6 Art Tips from @npub1d0qlf...
What is your favorite media?
Adam: I have worked with all kinds of materials during my studies and I don't have a favorite. There are materials that are suitable and unsuitable for a given job.
- Stone Mosaic:
When working with natural stone mosaic, take breaks from using the mosaic hammer. Working for 5 hours without a break will result in less and poorer quality work than working for 5 hours with 5 breaks.
- Paint:
When working with paint brushes, be aware that there are two types. Those for working with water-based paints and those for solvent-based paints.
- Pyrography:
When working with a pyrograph, it is almost certain that you will burn yourself at some point!
- Pencil:
When working with a pencil, please do not sharpen it with a sharpener. It just doesn't look serious...
- Carving:
If you happen to be making a night light out of a gourd, the best way to achieve the necessary transparency of the material is to work in the evening with a light bulb inserted inside the bottle. This way, you can control how thin to make the shell before piercing it.
- Glass:
When working with glass, wear safety goggles. I once slept with a 6 mm piece of glass in my eye. In the morning, I realized how lucky I was. I have no idea how there were no consequences!
