kitkat-bar asked: Hey, lady-- any chance you could do a tutorial sometime? I'm trying to learn how to do watercolors, but they always end up looking so heavy and blurring together. Yours always look so wonderful; I'd love to learn from someone I admire so much! THAT BEING SAID of course if you're too busy or not wanting to, I totes understand!

Yeah, I’d be pretty jazzed to do that, honestly. We could set up something in Livestream, even. Then it’s live and you can ask me about all the shit I’ve undoubtedly forgotten.

If this speaks to anyone else, let me know! Though I’m happy to do it for even just one person, so it’s all good.

The funny thing when you know how to do something is that sometimes you can’t remember what you used to not know, and you have no idea what you actually DO know. So I find I learn from trying to teach all the time.

Let me know what you’re interested in learning, or specific problems you’re having. Then I can figure out what the hell I know that can address it, haha. I feel like a video well be most useful regardless of whether you watch me make it live or not, but let me know if that idea appeals to you! I don’t have anything going on this weekend that I know of, so we could even do it then if that suits you. I was thinking I wanted to stream something soon anyway, so this could work out!

(You may also want to request a particular subject matter for me showing you stuff, otherwise you’re at my mercy and could end up with Banshee, Londo, Garak, or Johnny indirectly teaching you to make space backgrounds or whatever. You may still be at that mercy depending on what is on my list, but it doesn’t hurt to try to skew it in your favor haha.)

I can’t access live stream right now, and it’s been finicky for me lately regarding saving shit, but my first and so far only traditional livestream video was water color and had me talking a lot about what I’m doing. It might be up in my video library if you want to look at that.

SO hey, this is a thing that will be done! Probably this weekend, since next weekend I’ll be at Gallifrey.

But just in case other people want to attend a session of ‘Lady tries to teach things’ vs. ‘Lady screams about aliens and draws on the wrong layer’, now you know about it.

I don’t have a specific time or even a specific topic yet - I’d mostly get those from the person who first brought that up - but if you have time for me, maybe consider it~!

oh my gosh, thank you so much in advance. What times/days are good for you? And Il’l def check out your video library! But oh man can there be Garak or Bashir or Star Trek as the subject matter? And as for topic … honestly, anyything to do with coloring, you know? Like, how do you paint it and not have colors bleed into one another? How do you do backgrounds? Just general stuff, stuff like that. 

man, thank you again, this is such a nice thing for you to do.

Pretty much any time Saturday and Sunday! I do pretty much nothing but paint on the weekends anyhow. I’m on eastern time in the US, that would probably be helpful to know. I can also do this after like, 6:30pm Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. (This is not so this coming week because I’m at Gallifrey from Thursday to Monday, but it’s true for a normal week.)

Haha, we can try to make this a Garak time. He’s a weird demonstration in'using the same fucking color for everything’, but we can probably roll with that.

And you’re welcome! It’s kind of something I really like doing, so I’m happy for the opportunity!

This reminds me of how I used to make ‘clean’ versions of my own raunchy fics, back in the day, and stopped because a few people said they thought it was really odd and that nobody does that. :/ I should have stood up for myself.

OH, but that’s such a nice idea??   I also kind of like the idea of people putting the explicit porn part in another whole chapter, no matter its length, and then continuing the action in the following chapter.  I know no one will ever do this, but man, the things I could have more fully enjoyed if people had tried to do what you tried to!  

I think it’s a lovely idea. You should bring it back~

The pizza metaphor is really great. I wanna respond to this in more detail but it’s late and I don’t have enough space here. Mebbe later?~


It’s all good, I don’t mind!  People can reblog the thing if they want more space to write and don’t want to send me an ask too, that’s totally rad.   I’m glad you liked the pizza thing, that struck me with such Clarity the other day and I was just so ‘YES.’
