I haven't used in forever but) I remember them being pretty good. I think I also have Artist's Loft paintbrushes? I didn't know their watercolors were so good though! I've been sticking to this SUPER old set (Prang I think?) just because I haven't used all of it yet - I'm pretty sure I've had this since I was like. 12 or something. I can't really comment on the quality because I've never used anything else haha
I also have some kind of canson watercolor paper haha which I also have barely used, I see a pattern here
Honestly I've never invested in paper (other than that) but it's probably something I should consider. I don't think I want to get into marker hell yet haha
That is very small!!
Feel like I get nervous when the canvas is that small though, my paintbrush control is like 10,000x worse than pen/pencil rip

Posted in Memorable Teachers
Posted 6 years ago
My friend recently started her teaching career, and it got me thinking about all the teachers that I've had over the years.
Memorable - in positive ways and... not positive ways...
I had a math teacher that hated when kids sniffled in her class. If she heard you sniffling, she would interrupt the lesson, call you out in front of the entire class, and order you to blow your nose. god allergy season was torture
One time a kid coughed and she ordered him to go outside and drink some water??
One of my teachers became really irritated with kids always staring at the clock to see when class would be over, so he made the clock perpetually read 2:30, a.k.a. 5 minutes before the last bell.
What a power move. He was a cool guy tho

@Amber Lynne: You really do get what you pay for when it comes to art supplies haha. I'd like to invest but I'm also super guilty of buying a ton of art supplies and then barely ever using them (kind of like... how I buy video games... I might have a problem)
Is it really?? For some reason I was under the impression that the paper in your videos was a lot larger haha
Oh man, I wish you could see the last time that I painted.
Cups of water everywhere, paper towels, scratch paper to test out colors, dirty paintbrushes - my desk was a hot mess. I'm also dumb because I refuse to clean anything up until I'm finished, so it just stays like that forever.

Posted in Lack Of Motivation
Posted 6 years ago
For me, I usually dip into low motivation when I lose sight of the bigger picture. I become too focused on the task at hand or I fail too many times, and then I forget what it was that I truly wanted out of it. This is especially true when the end goal is so far into the future that the lack of immediate gratification is a de-motivator.
Why am I here? Why am I doing this? What do I really want out of this?
Sometimes in the midst of it all, I forget that I'm doing what I'm doing because I enjoy it. When motivation is low, it becomes like a chore. So I try to free myself from it. In the context of art for example, I step away from what I was working on. Start on a blank sheet of paper and just draw - draw to just draw, draw because I like to draw and not because I'm forcing myself to - the way it should be.

@Amber Lynne: Aww that's a shame (but tbh kind of expected because too good to be true)
I want to work on a watercolor piece but I feel like I'm going to have to set aside an entire desk space for like the next month or something in order to do it haha
