The Magic of Color the magic of color Lancaster, PA kimsmithfineart [email protected] kimmyerssmith kimmyerssmith.com kimsmithfineart let’s connect! let’s connect! the magic of color The endless nuances of color in oil paint are nothing short of magic. Rich, creamy, buttery oil paints, beautiful in their pure form, are sometimes even more gorgeous when mixed with each other. The options are never-ending—whether your goal is to achieve bright, brilliant color or soft, subtle color, or anything in between, beginning with the basics is best. And then you can proceed with joy and confidence. Join me as I explore color mixing with a few of my very favorite colors. “ Colors, like features, follow the changes of the emotions.” – Pablo Picasso the magic of color “Red is the ultimate cure for sadness.” – Bill Blass Some of my favorite reds Red.

RADIANT PINK—Gamblin—is a transparent, a quinacridone violet pigment, that is strong and clear, and makes lovely mid-tone pinks. I love how it mixes with other paints, those similar in color as well as its complementary colors. PORTLAND WARM GREY—Gamblin—Tilts toward red, and warms what color it is mixing with. Soft and romantic. TITANIUM WHITE—Gamblin—Strongest, most brilliant white.

  • Opaque Colors
    When glazing, it helps to know which colors are transparent and which are opaque. Whether a particular color is transparent or opaque has to do simply with its inherent chemical makeup. An opaque color will offer more coverage than a transparent one; that much is obvious. But it is important to remember that opacity and transparency have nothing to do with color saturation/intensity or color permanence. Both groups contain fugitive colors as well as powerful ones (red can fade quickly in UV light; blue used in even small quantities will turn the mixture strongly blue). This list is provided to help you determine which colors are best used for underpainting, which are best for glazing right out of the tube, and which may require the use of a glazing medium.

  • The Arkvaults the Human Conundrum
    1-Jul-18 A pan-galactic group that consists of dozens of species all working together to a common cause, the Watchers have been observing humanity for thousands of years. Their standing order is not to involve themselves in the affairs of a sentient species until they reach a level of technological and cultural sophistication. Once this level is reached, the Watchers reveal themselves and the world is honoured by joining the Watcher Hegemony. On Earth there is something wrong. Outside influences are interfering with humanity's development. Technologies are available that are decades, if not centuries, beyond their time. The Watchers came to the Earth to free humanity from the various unnatural influences that had taken hold, however recent events have caused their mission to change. One day the Watchers will be able to recontact their people ad bring the full might of the Hegemony to this backwater ball of dirt. Until then, the Watchers rebuild their forces in secret, raiding settlements for raw materials and hunting down those who would threaten their own survival on this harsh and unforgiving alien world. Diagnostic Event Recital gateways at key points across the galaxy traversing Amber Alpha Jocasta distances that would otherwise take centuries. Travelling from their idyllic Sphere-Worlds through For over six thousand years the Watchers have this network of portals, the Watchers use large maintained peace in the galaxy. Led by the noble spacecraft known as Arkvaults to extend their vigil Guardians, the Hegemony of Watcher Clades have to the hundreds of thousands of planets that worked in unity to observe the myriad worlds for harbour sentient life.

  • Cerulean Warbler Setophaga Cerulea
    Appendix A: Birds Cerulean Warbler Setophaga cerulea Federal Listing N/A State Listing SC Global Rank G4 State Rank S1 Regional Status Very High Photo by Dennis Skillman Justification (Reason for Concern in NH) The Cerulean Warbler has been declining across its range at ‐2.91%/year, and in the Northeast (USFWS Region 5) at ‐2.14%/year (Sauer et al. 2014). The New Hampshire population has always been quite small, and Cerulean Warblers may have disappeared from their only reliable breeding site – Pawtuckaway State Park – after 2012. Cerulean Warbler is considered an SGCN in all states where it occurs, as well as an RSGCN in USFWS Region 5. It is also on the Partners in Flight Watch List and the focus of a working group dedicated to range‐wide and full life cycle conservation of the species. Distribution The Cerulean Warbler currently breeds across much of the Midwest and Appalachians from Minnesota and Arkansas to North Carolina and New York, although its distribution is highly patchy in much of this range. It is rare in New England, where it occurs in small isolated populations in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, and New Hampshire. It winters in the highland of northwestern South America from Venezuela to (rarely) Bolivia. Populations in the northeastern United States expanded somewhat during the 1980s (McGowan and Corwin 2008, MassAudubon 2014), including scattered breeding season records in New Hampshire (Foss 1994). It was first recorded breeding in the state in 1995 at Pawtuckaway State Park (Deerfield/Nottingham), where a maximum of four singing males have been reported. Birds were reliable at Pawtuckaway from the early 1990s through 2010, but there is only one record – from late May 2012 – since that time and the species may have disappeared from the site.

  • Cerulean Warbler (Setophaga Cerulea) Species Guidance Family: Parulidae – the Wood-Warblers
    Cerulean Warbler (Setophaga cerulea) Species Guidance Family: Parulidae – the wood-warblers State Status: Threatened (1989) State Rank: S2S3B Federal Status: None Global Rank: G4 Wildlife Action Plan Mean Risk Score: 4.1 Wildlife Action Plan Area of Counties with documented locations of Importance Score: 2 Cerulean Warbler breeding or breeding Photo by Dennis Malueg evidence in Wisconsin. Source: Natural Heritage Inventory Database, October 2018. Species Information General Description: The Cerulean Warbler is a small songbird (11.5 cm [4.5 in]) with long, pointed wings and a short tail. Sexes are dimorphic in both basic and alternate plumages. Both sexes have two broad white wing bars, white tail spots, and dark streaking down the side and flanks. Males have sky-blue head and upperparts, blackish wings and tail, blackish streaking on back, and narrow blue-gray chest band. Females have blue-green head and upperparts, a prominent pale supercilium (stripe above the eye), and underparts that are typically washed with pale yellow. Females also lack blackish streaking on the back. Immatures resemble females (Howell and Webb 1995, Dunn and Garrett 1997). The song is composed of three parts: a long introductory section and shorter middle section on the same pitch, followed by a final buzz on a higher pitch. Songs can be described as ZEE ZEE ZEE ZIZIZIZI ZZZEEET (Flaspohler 1993, Hamel 2000a). An example of a typical song can be heard here: <http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Cerulean_Warbler/sounds> Definitive Identification: The upperparts of all but the immature females have distinctive bluish tones. The small size, short-tailed appearance, prominent supercilium, and absence of back streaks help to distinguish adult and immature female Cerulean Warblers from other similar species (Dunn and Garrett 1997).

  • PROCION MX COLOR MIXING CHART There Are 11 Standardized Colors (See Procion MX Color Info) in the Procion MX Line
    PROCION MX COLOR MIXING CHART There are 11 standardized colors (see Procion MX Color Info) in the Procion MX line. All other colors, no matter the manufacturer, are mixed formulas of two or more of these standardized colors. We offer the extended palette for your convenience, and our entire color line is used in the formulas below, but the ultimate dyer needs only to stock the standardized colors. If color specificity is very important to you we recommend developing your own set of recipes using the standardized colors. An unlimited color palette can be mixed with Procion MX fiber reactive dyes. Measured quantities of specific colors yield predictable new colors. These color formulas or recipes are suggestions for color. The variables of fiber type and processing, water purity, temperature and freshness of chemical assistants can dramatically vary the dyed results. Always run dye tests, observe and record results before any major dye run. the following color recipes in column four are for one pound of fiber. All measurements are in teaspoons of dye powder. For your convenience, column two lists formulas using the "parts method." Reduce or expand the recipe proportionally to match the weight of the fiber.
