WATERCOLOUR MAKES ME NERVOUS JUST WATCHING IT IN USE

This actually why I love using watercolors. My painting professor thought that acrylic & oil paints were cheating because if you make a mistake, you can slap on more paint to cover it up. With transparent watercolors you have one chance to get it right so you need to think through what you’re doing.

Also, what you’re not seeing here is I’m sure the artist has many scrap pieces of test paper. The paints look different on the palette than on paper, so testing is crucial when it comes to watercolors.

A lot to think about, yes. But the result is worth it.

novel about a morally grey pirate captain who is cursed to die within 5 years for stealing some forbidden treasure, and only giving her heart to someone and expecting nothing back can break the curse

but rather than go on some journey to find some true love or whatever, she decides to use her last years to travel the seas with her crew and collect treasure and drink and be merry

and on the day of reckoning, she is falling more and more ill, and her crew gather all around her to say goodbye to their captain when suddenly the curse is broken. because she gave her whole heart to her ship and her crew, and expected nothing back.

2,000-year-old roman face cream with visible, ancient fingermarks

Preserved within a small tin canister, the cream was discovered during excavations by Pre-Construct Archaeology of a Roman temple precinct on Tabard Street, Southwark in 2003. The main constituent of the cream was animal fat mixed with starch and tin oxide.

imagine if they got a clear finger print from that

and then, just for shits and giggles, they put it into a police data base or whatever 

and, one day, there’s a murder. the only evidence anyone was there is a hand print. and one of the fingerprints matches the 2,000 year old one.

suddenly, they begin to find more and more unsolved murders that all have a similar trend: only one piece of evidence to tell who the murderer was, and it’s a hand print or a finger print of some kind, and it’s always the same person. its the same one thats been happening for decades… maybe even hundreds of years…

HOLY SHIT
