Last night I got home from teaching the #watercolor class and decided to sit down and paint. I’ve been having a hard time getting started so I picked one of the phenomenal bird photos from @Jgbird as a reference

(Paints used: #qor #paynesgrey #burntumber #quinacridonemagenta)

The #watercolor class went like this: approximately 30 seconds into the lesson “WHERE IS THE PAPER SO I CAN START PAINTING”

The kids get the paper, mostly ignore me, paint one picture, run off

Me and the other parents kept talking and painting. This was the vibe in the room

Teaching a class for 10 year olds tomorrow about watercolors. This is the color wheel I made with the #watercolor set we are providing them. I think the iPhone camera is doing this wheel a bit of a favor. Also it’s still a bit wet in the photo and it’s dried down a bit since then

(It’s the Jack Richeson 16 color set)

Look at this shit I have to deal with

@jwz I’ve started associating AI with cocaine so much that I have started doing it backwards, replacing cocaine references with AI

And then there is this headline

Today was warm out. It’s that time of the year where the #snow melts enough so you can see the #mouse tunnels

@MLE_online I almost forgot, I was at scout camp and thinking of your cats a couple of weeks ago

Tried to send it then but only had one bar. (Also I had a funnier caption at the time, sadly)

Pfffffft okay but what if I put the photo in first before I write the rest

Anyway the X-700 is sturdy, and fairly easy to operate with thin gloves. Best part, the split/prism finder is big, and can accommodate reading glasses very well. I was worried about being able to tell what was in focus but I do not have that worry after my walk yesterday.

It’s making me wish I would have put a split prism screen in my Olympus OM-1 #kodacolor200 #minoltax700

Hope this isn’t my invitation to the Singularity, because this is my phone
