Study #1 Moon Road


Left:
. paper coated with white gesso
. acrylic colors only, 2-3 layers

Right:
. no gesso
. refined with oil pastels

Conclusion
Both results are no good. Maybe the acrylic paper just sucks? :/
(I have no problem with acrylic on watercolor papers.. so far.)

Any tips around using acrylic paints on paper?

Slytherclaw Confessions #1

*
Should be obvious:
people allergy stamp - clean by tirsden Ew People by electr0kill Polite does not equal Friend by Magic92

*
So just now I heard a kid in my flat learning to play recorder/flute. While I'm not that of a prominent player, I'm quite talented in musical instruments indeed. But there's no way I'll tutor that kid because,
1. Well, no one here knows I could be an expert 'coz I don't show off - in my room most of the time.
2. If I had a chance though I'd be focusing showing off rather than teaching the kid.
3. I HATE kids anyway. All personalities of all kinds.

*BA DUM TSS*? :/

*
Compliments from Hufflepuffs don't count. 'Coz they're nice to everyone, they don't hate anyone.

*
I instantly perceive almost everyone as my competitor, especially the ones around my age.  Even Hufflepuffs are not excluded!

*
Why I don't want CLOSE friends (f*mily & relatives included): they potentially INTRUDE, INTERFERE with my life!!!

Slytherclaw Musings #5: On Criticism and Beyond I


The thing about critique request is..

..it would be really sincere (and working) only when you are on fire:
1. Red light on - you feel genuinely safe, when there's no judgement.. or to be more precise, when judgements don't define your identity, when you know they wont affect your self worth, just simply DON'T MATTER!
2. Orange (and maybe also blue) light on - you feel like playing, overflowing, self-expressing
3. Yellow light on - your power house/generator is running, you feel like expanding, opening up to improvements

Perhaps you've figured out what I'm talking about: the chakras.

Somehow this alignment happened to me lately, and especially today I realized something: I remember feeling the same sense of flow way back when I was taking English conversation course (I'm not a native speaker). I've written about this countless times in my personal journals but still seemingly can't get enough being amazed by how incredible the experience was.

To put it shortly, I was instinctively being really playful. I joined the course for skill but mainly for FUN. Scores didn't matter, I boldly spoke through the whole sessions, had no fear of making mistakes even if I did I was totally open to corrections from the teacher in whatever aspects in which improvements needed. The flow, the sense of play, the spirit of wonder of an amateur!

Feedback Please :D by KillboxGraphics Critiques wanted by prosaix Novice Stamp by J7MiGi 

That's shall be the moment where criticism is involved. When the mind (and heart) is ready, the feedback received would most likely affect the student in a positive instead of negative way.

"But how do I achieve that alignment?" you asked. Hmm.. that, I can't speak for everyone. But creating a physically-emotionally-mentally SAVE environment around regarding whatever your endeavor is should be a great start.

(to be continued)


*
In case you're wondering, yeesss.. the end result of my 'play' in the English Conversation class was an ultimate set of flying colors - the very best of all, oh yeah! B-) Never really concerned about result but got the best instead! How cool is that!

Slytherclaw Musings #4


When a genius is overwhelmed.. 

*
Wait, what? You don't believe I'm a genius?
No matter. This is self-validated and I 100% validate the self-validating path. As expected from a Slytherin. Ego is one of my compasses, you see. 8-) But then I'm also a Ravenclaw, almost too lazy to prove my faculties. A picnic alone with tea sounds a much better idea - for the time being. :tea:

Being a genius is hard.
Because you'll connect everything to everything!!

No it's NOT fun if you don't have control over - or at least haven't MASTERED - it!!

Slytherclaw Musings #2: The Stranger I


Don't be deceived by my seemingly inviting smile
It doesn't I'm in for a chat
Don't expect too much from my open gesture
It never means I'm open for friendship

Please don't make any conclusion
That I'm normal
That I'm sociable
That I'm a knight or straight doer or something
who would normally go with universal creeds of common sense
who would help an elderly crossing the street

Because in spite of my high sensitivity & occasional friendliness
Doesn't mean I'm all water
Be very careful
For sharp ice stalactites are also a body of water

Despite my seemingly intelligent appearance
Don't make quick assumptions
That I'm all about logic
For I've thrown it away 97%
That I'll fit in any of your categories
Of occupation, education, all any-electrodigital-card-based identity
That I'll answer your questions as 'highly-educatedly' as expected
That I'll reply with TED-talks style comments
That I'll agree with your ideal principles, all annoying must-s & should-s!

Because underneath those smart, dark-plain themed clothes
Is a colorful, eccentric soul with nebulaes of multiverses
Of way of thinking you wont be able to predict

My reactions might offend you
But that's only because
Your IGNORANCE was getting to me in the first place!

That's why I mostly avoid people
EXPECTATIONS, IGNORANCE, DISTURBANCES

So again,
Don't be fooled by my friendly smile
Because the truth is I never want to connect
Or at the very least
I DON'T. EVER. want to be FORCED to connect!!


*
Why would I want to connect anyway?
I've got already all the highly diverse galaxies inside

(to be continued)
