| The
secret of making watercolor paintings on canvas is how few hues
you need to create something great. This piece, for instance, was
put together with only three colors. Blending them together depends
on the intensity of the paints and the amount of water on the canvas.
Throw in some liquid paper for accent (also dependant on the water),
and you're set. Lesson over; now go and create your own art. Remember:
this will go down on your Permament Record.
The
b-side features a number of small-scale drawings, much like the
ones found in Ant-Hill Mob. There's
a few references to world events, like China's PNTR status in the
U.S., the false imprisonment of Wen Ho Lee n 2000 (a cakewalk compared
to what's happened after 911), and the "rats" scam pulled
by the Bush campaign which was probably the tamest thing the Bushies
did that year. But it's not like those ads worked, right? Thank
goodness Bush restored honor and integrity to the White House. Before
he and the other Sopranos completely looted and dismantled the Republic,
I mean.
Sigh.
Just another day in the great skatepark of life.
On
the other hand, this painting looks really nice. |
