Beautiful works, Astir! :tickle:
Heh, you reminded me of something that once happened to a friend of mine. She, too, is very keen on arts, and her favourite medium is acrylic paints. So once in her art class she was doing a picture of something that was mostly in green colours. Later on, when she was going home, she noticed that a young man was staring at her all the time in the bus. She made her proudest look (like "I don't care you're watching me, see, I turn away from your looks") and ignored him.
At home she looked in the mirror and understood, why the guy was staring at her so much - obviously, she had scratched her nose and forehead during the art class, and half of her face was covered with bright green smudges... :approve:

I love the magazine one Astir - I bet you had loads of fun doing that! I did a collage in November last year - used all sorts of stuff - material, old paintings, even autumn leaves. It was great fun, only took me about 20 minutes to do and I have to say, it's pretty damn good. It's now framed and on my wall.  Some lovely stuff in this thread - keep them coming. A couple more from me... Sarah |

You do? I love slugs. However, I found one crawling out of my salad this weekend, and whilst I looked after him/her and put him out on the grass, I love slugs on my terms. Not in my dinner!! :puke:  And yes, I had washed the lettuce beforehand... Sarah |

Oh, this reminds me of a peach I ate last summer. It was a wonderful peach. Juicy. Sweet. Mmmm..... After a bite or two I came to the thing that looks like nut inside peaches, plums, etc. (excuse me for this description, I don't know how it is called in English  ), and I bit it accidentally. It cracked open. Suddenly, an ant literally JUMPS out of it! And, man, it was HUGE!!! I had never been freaked out by an ant in such way.. HUGE, I tell you! :jawdrop: |

Yikes!!! (And the term you want is a stone.) How bizarre - an ant in the centre of a stone in the centre of a peach.  Sarah |

Thanks for supporting my lexicon, Sarah!  Man, that ant was bizarre... I'll probably draw it! |

It happened when I was eating an ant, it tasted strange, juicier than normal and then I noticed she had unlaid eggs!!! j/k But once when I was small I think I ate 'iça' at some friends of my family. It's toasted ants abdomen, goes with rice and sallad, don't know. If my memory serves me well it wasn't bad! |

LoL, I don't, I was joking. The worker ants we usually see in houses are small, less than 1 cm I think, there are others even smaller, they say they appear when something's about to change, like a presage. The ones that some people eat are kinda large, more than 2 cms, they have big bums It's actually kinda rare you find someone that actually eats them, I heard that in the northwest it's kinda part of the folklore. |

I've seen people eating random stuff, that's why I asked! The ant that had occupied my peach was about 3cm long. Jen - yes, that huge, but much more appealing. |

That is cool Vilkate! I love the brick wall... my eye is drawn towards that instead of the scary little girl.. What medium did you use? I wish everyone would just say that, because I honestly can't tell online. Now, if I was looking at it in person, I could tell. |

This is a painting i did in arcrylic for my Final piece in art 'college' for my first year. It's about 110cm by 50cm average. ( A small portion of the painting is cut from the image though, only the slight left side)
As you can see it's inspired by my passion for spiritual meanins in life - OBE and just other personal meanings and obviously sticking to the brief of my art project! Which was ''structures within structures'', I get my results in august.
I would appriciate it if you could leave a reply so i can see people's opinion on my work. Since you lot will probablly understand this piece more than anyone this means alot. ( I'm 17 by the way lol)
O and this painting was submitted out of my area to enter a competion to go to be exhibited in Newzeland (and a bunch of other prizes) just for some info.
Thanks, Darren!

Thanks for doing that Darren! Astir commented: Hey Darren. Awesome painting! I've worked in acrylics but found they dried way too quickly for my taste. A medium that demands much patience. What a lovely piece! And Falsetigerlimbs commented: That is truly amazing. You are really talented. It's such a great concept.
I also made this topic a sticky, so it will stay up top and I don't have bumble through this moving of topic thing again. |

A medium that demands much patience. You have to know exactly what you want to paint and where you want it to go, that's for sure. So, I would say a lot of thought goes into it before hand. With oils, that's the great thing, you can start out with half an idea, a whole idea, or no idea and you can change your mind over and over, while your painting, if you want. |

I do this with acrylic, it's more versatile than you think! Also you can add other solutions to stop it drying as fast but i haven't used this.

I've come to like watercolor over both acrylic and oil.
Although I can do a lot more with oil...I hate the mess. It gets everywhere and sometimes it doesn't dry fast enough for me. Acrylic annoys me because I guess...I don't really know how to use it (I've only painted with it once).
People often mistake my watercolor paintings for acrylic though...
