I wonder if there is such thing as a person who's not compensating for something.

I caught a glimpse of one of those in my garden one day. I haven't seen one since. The way they move is totally hummingbird, but the hair is moth. Odd creature. I felt lucky to see it.

Nigellas - To be fair, there is a good chance she would have to look up what "tenebrism" is, and I bet she has no idea how to get her chiaroscuro on, or how much she ought to hate gouache! Wait, that last one may just be me.

Anyway, hey! I was an art student, and I take offense!

So, you're saying I should think gouache is gauche?

(and I'd totally have to look all of those up. I think at one point I knew what chiaroscuro was but that knowledge has long since been replaced by something really crucial to life - like the Animaniacs theme song lyrics

)

Ha! My concentration was watercolor - I always felt like gouache was inferior, lol. And sorry, I often forget my self-deprecation could accidentally include others.

Remember this guy? He's half faverolle, half black EE... Aster baby...

Totally loved the color changes that happened with him. He is skittish and does not like to come around people at all. Him and his loner brood mates... Well I finally caught a pic of him today... I had to zoom in a lot with the phone, and this was as close as I could get in the trees with out him heading for the thicket.

"tenebrism" is, and I bet she has no idea how to get her chiaroscuro on,

It has been quite some time since I had "art history", but aren't these terms related to shading?

Holy sweet cuppin' cakes! I think I need to get the screenprinting inks out...

CG, I need a prayer. One that calls for keeping my tongue in my mouth and my foot out of it.

We all need that prayer. We should just make it a group thing!

 

[NovaAman]

he he. I don't think that'll work here.

Yes, they are both kind of the same thing - very dramatic lighting. Strong light/dark contrast.
