elly (Mar 7, 2010)

I've been contemplating on doing this draw for quite a long time while waiting for the mood to hit me...and it did =) I think this will likely be my fav draw for a long time to come! I really enjoyed doing this one! Cool eh? =)

I'm glad you're trying watercolour because I think the medium would lend itself to your style. If you can find it, there is a book by a woman I think you would really like. It's called 'How to Make a Watercolor Paint Itself' by Nita Engle. Thanks for sharing your class paintings. It takes awhile to work out all the properties of the different pigments--transparent, opaque, staining, etc. Then you have to play with working wet in wet, wet on dry, dry on dry, and refine your lost and found edge technique. It's hard and frustrating but also the most fun and magical when it works, IMO.

Something like this, Teapot? :)

Mmmm! Nice interplay of the warm and cool colours together! I got the sense of a forest fire. I am liking how you keep the movement and looseness with your paints. Though I can admire the control achieved, I don't find myself liking watercolours that get too 'tight', too detailed. This painting has a nice balance of a little detail with a lot of impression.

Kewl Wall Art

elly (Mar 10, 2010)

I came across a photo showing this really cool Asian wall art a few years ago and hung on to it hoping to try my hand at this in my home one day.. they use paper that's bent and creased in just the right places & then mount them onto the wall, then they used directional light positioned just right to cast shadows of face profiles made by the bent paper...I thought it was quite clever! Since I haven't taken the time to try it first hand, I decided I'd draw it instead!! =) Kewl huh?

The Folded Napkin

Miss_DJ (Mar 2, 2010)

for Him.

In order to understand the significance of the folded napkin, you have to understand a little bit about Hebrew tradition of that day. The folded napkin had to do with the Master and Servant, and every Jewish boy knew this tradition. When the servant set the dinner table for the master, he made sure that it was exactly the way the master wanted it. The table was furnished perfectly, and then the servant would wait, just out of sight, until the master had finished eating, and the servant would not dare touch that table, until the master was finished. Now if the master was done eating, he would rise from the table, wipe his fingers, his mouth, and clean his beard, and would wad up that napkin and toss it onto the table. The servant would then know to clear the table. For in those days, the wadded napkin meant, "I'm done". But if the master got up from the table, and folded his napkin, and laid it beside his plate, the
servant would not dare touch the table, because.......... The folded napkin meant, "I'm coming back!"

Jesus is coming back.

Believing everything that can't be proven, and believing in God are two entirely different ideas in my heart and mind. I have a relationship with God that is unmistakably real here and now. I have daily proof in my life that He is...and always was, "I AM."

marcello (Mar 6, 2010)

hard to argue with that. ;)

Flubbles (Mar 6, 2010)

If god really does exist, then who here can conclusively give me evidence i cannot dispute? i'm not saying i dont believe in god, i've just never been given any concrete evidence of his existence.

See? You are persuing Him.
