Reading Renoir my father of Jean Renoir and found that Renoir uses the following Colors during his impressionist period. Could someone please suggest some alternatives. The colors, silver, chrome yellow, Naples yellow, ocher, raw sienne, Vermillion, Rose Lake, Veronese green, viridian, Cobalt Blue and ultramarine. Later in his life he used silver white, Naples yellow, ocher, sienna earth, red ocher, Madder red, green earth, Vreonese green, Cobalt Blue and ivory black. very rarely, he would the Chinese Vermillion.

Answer: Most of these colors are still in production, such as Naples yellow, different types of ocher, vermilion. etc. From what I know now is madder madder lake or quinacridone red. Some colors are also very expensive, you can try with the tones.

Spatula Set

October 19, 2007

Question: What is the stupidest thing you have seen or ever done?

I went a couple of cigarettes from the local shop to buy and it was obviously a new girl working there. I asked for 40 (brand) and she started on me 40 packets from the shelf! I once try an internship boss, and take a Pancakes with a spatula, it was the side of the hearth. Things I have done? My ex was a really light sleeper, and he had gone to bed early. Just as not to disturb him I stripped down and went upstairs in the dark. I had forgotten I'd plugged the Hoover left, stumbled over the lines, go put the Hoover and managed to turn on the light too! When I looked up he saw was stood there and stared at me wondering what the hell I was doing. So much for him not to bother!

Answer: Hi Christabel, My claim to fame and stupidest thing I think I ever did was: the case of a Wessex helicopter in flight. That was yes when I serve in the army, as you can see I survived. I fell about 30ft into a completely wet field. I thank God I was not unconscious when the helicopter would have been coming on land and crushed. I managed the roll-out of Sun on put and simply laugh. I believe this prevented me from going into shock. Escaped I with nothing more than a broken left arm and of course a big bump in my ego and credibility. I would not recommend that you think everyone else, try this as they get might not be so easy. Pretty dumb Do not You (lol) Poseidon

Colour Cadmium Red

October 17, 2007

Question: How do you make blood colored paint and a light skin tone from these colors?

The colors I have, ocher yellow Burnt Umber Sap Green Titanium White Cadmium Yellow (Hue) Cadmium Red (Hue) ultramarine and Mars Black are you system 3 acrylic colors. I need the colors are similar to those in this video at 4:12, when the singer got his arms behind his upper body and holds his head up.

Answer: SKIN COLOR: Cadmium Red, Cadmium Yellow with white mixed. I like to keep adding just a hint of Umbra, a more realistic skin tone and by adding more Umbra, this can also give you a value of the dark shadows, which can be used for. By mixing with white, you get different shades of the actual skin tone, and of course, the more you know add, the lighter the complexion. BLOOD: Cadmium Red, a touch of Titanium White and a touch of Umbra will the blood color. The more white you add, the easier it will be. A touch of black can be used for shade or a dark sound are recorded.

Simmons Paint

October 13, 2007

Question: Who was the first group that you saw live muical?

When I was 11 years old, my brother and his friends led me to a secret KISS concert against my mothers. She thought I was too young to see a rock concert. On the way to the concert my brothers girlfriend painted my face hard as Gene Simmons (he had been my rock idol at the time). Later in the evening after the show backstage I was allowed to meet Paul, Gene, Ace and Peter. Gene had our picture together. I was awesome and still talk about it until today, when people see photo hangs in my home.

Answer: The Monkees reunion with my parents, Forget the year the best concert? Metallica in the Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana, 1992. Just me and about 30 to 40,000 of my closest metallifriends scream "Die, Die, Die" with our clenched fists in the air to "Creeping Death" It was great.

Palette Knife Set

October 7, 2007

Question: I read about how the painting to a "Acrylic Transfer" from the book "The New Acrylics" and I dont understand

... because they say that you get to photograph this method an "incredibly old, early newspaper clipping or magazine spread out" which is the original can not be sacrificed. It basically says: 1 Attach the image on a flat surface with a different medium. 2nd Apply a thin even layer of Medium to the entire image with a spatula, which over the edges. 3rd Allow the gel to dry for 48 hours. Separate diving the image from the palette and in water, until Paper saturated. 4th Rub to remove the paper from the medium. transfer aside to dry. 5th If the medium feels dry, can support the transfer which is attached. Do you understand how this is not to ruin the original? Can someone give me more easy steps? I do not quite understand ... The book sounds very ambiguous. Thank you!

Answer: Rheni forgot to mention ... the "original" you use for this must be a laser print or be a laser photocopy. Use is no pressure from an inkjet printer or a photo - not work. The acrylic medium actually absorbs the ink from the paper. Since laser printed by the ink will be made on paper, takes the medium of paint. Therefore magazine pics work. (Printer force the ink into the paper, so they work not. Photos to use a different technology again.) I have done this and it works great. Be careful to use cold water, taking care not to stretch the film, how to clean the paper off Set it on a piece of wax paper to dry so that it does something, do not stick around. PS - if you fix "the image on a flat surface with some medium ", the paper will not materialize - apply only in the medium term to the front (picture side) of the paper. Have fun - great book, I'm surprised I have not understood, thought I would read it!

Flannel Board

October 6, 2007

Question: Felt - Flannel Board Pieces - How do you paint them?

I am in the process of producing a flannel board for my daycare. I am a difficult time with color on the pieces of flannel (like the stripes on a zebra). I was with an extra-fine point Sharpie - but it pulled apart the material. In my despair I bleed a dry erase marker - but the color would be a good deal. Do they have special markers or paint these? Thank you for your help!

Answer: You could try to cut out of black felt glued on the white felt. I should be straight forward as zebra stripes not have a straight shape. Good Luck
