New Recruit

After an unfortunate run-in with a client, Wisteria finds themselves with a curse. Luckily, Black Cauldron is here to help.

Pinprick and Bianca had been the closest to the disturbance. Patrolling had its perks, one of them being that you never knew when you might conveniently stumble upon magical mayhem.

Well, they didn’t stumble upon it so much as they heard a pained screech split through the air as they walked along. Rushing towards the source, they rounded a corner and into an alley-

Someone in a pointed hat stood with their back to the Cadets, holding a second person up by their throat. Magic crackled in the air like static.

A witch.

“HEY!” Bianca yelled. Pinprick rushed past her, talons outstretched.

The witch barely sidestepped his swipe in time, their hat getting nicked in the process. Scrambling onto their broom, they rose up into the air and took off above the buildings.

“Pin, go after ‘em! I’ll take care of the kid.”

Despite being a giant, Pinprick was very fast. He gave a single nod and leapt up onto a nearby house, hopping from rooftop to rooftop in pursuit.

The civilian was laying in a heap on the ground, unmoving.

Bianca swore under her breath as she skidded to a halt next to them, grabbing their shoulder and rolling them over. Whatever had happened with the witch, it seemed like they'd put up a fight, smeared blood drying on the corners of their mouth.

“Damn kid...I’m sorry…” Bianca muttered as she noticed the streams of multicolor flowing in rivulets from their closed eyes. It coated their hands as well; it was no doubt caused by a curse. At least they were breathing. Bianca considered calling for backup before Pinprick leapt down in front of her.

He wore a frustrated scowl. “The witch got away. They were too far ahead.”

Bianca sighed in resignation. “Dammit. Well, let’s at least count it as a win that they didn’t kill this kid here. Look at ‘er eyes though, I think they got cursed. We gotta- hff- get ‘em to Tracy- Geezus they’re a deadweight-” she sunk under their weight as she tried to hoist them up, an arm around their shoulders.

“Here, let me-” Pinprick gently scooped them into his arms. Their head sagged against his chest and they didn’t stir beyond a small mumble that was barely audible. “Poor thing…” he murmured, cradling them carefully against himself.

“Let’s get 'em back to BC and see what the damage is. Hopefully nothin’ too bad.”

---

A myriad of voices reached her ears, but she couldn’t really understand what anyone was saying through her exhaustion. She wanted to go back to sleep.

Consciousness came slow, discouraged by soft, warm blankets. Yet they couldn’t shake the feeling that something horrible had happened…She scrunched her face up. It felt like...there was something...

“Oh shit, they moved!”

“She’s waking up!”

“Oooooh do you think she’ll wanna become a Cadet?”

“Whaddaya think happened?”

“Ok everyone, that’s enough, off you go! There will be plenty of time for meet and greet later!”

Coherent thought was returning in a steady stream, and it was now that she realized there were bandages around her eyes. Bandages? Is that why her eyelids felt so hot and swollen…? Or was it because her eyes felt hot and swollen that she had bandages…? Did something happen to them?

She sat up rather abruptly, hearing a squeal of surprise in response to her quick movement. Her eyes...were really itchy. They itched, but they stung more, like a dull ache. Like someone had blown pepper flakes into her eyes…they automatically watered in response to the thought.

Her head throbbed. Ugh...it felt like something was hammering the inside of her skull...She pressed a hand to her temple in protest of the sudden headache.

“Welcome back, dear. You gave us a bit of a scare, being out for so long.”

She jumped at the voice and heard a soft chuckle.

“No need to be jumpy, now. You’re at Black Cauldron. My name is Tracy Pan, I’m a nurse here.”

“Black Cauldron…” she echoed. “You mean the guild for cursed people…?”

“The very same. One of our teams found you in an alley. It looked like you had been attacked. Does that seem familiar at all?”

It did. She nodded, her mouth suddenly becoming dry. If she was here, at Black Cauldron, did that mean…?

“I’ll get straight to the matter at hand. When our Cadets found you, you seemed to have color streaming from your eyes. When you got here, your eyelids were pretty irritated and swollen, hence the bandages as a precaution. It’s very possible you’ve been cursed.”

Wisty was silent as the nurse methodically unwound the gauze and peeled the medical tape off the pads over her eyes.

“I...don’t really remember a lot about what happened. They were a client of mine, they were angry about...something about the art I made for them? We got into a fight and...they shot some sort of spell at me.”

“Hm hm! And what’s your name?”

She could barely squeeze it out of her rapidly tightening throat as dread coiled in her gut . “...W-Wisteria. Wisteria Inkwell. Or...Wisty...”

“Pleasure to meet you, Wisty. I’m going to remove your bandages. When they’re off, make sure to open your eyes slowly. If you are cursed, there’s a high likelihood that it affected your eyes.”

Please don’t let it be what she thought it was.

Please let that have been from shock. Please...

“Alright, you can open your eyes now.”

Slowly, reluctantly, she opened them.

Everything was grey. Greys and whites and blacks, like she was looking at an old photograph. Monochrome. The color was gone. Wisty’s heart had started to pound so hard she could feel each thump in her chest. The dread uncoiled and shot through her veins, bringing with it a wave of cold.

Hot. Cold. Hot. Cold. Hot--

No. No. No. No way. This couldn’t be happening.

She would not cry, not in front of other people, let alone a stranger. Emotions she couldn’t place were whirling about inside her so fast. But her face was blank as she willed the tears back. She felt very dizzy.

“Hm hm!” A small plump woman popped into her view, a troll? She leaned in close, examining her eyes. “It would seem it is indeed a curse on your eyesight. Or is it perhaps a different version of soul loss…? Your eyes are voided out like another one of our Cadets, but his are white, yours are black. What do you see?”

Wisty fought off tears. “There’s no color. I can’t see color, I--they-- they took color from me...they--”

“Interesting, interesting…and how else do you feel?” Tracy continued.

The room was spinning.

“I...uh…kin...kinda...dizzy...” Wisty mumbled. “I think ‘m gonna b’ sick…”

“Hmm, you might be in shock. How about we… …”

The rest of the nurse’s words were lost to the static roar that started in Wisty’s ears. Everything sounded very far away all of a sudden, she herself felt like she was floating. She could see things, hear things, but she couldn’t make sense of any of it. She tried to breathe in steadily, but her chest was burning. That wasn’t supposed to happen. She felt herself falling freely through space.

Where was the color?

---

It was quiet when Wisty came to again. Jeez...what happened? Had they fainted?

They opened their eyes, slowly.

It was no less gut-wrenching the second time.

The world was still in grayscale, and the sickening feeling swelled inside them all over again. They looked around and listened, eyes already brimming with tears. They were alone. Good.

They buried their face into their knees and sobbed. They sobbed until they felt like they were going to be sick. Their throat was tight and their head pounded, they cried until they had no tears left. The colorful world they’d loved so much was gone. And it wasn’t going to come back. Small wails mixed in with their sobs, thankfully muffled by the blankets.

Finally, they calmed themself down with a series of long sighs that shook their frame. They wiped their eyes and looked around, sniffling. Urgh, now they’d given themself a nasty headache and they couldn’t breathe through their nose. They slipped out of bed to find the bathroom. They could use some cold water on their face.

Wisty approached the door and went to open it, only to have it swing forward on its own, causing them to yelp in response.

“Oh! I’m sorry, I didn’t--excuse me--”

The pair of legs in the doorway bent down, and an incredibly tall ghoul ducked through the threshold.

“Ahem.” He straightened himself up to his full height, easily over nine feet. “Apologies cupcake, I didn’t see you there. Actually, should you even be out of bed? You haven’t been taking your curse very well.”

Wisty squirmed and hastily wiped at her eyes. “I, um, I actually feel fine now. I just wanted some water.”

He leaned down, putting his face too close to hers, and gently pressed a long pointed finger onto her cheek. She resisted the urge to shrink away. What if he noticed--

“Now, why the waterfalls?”

Crap.

“I. Um.”

The ghoul studied her expression and grinned widely with a chuckle, showing a mouth full of sharp teeth. Wisty averted her gaze. What colors was he? Frustrated tears bubbled up again. The ghoul cocked his head and continued to grin. Then his eyebrows hopped up and his smile dropped in surprise.

“Oh my. That doesn’t look normal.”

“H-Huh?” Wisty wiped at her eyes and was startled to smell...what was that? Ink? She pulled her hand away.

Some sort of dark substance was smeared across the back of her hand. She looked at it. Looked up at the ghoul. Back to the ink. Then the ghoul. He stared back with a surprisingly calm expression.

“Side effect of your curse, perhaps?” he suggested.

Fighting back the urge to just up and scream, Wisty replied, “Uuuhhhhh maybe? Hope this isn’t a permanent thing-”

“Yo Pin, quit hoggin’ the doorframe!”

A girl with long gelatinous-looking hair squeezed past the ghoul, her eyebrows also hopping up when she saw Wisty.

Oh, you’re awake! ‘S about time too, you were startin’ to freak us all out! Especially after you fainted right outta the bed.”

She stuck her hand out, and Wisty took it in her own. The girl’s hand was very warm.

“I’m Bianca Frost, and this is my partner Pinprick! We make up Team B of Black Cauldron. We found you in an alley.”

“Oh--oh my god, you guys saved me? Thank you!!”

Bianca shrugged and rubbed the back of her head, looking away.

“Eh, it was nothin’. I’m just sorry we didn’t find you sooner. Uh, how are ya feelin’ now? You know your eyes are...uh, leaking, right?”

“Y-Yeah, dunno what’s up with that. I’m...better. It’s still kinda a big shock,” Wisty rubbed at her eyes again. “Do you have a bathroom in here? I wanted to get some water and clean my face.”

At her insistence that she felt fine enough to do it herself, Bianca pointed Wisty in the direction of the restrooms. They were easy to find, tucked around the corner from a bar area. There were several people sitting at tables, and they all swiveled their heads to stare at her as she walked by. With a weird flip in her stomach, Wisty hurriedly shut the door behind her as whispers began.

Purposefully avoiding the mirror, they splashed their face with water, sighing as it soothed their itchy, swollen eyes. Wisty braced themselves, head hanging with one hand on either side of the sink. They stared down at the wisps of ink mixing with the water as it all swirled down the drain. They could deal with this. It would be fine. They’d be fine. They’d find a way to keep making art, this was fine. They cupped their hands under the stream and took several thirsty gulps. This was manageable. People got cursed all the time. (As unfortunate as that was.)

Wisty sighed again. They wondered if the curse affected how their eyes looked. Steeling themself, they looked in the mirror. Their eyes were completely black, no visible iris or sclera to be seen.

“Whoooooooaaaa,” They couldn’t help the exclamation as they leaned in closer, staring at their reflection with wide eyes. “Haha, what the hell…?”

They pulled their eyelid down and rolled their eyeball around, looking this way and that; the whole thing was as solid and black as an 8 ball and reflected no light. Kinda like that pigment of black they used once-

A thought struck them- what would people think if they saw their eyes? Would they avoid her? Would people commission art from a cursed person who couldn’t even see the colors she was using? Cursed people in Salem were viewed with pity, and sometimes worse, outright scorn for being damaged goods. Would they have to wear sunglasses or something? What if--

There was a knock on the door.

Pin’s -that was his name right?- voice sounded on the other side, muffled, “Hey cupcake, are you almost done in there? John wants to talk to you.”

John? Who’s that…? Wisty opened the door. Two people dressed in Ironmaiden uniforms were waiting to greet her. One was a tall, imposing-looking woman with her greying hair neatly twisted into a bun. She looked severe, but her eyes looked at Wisty gently. Next to her was an equally-tall oxen hybrid, standing with his arms crossed. He looked at Wisty just as kindly, despite his intimidating appearance. She fiddled with the hem of her dress, clenching it in her hands.

“You’re Wisteria Inkwell, correct?” the woman asked. Wisty nodded.

“My name is Elanor Pan, founder of Black Cauldron. This here is John Bullock, chief of the Iron Maidens.”

“We wanted to ask you a few questions. Don’t worry, you’re not in trouble,” John said, noting Wisty’s sudden nervous expression. “We wanted to ask you about the witch that cursed you. It’s our understanding they got away after attacking you.”

“Oh, no! I don’t mind at all…” Wisty replied, feeling relief wash over her.

“Good. Now, if you’ll come this way…” John ushered Wisty into another room. Before the door closed, she looked back at the entourage that was still gathered. They all stared at her.

Wisty rubbed at her eyes.

---

She ambled back out the door a good while later, now rubbing at her temple. John and Ela had peppered her with questions about her assailant until her head was spinning. They certainly were thorough. She’d drawn them a picture of the witch that had cursed her, which ate up even more time as she tried to recall as many details about them as possible. Then...more questioning. A drop of whatever-the-heck was dripping out of her eyes nearly ruined the whole damn drawing.

Wisty wasn’t quite sure what she wanted to have happen. Did she want the witch to be arrested? Did she want revenge? Out of all the things she was feeling, anger wasn’t very high on the list at the moment. Both John and Ela had assured her the drawing she made, as well as the details she provided, would be put on the wanted board in Black Cauldron.

On that topic… Ela had said…

The people still in the bar area chose that moment to pounce, all but swarming around her.

“Hey! Did Ela talk to you about becoming a Cadet?”

“What kind of curse do you have?”

“Want some soda?”

They were all talking over each other so loudly Wisty could hardly piece together what any one person said. She was luckily saved by Elanor, who swept out of the room behind her.

“Really now! I’d said there’d be time for introductions later, but this poor child has had a very long day and she certainly doesn’t need to be bombarded by you all at once. I know you’re all excited about the prospect of a new Cadet, but please, be considerate. Don’t scare them off just yet!” she said, a good-humored smile curving her mouth. She placed a hand on Wisty’s shoulder and looked down at her, still smiling. “Think about my offer, won’t you? I think you’d be a valuable member here.”

“I’ll think about it, for sure,” Wisty said.

Ela nodded. “Good. In the meantime, would you like to stay here awhile until you’re feeling better? Maybe get yourself acquainted with some of our Cadets here.”

“I’m- Thank you very much Mrs. Elanor-” Wisty managed to squeak out as Bianca grabbed her wrist and began to pull her away.

“Just Ela is fine, dear!”

Bianca ushered a bewildered Wisty into a seat, and the remaining chairs at the table were very quickly filled in. A stout girl with hair that curled at the ends trotted up to the crowd, notepad in hand.

“Hi! I’m Cameilla, a waitress here. Can I get you anything to drink?” she chirped, smiling wide.

“I’d looooove a soda-” a boy at the table started. “She was talking to the new kid, not you,” someone else retorted.

“Well...if it’s not too much trouble, I’m literally dying for a lemonade right now,” Wisty said.

Cameilla smiled and hopped away towards the kitchen. “Cameilla is the youngest Cadet,” Bianca said. “She’s not keen on the whole fighting thing, so she works as a waitress here instead!”

She returned a very short time later with Wisty’s lemonade, and the questions began.

The first to speak was Pinprick. “So, my dear, care to share with the rest of the class? Why don’t we get those introductions out of the way.”

“Oh! I’m Wisteria. Just Wisty is fine.”

Everyone looked at her expectantly. One of the Cadets tapped near their eyes and pointed at her.

“Oh right, my curse. Well...I can’t see color anymore,” Wisty found it was easier to talk about than she had anticipated. “I can still see and all, but it’s like--you know black and white photographs? It’s like that. I can still see value, but all the hue and saturation is gone.”

There was a wave of nods and aaaaaah’s that quickly turned into a collective scream as a thick, viscous liquid trickled down Wisty’s cheeks.

“Holy shit your eyes are melting!!”

“No no no no they’re not! They’ve been doing this ever since I woke up. I’m...really hoping this isn’t a thing my eyes just do now…”

Bianca slid a napkin dispenser her way and Wisty grabbed several, hurriedly rubbing at her face, grumbling in frustration.

“I swear, if this is just a thing for me now I’m gonna go feral,” she muttered.

“Being colorblind looks pretty metal,” a boy with glowing white eyes said, blowing a cloud of smoke out through his teeth. A cigarette was clenched between them.

Wisty wrinkled her nose and tried not to gag into the napkin. She hated the smell of cigarette smoke. The Cadet sitting next to the boy must have noticed, because he deftly yoinked it out of his comrade’s mouth.

“Yo Harvey, what the hell man?!” the boy squawked as the person in a bunny mask crumpled the cigarette in his hand.

“If you paid any attention to her face, you’d have seen your smokestack was making her sick, dumbass.” He turned to Wisty and stuck out his non-ash covered hand, which Wisty took and shook. “I’m Harvey. I make weapons for Cadets here. This idiot next to me is Dex.”

Dex gave a short wave, grinning widely. “Yep, that’s me! Dex, the resident heartthrob.”

Wisty blinked. “Oh, I’ve seen you before! You nearly ran me over with your bike once.”

Everyone present swiveled their heads to stare at Dex. He blinked.

“I’m sorry about him. He tragically lost all his brain cells years ago.“

“...I did?”

“Oh my god Dex that is NOT what you say to someone you nearly flattened with your dumb bike!”

“Hey! DeeDee is NOT dumb! She--ow ow ow ow!” his words cut off with a squeal as Harvey sitting next to him grabbed him in a headlock.

“I’m sorry about him. He tragically lost all his brain cells years ago.“

Wisty couldn’t help but giggle. “Um, have you all been here long?”

“Some of us have, yeah,” Harvey said. He released his hold on Dex, who sucked in air theatrically.

“Caldwell, the guy workin’ behind you? He helped form BC with Ela. They go way back,” Pinprick said. “Then we all joined one by one! There’s many more of us who aren’t here right now, but it’d be lovely if you met them, cupcake. We’re definitely a rag-tag bunch with a myriad of curses to match.”

Bianca tossed her hair, grinning in a way that seemed very much prideful. “A witch set me on fire and I turned into a lava elemental! Best thing that ever happened to me!”

“I mean, it’s fairly obvious for me,” Pinprick added, grinning equally widely. “Black Cauldron’s resident ghoul.”

Harvey was silent until Dex leaned on him hard enough to nearly push him off his chair.

“Oh god fine!” he relented, placing a hand on Dex’s face and shoving him away. “I was dared by some buddies of mine to put this mask on and it never came off,” he said. “Happy now?” he added to Dex, who was watching him with his chin in his hands, smiling mischievously.

“How do you eat then?!” Wisty balked.

“With a straw, duh.”

“What about you, Dex? Wh-”

“Sooooo!” Dex cut in. “Are you thinking about becoming a Cadet?”

“I mean, Ela did make the offer to me. But I dunno how much of a help I’d be to be honest. Fighting sounds interesting, buuuuut all I’m really good at is making art.”

“We can help teach you, if you join. And Harvey can make you a weapon!” Dex said. “And if ya want, maybe you could team up with someone, like Alphus over there, or—”

“I work alone, Dex boy,” the woman leaning on the wall nearby said.

Wisty shrunk in her seat.

“Oh, don’t mind her cupcake, she can be a little standoffish towards everyone at first,” Pinprick said, placing a reassuring hand on Wisty’s shoulder, nearly knocking her off her chair. “Honestly Alphus, be nice!”

Alphus shrugged. “Hey, never said I was against backup if I’d ever need it, which I won’t. Just so long as no one gets in my way.”

“So what was this about you being an artist?” Harvey inquired.

“Oh yeah! I mostly do commission work and run my studio outta my apartment. You might’ve seen some of my stuff if you visit the underground city.”

“Oooooh, can you show us some of your work?”

“Can you draw something right now?”

---

It ended up being pretty late when Wisty finally set off back home. A slight breeze wafted through the city streets, and they initially felt oddly at ease, despite everything that had happened. But as they walked along, gazing at familiar sights, a pit opened up in the bottom of their stomach. How were they going to deal with this? What would they tell their friends? Their family? The streetlamps that once felt so warm seemed frigid now, a dull grey. Values were mixing together and hard to tell apart. Wisty impatiently flicked away yet another trickle of black from their right eye.

Black Cauldron…

They’d heard of them for a long time, but they never imagined they might end up joining one day. And even now, they were still unsure. Everyone they had met were very friendly, maybe it wasn’t such a bad idea to become a Cadet. Maybe they could make recruitment posters or something. Or something. The last thing they wanted to be was a hindrance to anyone.

A single day at a time.

“Ugh!” Wisty shouted aloud, throwing their fists in the air.

They had time to think it over, even Ela had said so! There was no rush.

They’d take it one day at a time.

Just one of my personal petty nuisances in photography is when the perspective contour in a photo is uneven. In some cases when we are actually caught up in the minute, this simple guideline is forgotten yet the excellent news is such enhancing your images with the photo editor to make them level is also very basic. Leveling the video camera on the corner of the pier implied that the picture was uneven that is specifically noticeable to the eye if the photo has actually a plainly defined horizon line, just like the sea. This leveling item becomes part of the crop device, and also you may just spin the image to suit. As soon as you choose the focusing method, a grid can appear to help you acquire the placement appropriate. Pointing an image is a really simple task that will get simply a number of seconds, leading to a far more aesthetically charming photograph. Sometimes if we take a photograph, parts of the image can finish up being actually darker than we desire. I describe the dark areas of the shot as darkness, and the intense parts of the photo as highlights. Comparison is regarding accentuating the contrast in between the brightness and also darker sections of the picture. Boosting the variance of a photo can significantly boost the visual effect that has, by creating the boundaries between these light as well as dark sections clearer. Color or texture change is one more crucial item of the best photo editor for Windows 10. You can easily readjust picture color or texture in every type of ways, starting with changing the total heat of the picture like just how blue and green it appears, to separately changing the tone and interpenetration of details color schemes contents of a picture. We simply desire to cover a few really helpful color scheme modifications anyone may use to help to make your photography simply just a bit much more visually powerful. The fastest technique to adjust the color related to a photo is definitely using the hue technique of the photo editor. This alters the appearance related to each coloring in a photo to generate it much more as well as much less condensed. Similar to many changes, the key is definitely to get an excellent balance also much saturating the photos often tends to look instead not naturally made. Hue pictures may be actually extremely effective, as well as naturally dark and light is an exceptional decision for all kind of scenarios, in certain, architecture, as well as various landscape images.

Once in a while there may be a thing in an image that you truly do definitely not intend to exist, such as a disturbing white spot on someone's nose. That is very simple to clear away in every the leading photo editor. It is really very simple to erase any kind of items directly out of a picture however the photo editor performs best on distinctive, little things that are probably closed in by uniform colors. This is since the heal tool has to change the area you desire to remove with something else, and also this functions best when it has an area nearby that looks similar. So for instance, a red spot on a face is surrounded by a lot of similarly colored skin, so the heal https://p2jwyfs679.doodlekit.com/blog/entry/6365154/best-photo-editor-to-rotate-a-picture tool can conveniently determine what to replace the bright spot based on the bordering area. This specific is simply because the best photo editor for Windows 10 has to replace the location you will to take out with another thing, and also that works perfect whenever it gets a spot near that looks comparable. Best photo editor for Windows 10 has ended up being truly complex and powerful and it is actually possible to adjust pictures and so they change into totally different out of the original. There certainly are dozens of photo editor and also wide varieties of means of attaining the very same or similar outcomes. The purpose very most when it comes to a lot of photographs I publish procedure is normally to produce all of them look as all-natural as feasible. I strongly believe this is a really good spot to begin, even when you intend to go on and develop even more unique looking photos. Coloration range within a photo shot is just one of the most important worries. The human eyes have the ability to normally see a wider series of shade than the cam can record. The definition of photo editing is the process of altering a photograph, basically put. Still that is oversimplifying a problem which is more or less complex. You can generally implement basic photo modifying methods such as sharpen photo relatively easily as well as rapidly but complicated methods and also electronic editing might require photo editor and also even more know-how. Best photo editor for Windows 10 is a tool which anyone can easily use to adjust and enhance pictures.

My interest in art started as a North Carolina kid fascinated with comic books. I spent much of my early teens trying unsuccessfully to emulate the comic artists of the day. But, I wasn’t one of those kids who was drawing and painting from the day I could hold a pencil. I really wasn’t interested at all until I was about 11 or 12.

Eventually, I took art classes in high school and considered art as one option for college and career. Of course, I chose something completely different because who does things the easy way? Within a few years though, even that career path – that of a newspaper writer and photographer – brought me back to art in the early days of computer graphics and desktop publishing.

While I don’t do as much with graphics as I used to, it is still a part of my day job. Earlier this year, I created all the posters for the 2017-18 season for a local little theatre in a combination of traditional and digital techniques.

During those first few years in newspaper, and later in the printing industry, I didn’t completely lose interest in traditional art. But it was more of a way to kill time than anything serious. Around 2004, I decided to get serious again and began exploring acrylics for a while. I found I preferred to use acrylics more like watercolors than oils and realized I was drawn more to the watercolors of other artists rather than other media. So, I tested the waters, so to speak, and haven’t looked back.

I’ve loved cars since I bought my first one in the 1980’s. My fascination with them from an artistic standpoint – mostly the rolling sculpture of Detroit’s golden age in the 1950’s – started with the success of my first car painting in acrylics. Of course, shiny sheet metal, chrome reflections and rough rust are a very different story in watercolor. But once I figured out various techniques to get those textures right, I found it to be a lot of fun, especially rust.

So, I’ve got a lot of car paintings floating around. But, I see too many artists who seem to be one-trick ponies; they only ever paint one subject. Sure, they usually do that one subject very, very well. And, I understand they paint what they get paid to paint. But, I can’t imagine they don’t get bored.

I certainly get bored looking at the same thing over and over on their websites. Instead of falling into that trap, I’ve tried to explore other subjects – landscapes, figures, portraits, and still lifes. I’ve been especially successful with musical instruments, shoes, figures, and horror-related subjects. The last few years I’ve been concentrating on landscapes and portraits.

I’m also trying to get away from photographic realism by studying the recent British Impressionist watercolorists, my favorite being John Yardley. It’s too easy to get bogged down in details that don’t tell the story of the painting in question. And, I see too many paintings in which everything in the image is razor sharp and finely detailed.

Having spent some time as a professional photographer, I’m well aware of the ability of a well-crafted photo to direct the eye with depth of field, leaving unimportant portions of the image out of focus. I’m trying to bring that capability and technique to my paintings, especially my landscapes. It’s part of a technique I’ve taken to calling loose realism.

That’s really just another way of describing what most people are talking about then they use the word “painterly.” In loose realism even main subjects need not be photographic to be convincing. Backgrounds and foregrounds can be loose, wet, and indistinct. One method I use for achieving this, and for forcing myself to see a reference photo more simply, is to use Photoshop or other programs to modify the photo, defocus some areas, obscure details, and often brighten colors.

One of the things that has always fascinated me about watercolor is how the simplest images often can be the most effective. That doesn’t necessarily mean they were simple to create, though some are. It just shows that complexity, unerring detail, and edge-to-edge focus aren’t a requirement for a pleasing and effective painting.

The biggest problem with loosening up is that most people, at least in my area, are more interested in photo-realism, especially when looking for car paintings and commissions. So, I’m walking a tight rope between the looser paintings I want to do and the photo-realism the public wants, i.e. sometimes I too paint what I get paid to paint.

Technically, I’m pretty straight-forward these days. In the past though, I’ve used a couple different, somewhat unusual techniques.

An example of Payne’s Gray underpainting

Early on I used a grisaille-type underpainting that I learned while using acrylics. I don’t see many people using or even talking about this technique with watercolors, but I found it quite effective. To do this I painted what most people would consider a value study with a very thin, watered-down Payne’s Gray. Once I had a good grayscale painting done, I added transparent color washes.

Since Payne’s Gray is a staining color and I kept it very thin, it didn’t lift when I added the later washes. If the underpainting was too heavy, though, it could have lifted and altered successive washes and made a real mess. I suppose any staining color can be used for the underpainting. But, a thin Payne’s Gray is nearly neutral, so the transparent colors laid on top are only affected in value, not color or hue. By the time I completed the painting, only I knew there was an underpainting layer.

An example of charcoal and watercolor

Another technique I had a lot of success with – and also learned while using acrylics – is using charcoal as an “underpainting.” This technique starts by doing a complete, finished charcoal drawing of at least the main subject if not the entire image. I spray one thin coat of workable fixative over the charcoal drawing. It might sound counter-intuitive at first. But, without the fixative, you’d have a mess when you started adding watercolor washes.

Anyway, after I let the fixative gas out at least a couple hours, I painted with watercolor as normal. I had to lay it on a little more heavily. But, with practice and patience, watercolor will soak through the fixative and adhere to the paper.

I haven’t used either of these techniques for a few years. These days I’m just using good old Da Vinci paints (mostly) in a fairly limited palette of ultramarine blue, cobalt blue, phthalo blue, permanent rose quinacridone, a warm and cool red, a warm yellow, yellow ochre, raw umber, burnt Sienna, sepia, sometimes manganese blue, and neutral tint or Payne’s gray. No, I don’t use a cool yellow because over time I found I just didn’t use it. My color mixes just never went that direction. So, now I just don’t bother.

Arches and Canson’s Moulin du Roi 140 lb. in cold-pressed and rough are my favorite papers. In the brush department, I’ve used everything from natural sables and squirrels and faux sables and squirrels to natural/synthetic blends and full synthetics. But, right now I’m really digging the super-cheap Snap! synthetics from Princeton. I’ve always liked a good amount of stiffness and spring. Snaps definitely cover that while also holding a lot of water/pigment.

Over the years, I’ve found that if I really wanted to get better, painting had to become an obsession. When I’m not painting I’m thinking about painting. The best advice I can give to someone just beginning with watercolor or any medium, or just wanting to get better, is to paint. Paint often. Paint every day. Paint something, anything, even if it’s just color swatches. The more you have a brush in your hand the more natural it will feel.

An example of a 5”x7” portrait painted during lunch hour at work

Actually, now that I think about it, color swatches are a great idea. Not only will they help with brush control and water control, you’ll also learn how each color looks and feels with varying amounts of water. I keep one of Da Vinci’s full-pan paint boxes at work and spend a few minutes before work and at lunch every day painting small 5��x7” and 8”x10” figures, portraits and landscapes. It’s great practice; it’s relaxing; and I’ve actually sold several of these paintings.

They aren’t always quick; most take two or three days to complete. But, many of them are good finished paintings, not just sketches.

That also brings up another great aspect of watercolor; you can set up and clean up in a couple minutes making it easy to paint on a moment’s notice. As for me, some days those few minutes at lunch might be the only chance I have to get a brush wet – and that makes all the difference.

How Amazon could relax Google's iron hold on Android Amazon's as of late propelled Android application store could move the balance.

The Amazon Appstore for Android propelled a week ago. In spite of the fact that the online retail monster's new programming customer facing facade still has some unpleasant edges, it could in the long run have noteworthy repercussions for the whole Android biological community. In the event that Amazon's Appstore turns out to be a practical other option to Google's own Android Market, it could debilitate the pursuit mammoth's control over the Android stage and move the adjust of energy toward a path that favors equipment creators—opening the entryway for forks and more profound separation.

This could end up being particularly noteworthy right now, since Google's choice to withhold the Android 3.0 source code for years to come has made a requirement for Android equipment merchants to seek after more self-sufficiency and protect themselves from Google's inexorably tyrannical control over the working framework.

Albeit the greater part of the cell phone rendition of the Android working framework is conveyed under an open source permit, there are a few exclusive bits of the center application stack that are controlled exclusively by Google. This gathering of shut source programming segments incorporates the Android Market and different Google-marked applications like Gmail that coordinate with the organization's Web administrations.

Google's selective control of the Android Market gives the organization an enormous measure of use over how Android is utilized. Equipment creators that need to send the Android Market on a gadget need to financially permit it from Google and meet certain necessities that are stipulated as a feature of the permitting assention.

For instance, gadgets can just ship with the Android Market in the event that they satisfy the criteria characterized in the Android Compatibility Specification. Google's strategy of binds Android Market circulation to conformance with the Compatibility Specification restrains the degree to which equipment producers can alter the working framework. This clearly is inconvenient for equipment merchants that need to do profound separation, however it has been advantageous as a methods for shielding the Android stage from fracture by ordering a pattern level of interoperability.

On the off chance that an equipment seller needs to fork Android and stray essentially from the standard client encounter, it loses the capacity to transport the Android Market—and thus loses access to the developing collection of outsider Android applications that are just accessible through that appropriation channel. Keeping in mind the end goal to totally remove Google of the Android condition, an equipment merchant would need to build up its own particular application conveyance framework and figure out how to draw in designers to its Android variation.

Up until now, the most conspicuous case of an Android fork with an autonomous application biological system is OPhone, an Android subsidiary that is created by Chinese versatile transporters. As we clarified a year ago when we initially examined OPhone, the stage has its own one of a kind application store and totally shuns any sort of Google tie-in. There has been a ton of hypothesis about whether any US organizations would make comparable strides with a specific end goal to free Android from Google.

Amazon's new Appstore is the principal genuinely solid contrasting option to the Android Market. On the off chance that Amazon will permit it to equipment creators, it could make an open door for some real players in the Android biological system to go separate ways with Google and do their own particular thing. That would hugy affect how the stage advances. We would likely observe significantly greater differences amongst gadgets and a radical new extent of stage customizations.

Equipment sellers that are baffled with the confinements on Honeycomb accessibility or Google's tormenting can just fork Android 2.3 and create their own altogether custom client encounter. They can bear to negligence the majority of Google's necessities since they would in any case have an other application store to transport rather than Google's Android Market.

It's altogether conceivable that a portion of the sellers will have the capacity to convey a superior client encounter than Honeycomb itself with custom adjustments of Android 2.0 once they are no longer hamstrung by Google's stipulations.

Obviously, equipment merchants would at present need to ensure that they don't soften APIs or wander up ways that would undermine application similarity. The product in Amazon's store is still fundamentally a similar programming that is appropriated through the Android Market today. In that sense, it's not exactly as helpful for uniqueness as making new application biological communities sans preparation.

What's the endgame for Amazon?

It appears to be practically unavoidable that Amazon will in the long run dispatch its own particular Android tablet. In a current article, Business Insider concisely explained a portion of the reasons why the tablet business would be a solid match for Amazon.

As they bring up, Amazon as of now has for all intents and purposes the greater part of the bits of the confound—the organization has a considerable measure of vision, a solid brand, a tremendous library of substance that it can pitch to tablet proprietors, a current a dependable balance in the shopper gadgets showcase, bunches of perceivability, and a retail channel through which it can straightforwardly pitch a tablet item to purchasers. Some of Amazon's most recent offerings, for example, its new Cloud Drive and Cloud Player administrations—even put the organization a stage in front of Google and Apple in a few regards.

There is additionally another basically essential piece that is becoming alright: request. I as of late composed an instructional exercise depicting how to hack the Nook Color digital book peruser with the goal that it can be utilized as a tablet. I composed that piece since I thought it would be a novel (joke expected) approach to acquaint the Ars readership with the modding scene, yet it wound up getting the enthusiasm of a substantially more extensive group of onlookers than I had foreseen.

I was honestly dumbfounded by the huge measure of standard intrigue that developed in light of that Nook Color article. It was even examined unmistakably in a Wall Street Journal section. The unpreventable takeaway call attention to I escaped the experience is that there are a huge amount of individuals out there who will go to outrageous lengths to get a nice minimal effort tablet.

The uncommon thing about this repressed interest for a section level touchscreen gadget is that it was to a great extent made by the buildup encompassing the iPad. The customers who are occupied with hacking the Nook Color didn't know they needed a tablet until iPad-insanity rose. In any case, these individuals don't really need or can't bear the cost of Apple's sparkly doohickey; they simply need the following best thing at a more reasonable value—a good shading touchscreen gadget for expending media, perusing articles, playing Angry Birds, and checking their email.

Give it a chance to be known: whether you fabricate it, they will come. While the standard equipment merchants are stumbling over each other pursuing Apple's taillights in a pointless push to convey a focused top of the line tablet, they are feeling the loss of an immense chance to take care of demand for a section level tablet—an item space where their odds of progress would be much better since they wouldn't need to contend with Apple.

It appears to be genuinely clear that shoppers wouldn't have any desire to pay iPad-like costs for an unremarkable Android-based iPad impersonation—and let's be honest, that is precisely what all the top of the line Honeycomb tablets are now. A gadget that costs half as much as the iPad, in any case, would look speaking to buyers on the off chance that it were fit for satisfying basic portable registering prerequisites and meeting a higher quality standard than Walgreen's-sold trash.

The domain of the $250 value point tablet is recently holding up to be vanquished—its exclusive inhabitant at this moment is an offering from Barnes and Noble that doesn't generally convey unless you hack it. Barnes and Noble is increase to transform the Nook Color into a tablet, yet I think Amazon has the will and the aptitude to construct a phenomenal item in that space. Amazon could absolutely possess it similarly that Apple claims the top of the line tablet advertise.

The Amazon tablet hypothesis has pulled in feedback from a few naysayers who don't surmise that Amazon would agree to building a gadget with tablet-like battery life and crappy open air screen perceivability. You can't call it a Kindle if it's just going to keep going for eight hours, isn't that so? I think the answer for that issue is straightforward: utilize a double mode show like the kind built by Pixel Qi.

The theoretical Amazon tablet could have an "Ignite" mode where the show gives you high-determination daylight discernable grayscale rendering. You could without much of a stretch utilize it as either a tablet or a digital book peruser. It's as yet not going to convey Kindle-length battery life, but rather it would be a really decent trade off. I would need to purchase a $250 Amazon tablet, and (if the eagerness for the Nook Color article implies anything) there is a group of similar perusers who might as well.

Google's messy way to deal with Honeycomb hosts made some vulnerability among third-get-together designers. The absence of Honeycomb source accessibility will ensure that Gingerbread and Honeycomb tablets need to exist together in the commercial center for quite a while. This will demoralize outsider designers from grasping Honeycomb-particular APIs and UI ideal models immediately.

If Amazon somehow managed to swoop in today with a really solid mass-advertise Android tablet and offer its own particular client encounter layer, it may have the capacity to draw in outsider designer bolster in a way that Honeycomb hasn't possessed the capacity to yet. I'm progressively persuaded that Amazon stands a shot of standing its ground against Apple in the tablet showcase if it somehow managed to take the up the test. The key will be conveying a particularly attractive gadget that fits into a different item portion as opposed to squandering exertion in a worthless journey to replicate the supreme iPad.
