For those who have many watchers, and for those who don’t have many, it is hard to know how one retains that interest as well as receive more. This article explores the basics of watchers and how we react to certain situations. Although it does not affect some deviants, and the tips are generally related to common sense, we hope the article is a worthwhile read and that the majority learn something from reading this.

Artist's Comments
This is a painting I did for a board graphics contest for a longboard skating site I'm a member of.
This is all hand painted, freehanded using acrylic paints on a blank 49x11" Eastbilt deck, that I first primed with PVA size. I started out by drawing the basic image on with chalk, then painted those lines, wiping off the chalk as I went. The rest was painted via many layers of mixed black, combined with mediums to make an acrylic glaze, and just a touch of translucent white for a few of the highlights. The layering gives it nice depth and richness. The fish is inspired by the Coelacanth (aka "the living fossil"), and the landscape is taken from the geography of Guilin, China. For any art geeks out there, the black color is mixed using carbon black (Golden brand), phthalocyanine green (Liqutex brand), and quinacridone red (Golden brand). The white was zinc whit (also Golden brand). The mediums I mixed with were Golden Gac 100 and Golden Fluid Matte Meduim. I have photos of the whole process as I went along. The final photos are courtesy anotherartgeek (thanks love ^_^) check out the other contestants great work at [link] No voting unless you are already a member of the site.  |
