The magic of May
190704; my july spread đđ things got busier at uni and my stress level is overflowing but somehow i managed to vent it all out through journaling which is really a good thing + playing Kyungsooâs song on the background makes the atmosphere a lot better. also iâve been into candles lately but im still thinking if i should get a scented one - because scents used to trigger my migraine a lot so idk đ€đ but i love vanilla or lavender yeah still idk đ anyway, have a lovely july everyone đâš
Know what Iâm salty about?
In all my art classes, I was never taught HOW to use the various tools of art.
Like yes, form, and shape and space and color theory and figure drawing is important, but so is KNOWING what different tools do.
Iâm 29 and I JUST learned this past month that India Ink is fucking waterproof when it dries. Why is this important? Because I can line something in India Ink and then go over it with watercolors. And that has CHANGED the ENTIRE way I art and the ease I can create with.
tldr: Art Teachers: teach your students what different tools do. PLEASE.
WAIT INDIA INK JS WATERPROOF ONCE IT DRIES????? THE ENTIRE REASON IVE AVOIDED MARKERS MY ENTIRE LIFE IS BECAUSE JNK BLEEDS AND YOURE TELLING ME INDIA INK IS
F U C K I N G W A T E R P R O O F
oh man your teachers did not do there jobs!
-Yo painters, use pencil if u must underdraw beneath an oil painting, the lead is archival but ideally you should be doing underdrawings in a muted earth tones (siennas, umbers, ochres or earth green) with some titanium white added to it. (The white nearly matches the canvas and earth tones naturally blend with all colors on top unless u do super thin glaze washes).
-Trying to make a natural looking warm black? Donât use black straight from tube, Mix alizarin crimson and viridan. add raw umber to adjust for light depth.
-If your into mixed media ALWAYS use acrylic first and oil on top (the gesso on primed canvas is acrylic based and oil sits on top of it great). NEVER put acrylic paint on top of oil, the acrylic will crackle/decompose and fall apart/off the canvas.
-India ink is permanent and if your using ink from a jar it should say itâs permanence. professional art grade pens usually have there permanace listed either on the pen or the companies website.
-Red cinnabar is poisonous, DO NOT EAT IT, no matter how much like fruit loops it smells.
-Translucent and transparent are NOT the same. translucent is *shiny* and a cloudier color, ideal for mixing usually ordor making vibrant colors like for eyes, cars, etc. Transparent is matte and usually a 50% transparency from an opaque color.
-ALWAYS DO A TEST SWATCH OF ANY NEW MATERIAL.
-any paint made with âtrue alizarin crimsonâ âred lakeâ and âchrome yellowâ pigment is a fugitive paint. Fugitive means the pigment fades dramatically and disappears over time, (usually 5 to 15 years) lots of van goghs paintings have this problem. be very careful with these pigments. Alizarin crimson especially smells extremely sweet and like fruit loops or fruit loops, donât eat it.
-gauche is a mix of watercolor and ink, proceed with caution as this material can be an asshole.
-Watercolor can be made darker/thicker by letting it dry slightly in cake form or in liquid form and can be dry brushed if u get the timing down.
-Paint liquid rubber or lay down thin pieces of painters tape on edges in watercolor paintings to Prevent bleeding between lines if u need super sharp edges.
-always tape down the entire paper edges when u paint with watercolor to a board to prevent the paper from curling as it dries.
-add salt directly into wet watercolor paintings to absorb pigment and make shit look like space.
-Always paint in well ventilated areas and avoid getting lots of paint on your hands. lots of paint is made with heavy metals and can cause cancer.
-natural materials arenât always safe, especially
-Ones u collect yourself, do your research before grinding, burning, sanding these things especially indoors.
-use NATURAL bristles on your brushes with oil paint and SYNTHETIC bristles on your brushes for acrylic and watercolor. synthetic bristles literally break off into oil paint and stick into your painting, and natural bristles canât handle the weight of acrylic paint and rip into 15 directions. Use hard boar bristle for the underdrawing/underpainting of an oil painting as it will force the paint into the canvas pours more effectively cause itâs stronger, use softer bristles for outer layers of oil painting and blending, boar will pierce outer layers and is to hard for anything but the first layer. canât tell what u have? clean it up and brush it on your face, softer it is the better it is as doing outer layers of color.
-if you have a decent paintersâ tape, you can prewet your watercolor paper, tape it to a surface & weight it down with some books to press it flat while itâs wet and help keep it from buckling later once dry, this is especially useful because for some reason, watercolor block is half again as expensive or more than a comparable sized pad or large sheets to cut down, even by the same brand
-natural sable is good for watercolor if you can afford it, i have two smaller brushes i shelled out for to try it, and while i probably didnât treat the finer point one right, the other one is a miracle iâve had for nearly 20 years.
-chinese calligraphy brush sets are fantastic for large work and washes and way, way cheaper most times than standard brushes, and it doesnât seem to matter how cheap they are, either. they may shed a little, but they do a really good job holding and distributing water.

whoa have I not been on the blr for so long............canât remember how it works all I have to say is I've been rereading the foxhole court series n.. someone yell @ me about it but also in general talk 2 me abt anything!! hope uâve all been doin amazing the past year <3
happy lunar new year, friendly reminder that jimmy kimmel and ellen degeneres inviting marie kondo on to their show to âtidy upâ their writerâs rooms only to dismiss her advice, belittle her methods, make fun of her use of a translator, and act like ungrateful children in the face of her genuine attempts to help is literally the most basic form of Othering from white people. Itâs another form of commodification by white people of non-white cultures that is being willingly shared, and it doesnât get any less racist when it comes from âprogressivesâ, be they a liberal white woman or a âWokeâ news punditÂ
like sheâs already being attacked and villainised into this aggressive book-burning harpy by white people on twitter who thinks having a full bookshelf can substitute having a personality, and now mainstream network talk shows are coming after her as well.Â
I donât care if you think âthis is just how Degeneres/Kimmel does comedyâ, I donât care if they did it for laughs. The overall tone of their segment is to show their reaction; to show how ridiculous and childish they find the KonMari method. We get it, white liberals donât have time for wishy-washy Japanese mindfulness woo-woo and their enlightened views make them too rational to take seriously any other cultures that are based in spirituality and animism
Kimmel made a long, over-winded joke that deliberately put both Marie and her translator into an embarrassing situation, deliberately highlighting and mocking Marieâs lack of English, and then mocked the Shinto cultural background that Marieâs methods come from. Ellenâs writer acted as if Marie was going to overturn his office, then shoves Kim Kardashianâs ass into Marieâs face, then admit that heâs going âput everything back anywayâ after Maries leaves. Both of them act as if her âgreeting ritualâ was some form of Weird Hokey Japanese Gimmick.Â
White âprogressive liberal voicesâ are turning non-white cultures either into a commodity or into a joke without any self-reflection or foresight into the damage theyâre potentially doing. They take no care in the hurt that they as white comedians are sowing; in turning Marieâs traditional Japanese cultural values and contexts into a joke, theyâre making the act of othering and disrespecting non-white cultures more normative and easier to do. Their activism and political commentary is nothing but performative white bullshit.
When we share donât share our cultures, white people turn it into a hip commodity, then cry PC-gone-mad when we take offense. When we willingly share our cultures, it gets turned into a punchline. It doesnât matter if the dismissal and commodification come from someone wearing a MAGA cap or a white liberal icon; the lack of respect still stems from the same root of privilege.Â
