Day 29- In this past month, what have you learned

How to make flea powder out of essence oils using peppermint, eculypus and rosemary. I put 3 drops of each in a cup of cornflour and then sprinkled over the cat, you have to do this every 3 days until they are gone! There is some cool software for artists to aid in getting organised. I'm not so good at handling sicknesses. Tobacco is easy to grow, I finally planted my seedlings yesterday and they have already taken off. My child is Wiggle crazy she could watch and listen to The Wiggles 24/7. Skype now offers video conferencing, a very cool feature just in time for my online art marketing group that starts in 10 days. How to use Wordpress. That the Tourist is a cool movie that I would be happy to watch again. Not to leave the zinc cream in reach of wee Maddy cause she will be covered in it and then start on the cat. And lastly that you can never be sure when Mother Nature is going to strike.

I'm really trying to finish my painting so much that I was painting next to Maddy having a bath last night. She wanted to paint too!

I have just been checking out Len Lye's work this morning on Youtube so I thought I would share, he was so ahead of his time!

Art Every Day Month Day 13 - Basic Colour Theory

An understanding of the basics of colour theory is essential for every artist and increases the possibilities for your work. Colours are, after all, one of the basic tools of painting. Here are some of the things I have learnt. The Colour Wheel Most color wheels are based on three primary colours, three secondary colours, and the six intermediates formed by mixing a primary with a secondary, known as tertiary colours, for a total of 12 main divisions; some add more intermediates, for 24 named colors like this one. Primary colours: Are the three colours that cannot be created by mixing other colours together - red, yellow, and blue. Secondary colours: A secondary colour is made by mixing two primary colours together: red and yellow to get orange, yellow and blue to get green, or red and blue to get purple. The secondary colour depends on the proportion in which you mix the two primaries. For example, if you add more red than yellow, you get a reddish orange,...
