Beautiful palette and lakeside scenery there, 80. And the last one here, seems to be some evidence pointing to more partaking of the Cognac on the bus. Hopefully this is a beautiful warm spring day since these ladies have decided to frolic with Pan or this man with only his pants in nothing but their birthday suits.

I remember when I was about 5yo I went to a camp where they had a tradition of tossin' the camp counselors into the pool fully clothed on their birthday. But as it was, at me summer camp nobody had taken their clothes off. . . Whereas, doon tha nudist colony it was an altogether different affair. Everyone into tha pool! Don't need no excuse in this heat.

And yeah, the other one of the docks in Denmark or wherever that village was, looks good. Nice sense of space. Good touch oop.

So you feel the heat across the continent and o'er the pond, is it, lad? At least you picked a hot picture to cool down. I'm guessing the water balloons are about to come out.

Heads oop, my dear sir! Ye shall soon be drenched, one way or t'other.

Wooohooooo!!!!!!

Incidentally, I was just watching a documentary from the BBC (who else?) on Van Gogh's ear. Nobody knows for certain, boot they found accounts and a drawing that he only cut off the lower portion of one ear. The historian on hand said something like, "For the most famous story around a painting in history, to find he just cut off the lobe was a bit underwhelming." (She sounds a wee bit British, eh? and she is.)

They weren't even sure the girl he gave it to was a prostitute. Some accounts say she was just a shop girl. Ploos, the papers at the time were making all kinds of mistakes, like one claimed he was Polish, and so forth. So it's a story that took on a life of its own in the telling after telling, like working a clay sculpture.

But as you're dallying with the naked nymphs, I would take special care to not slice off too many body parts as parting gifts for playing our game. T'would likely lop-side yer venerable beard and cause ye ta part yer hair different.

Gogh Man GOGH!

Poor lassie with the guitar didn't get invited to the bacchanal. Bummer. I think it put her strings in a twist.

Looking good on the bacchanal though. Very relaxing after a release of tension. Makes a painter want to sleep afterwards.

I could hear the one voice in the Bougerreau calling out whether you're done. But I also can hear the lassies lament they're not there yet.

Back to the grindstone, MacPloos. Yer appetites for paintin' folks an' stoff is legendary in their sheer complexity. Most would faint clean away into the muck and mire. Boot there ye be, sailin' on through undaunted and victorious. . . So hurry oop an' finish the lassies 'ere they start mockin' -- not ta be confused with muckin' aboot.

Looking down right modern with that technique there, MacPloos. There are other artists I'm not exactly familiar with, but in a way you're going to a place ol' Gaughin went -- and I'm no talkin' the South Pacific, neither. The breaking up of the canvas into colors that work as an end in itself is a very pleasing way to go -- an island with lots of room to explore, ploos more topless girls -- can't be bad, can it?

Cartuneman lived in Arizona or Nevada or Colorado or somewhere in the wild and woolly western USA. Up to his elbows in cowboy reenactments and western paintings and such. Was good too. I think he left because somebody annoying from way north said something annoying and he left in a huff or puff. Too bad. His stuff was great and he was a wonderful contributor. But I think he was also having some health issues so he probably decided to take it easy. Hope he's well.

No idea what ASDA is, but remembering passwords is not anybody's strong suit usually. You may want to start writing important ones down in a book you keep at your elbow. Books are easier to find than scraps of paper I've found the hard way.

Sorry you're down to porridge. But consider it like the old days when you first started on the forums. You were big on porridge, which was like a blank canvas of sorts and saltanas was like your paint.

Stay fed, lad. Hope your kindly neighbor gets back soon.

That's a great portrait of Sandy (Alexandra), especially considering the pic you're going by. Good man.

Hey there MacPloos! I don't have an iPad anything so I can't suggest anything.

But according to "for Dummies":
https://www.dummies.com/consumer-electronics/tablets/ipad/how-to-save-web-pictures-on-the-ipad/

This is the one-step way. On the Dummies web page there's some alternatives, but this is the essential thing to do. I image that you need to find where you save it to or it may ask when you're in process. I don't have one so I don't know.

1) Press your finger against the image.

2) Tap the Save Image button that appears, as shown in the figure

Are you asking who broke up the Persian Empire in ancient times? I think it were none other than Alexander the Great. That was before Caesar so don't blame the lad. He's probably sunning his Italian self on some Mediterranean beach and dipping his watercolor brush into the sea. So I don't think he's in the mood for conquest -- leastwise not an entire empire's worth of women. He's getting too old for those kinds of shenanigans.

Listen, MacDoogal, ye needs ta take nourishment on a regular basis. Next time you get a belly dancin' leg wrapper coming by to bring you dates from the oasis, try the cous-cous, a little goat cheese, some baklava. . . It's a marvelous opportunity to eat outside your comfort zone. Shredded Wheat? It's fine if you have enough sugar and milk. But take advantage of the local cuisine.

Is this what you wanted to know Mr Ploos?

In 1935 the Iranian government requested those countries which it had diplomatic relations with, to call Persia "Iran," which is the name of the country in Persian. The suggestion for the change is said to have come from the Iranian ambassador to Germany, who came under the influence of the Nazis. www.iranchamber.com/geography/articles/persia_became_iran.php

Who is the person you are drawing? Is it from an old picture?

D Akey
08-27-2018, 08:29 PM
That's one way to get a drawing to start with -- using a filter effect. Nice idea. The trick then is to make the rest of the work match that outline. The line makes it sharp and hard and the soft airbrush is a different look. Now it's a matter of bridging the two approaches. I suppose one way is to paint over the line work or hide that layer with the drawing on it.

Cool. Go man go!!!

Why I believe it's none other than the son of Whistler's Mother his very own artistic self: James McNeill Whistler (not to be confused with old time radio series The Whistler). But even though Whistler was an American, he spent his painterly days in Paris and London.

Have to love the lavish abundance wherein they insert the sponsor's name in old time radio. Don't know if you guys had this series over there.

D Akey
08-28-2018, 04:07 AM
I think perhaps you may want to look at the way the shadow breaks up the form. There's a shadow side and a light side. And where they intersect it describes the form and for graphic artists (as opposed to full rendering type of painters) breaking an image down to the light area and the dark area in a high contrast way is often all they need or care about because it's graphic.

But for someone wanting to copy an original where it shows volume, you want to probably replicate that volume. You're losing your form by not including the shadow area. I think you'll be far more satisfied if you put that part in.

Go man go!!!!!!!!!!!

How about trying a different tool, MacPloos? Chalk pastel might be fun. I sure like it. Here's an old one done back about a hundred years ago give or take a decade. Loosen you out of trying to get a perfect likeness because there's not one. This is all about the painting as a whole. Have some fun with pastel colors on a toothy canvas.

The artist is Archibald Antonius Joan 'Rob' Graafland Maastricht 1875-1940 Heerlen Girl

Just helped my mom getting my step-father one of those electric wheel chairs. His knees are completely shot. And I think this is going to make all the difference. A little cost, but since it's getting him out of bed it's well worth it. Easiest thing to use as well.

If it's something you can get National Health to assist with, you may want to look into something like that where you can navigate tight living spaces. Plus they have a thing here where the mass transit will do door to door service for people in wheel chairs, motorized or not.

I ran into a lady down the pharmacy who had some kind of massive disability but a clear head and when asking her about it she was very helpful and spoke of all the things she could now do alone. Amazing.

Give it a thought with your legs. You may be in so much pain trying to walk that you just want to sleep. Could give you a new lease on life, with a ramp at your front door. The one-seater Ploos Boos would get you out and sketching again.

Haven't seen the lad since the Ides o' March Hares gone a couple years. Flinging open my diary, let's see now. . .

It seems he was going to be retiring by now. I also think he got frustrated with the lack of women to flirt with.

Also I think he felt the lack of support judging by the lack of response when he was going all political with the boatloads of refugee immigrants from Africa -- fearing Italian culture was about to be washed away and nobody was posting bilingually in Italian and English which I believe he took as a personal insult seeing as I did it for Portuguese and Spanish but omitted Italian. I did so because I though he was fluent.

Also I blame myself some for writing to you in all kinds of English and Scottish dialect. I thought he spoke English, but I can see that he mostly used Google Translate and I don't think it could handle the broken phonetic spellings.

Also Andrea and Caesar left in the same boat it seems. I reckon they set off for the Isle of Lesbos to speak to the Lesbians about their keen interest in World Cups -- or was that cups of the world?

Sorry Lad. If you have any questions about Caesar, I would consult Pliny the Elder. Just do it before Vesuvius erupts.

I think there may have been a few paintings of horsemen. Would need a hint. Was it a drawing or painting or even sculpture, or a drawing of a sculpture or the copy of a drawing of a sculpture or even a painting done from the drawing of a sculpture? Maybe it was a drawing from a photo or a jpeg of a drawing from a photo?

I'm getting mixed up. Was he on a horse or partly a horse? Well, this one is by Boris Vallejo. Something to work on while you're looking for the other one.

Awesome! Well done MacPloos! Good lay-in with the drawing. Colors are heading in the right direction for the copy as well.

Okay, requested crit: You need more banana on your cornflakes.

Other than that it looks pretty good. I think the thing you want to pay attention to in the next phase is minding your anatomy. . . I mean not yours personally--which I suppose you could leave to the nurses. I mean is the anatomy of the figures. You have the proportions pretty good. But when you do the centaur's arms for example you want to not have the arm pinch too much throughout. But that's something you will attend to when you get to painting.

So you're not wrong or even rusty. I think you're doing surprisingly well for having taken time off. Great to see. And top marks for this stage. Just clean it up as you go and it will be perfect.

Go MAN GO!!!! To OLYMPIA-a-a-a-a-a. . .!!!!!! You might find a centaur or two there. . . not to mention some good anatomical specimens.

Ah, so I see you've discovered Frank Frazetta. Nice portrait. He came before Boris and set the tone for all that fantasy illustration art. He also worked as an artist on the old USA comic strip Li'l Abner and did all those great Conan the Barbarian book illustrations etc. Extremely influential.

The one of the warrior lassie in the provocative pose, let me just say this, MacPloos, you are right in the zone where so many of those artists have gone. Seeing as you have been covering the history of art, you opened a door to this room. A lot of fun. Nothing too serious. And great Halloween dress-up fare.
