ArtCycle Foundation: Turning Old Sneakers into New Stories through Art, Recycling and Community Empowerment
A pair of old sneakers can be more than just something forgotten in the back of a cupboard or under the bed. It can become a canvas, a creative expression, and a symbol of hope for someone who needs it. This is the vision behind ArtCycle Foundation, a growing creative social initiative focused on collecting second-hand sneakers and tekkies, transforming them through artistic restoration, and donating them to children and adults who need quality footwear. ArtCycle Foundation believes that […] -
Picked up my package of new #waterColour / #aquarelle #paints today, so it was also time to clean up and re-arrange my #waterColours #painting case.
Added six new half-pans from #RoyalTalens' #VanGogh brand which I'd ordered last week from #Panduro here in Norway.
All of them are new colours to me, so I'm looking forward to swatching them and putting them to use. Some of them are convenience colours (Permanent Yellow-Green and Permanent Orange).
Another is a different shade of red (Vermillion Red, in addition to the Permanent Red Deep from earlier) because I didn't like the ones that came in the Panduro base set.
Others are to try them out and compare them to the ones I already use, such as the Gamboge Yellow 238 (which looked nice and vibrant on the online sample), and Prussian Blue (because it's such an often referenced colour, and I'm not always satisfied with the ultramarine).
And finally some Opaque White, so I don't have to mix guache with my aquarelle paints when I want to add some white.#artSupplies #paintSupplies #waterColourPaints #waterColors #FiXatoPaints #FiXatoCreative #FiXatoFoto #dailyPhoto #PanduroPaints #PanduroWatercolourBasicSet #studioQuality

Unfortunately the local #Panduro shop had only 4 of the 6 of 7 #VanGogh water colour paints that I wanted to get.
On top of that, contrary to the webshop, they apparently only had a 3-for-2 offer, rather than the flat 33%-off offer online. Which meant I ended up getting only the Permanent Red Deep, Lemon Yellow and Cerulean Blue, and leaving the Prussian Blue for the next time they have an offer.
Unfortunately the physical shop didn't carry the Indian Yellow nor the Gamboge 238, nor the Permanent Yellow Green 633 that I also considered getting.I will see tomorrow though if their webcare team can clarify why there is a difference in offers online and in their brick-and-mortar shops while it's not being made clear on their website as such.

Local #artSupplies shop has 33% off on #VanGogh #waterColours half-pans, so now might be a good time to fill my #aquarel #painting set again.
Definitely running low on yellow and orange, and light blue, and I still want to try out a different red and dark blue.
Will probably add permanent red, Indian Yellow or Gamboge 238, Prussian Blue, Cerulean Pthalo Blue, and Permanent Yellow Green 633 to my palette.

The Jain's Death and Rebirth in Water Colours
After reading "The Jain's Death", a comic suggested earlier today by @RussSharek, I wanted to paint two scenes from it.
Page 26, depicting a tiger hidden among jungle foliage at night, and page 45-g, showing some kind of a geothermal energy explosion or eruption, stood out the most to me. They also both had a limited hue palette, and were quite contrasting, which suited me well as I have been wanting to try a couple of fairly #monochromatic paintings in preparation for #huevember, after seeing @dona's huevember creation.So, I hope you will enjoy my #painting The Jain's Death and Rebirth in Water Colours.

Bought some new #waterColour #paints, my first 'proper' ones rather than the usual kids' set, and found an #aquarelle pad from my childhood that barely saw any use, and hope to bring some change to that.
Won't be tonight though. Maybe tomorrow during the day.
