Roman Szmal new colours includes velvet black. Made of these pigments, PR264 and PG7. Sort of works but has quite a greeney tinge. Flooers and a cat to see if it works. Wonder if the pro one is greeney or better balanced. Quarter Aquafine. Aqua Elite no2.
Having let the puddle of fake Velvet Black dry I thought I'd fill the rest of the actually half postcard Aquafine I started with.
It's still greeney, but these came out well. More monochrome, and ye get a hen. Was gonnae add a dragon to that sky but a hen, a cat *and* a dragon seemed like over egging the splodge. So it's a funny tern.
If I want very dark and green I have the Terre Verte Brulée, so it seems a little redundant, but it was an interesting try. And given snobby attitudes and implications of quality, the PG7 is Cotman student grade, and the PR264 is Winsor Red Deep, pro grade. And they mix fine.
Seawhite standard 7.5x3.5cm. Perylene Violet. Aqua Elite no2 and Cotman 00.
The sky didn't rain down as far as I meant. And there was a hair or bit of fluff on the fron left hill, wet paper is easily damaged, in the removal of said fluff, so ye get a big dark tree.
No sure if the flight of dragons is heading from or to the castle. Defenders or attackers.
@Gnomeshatecheese I was thinking that setting up the waste processing plants - creating the output - would have been a better way to go, and the loss til input ramped up would be a useful purpose for public funds, instead of expecting everything to be profit bearing or not exist.
but it's disheartening to know that deals and stupidity are everywhere. we need somebody to look up to!
you are right it should have been done gradually, but that's boring. having systems that work in place before scaling upward. much better to start a new company with a CEO on £300k salary and 54 employees, buy machines to scan the bottles and cans.... and then realise you'll have to ship them to England because we don't have any waste processing capacity here. eejits.
all I have to say on that horrendous story is 1. it's true or 2. there's something we don't know or it's not true. Either way major news outlets should have an interest in covering it. Either we uncover corrupt policing. or we restore faith in policing. Both in public interest. Gerronwi'it
@Fullycaffeinated the ideal is both subject and child raising/teaching qualified. but of the two.... maybe good with kids, level headed and with an enquiring mind would be better.
this is wild. 9% of those polled think you should not be able to afford to rent a flat or house on minimum wage.
where do they think the people on minimum wage are supposed to live. By not earning enough to live on they end up having their wage supplemented by the state. eg Housing Benefit - now wrapped up into Universal Credit. What the idiots in the tabloids and those buying the bloody tabloids and the 9% in this poll think is that the person on minimum wage is receiving something extra.
They aren't.
Their employer is. The company they work for is the one receiving the subsidy. which particularly in the case of Housing Benefit is going to straight to the landlord. if they move somewhere cheaper, they don't get any more money to spend - the state saves a bit. The employer still gets that person's labour for LESS THAN THEY NEED TO LIVE ON. which means the minimum is set in the wrong place.
I do wish it would be seen for what it is - wage subsidies.
