I have finally realized that rich colors require many, many layers and lots of drying time between all those layers. Ergo: rich colors = much patience. Le sigh. 2 Quote Life before Death Strength before Weakness Journey before Destination Link to comment

Maybe you should have a few paintings to work on at one time so one is ready while the other is drying. 2 Quote Let cheese and oxen and mead crowd out our secret desires for power and domination - Harriet the Viking Just be bold, fluid and unapologetic, not small, hairy and indecisive - Harriet the Artist You can absorb me! - Harriet the Contextless Guru Link to comment

Maybe you should have a few paintings to work on at one time so one is ready while the other is drying. I have thought the same thing. I was loath to remove paper from the notebook to do that, but I might need to because my brain gets very focused when I am in an art phase and I find it difficult to stop and literally watch paint dry 😅 1 Quote Life before Death Strength before Weakness Journey before Destination Link to comment

I still get more of a fluffy sheep vibe, with the rhinophores are the sheep ears rather than cattle horns. ☺️ Longhorn cattle are pretty epic tho. 1 Quote Link to comment

The cerata on a sea sheep actually looks quite a bit like leaves, as they are green 💚 Doesn't it look like a cartoon? 😅 3 Quote Life before Death Strength before Weakness Journey before Destination Link to comment

If you mean the rhinophores or the part that looks like the "ears" (although they are actually for smelling), then yes. I do not belive they have individual motor control of the cerata or "leaves". The leaves are actually capable of photosynthesis, though! They absorb the chloroplasts from the algae they eat and can use it for up to 10 days. 2 Quote Life before Death Strength before Weakness Journey before Destination Link to comment
