Color Work
I stretched some watercolor paper today for another painting I am starting. I am definitely going to buy a staple gun because taping wet paper to my drawing board to stretch it so it won't buckle is not working for me!
I was able to sit down for a couple hours and totally got lost in detail work on my "Steemy Snowflake." Hopefully after I spend tomorrow reading and writing I will be able to finish my snowflake before it melts!
Plus I just found out I have a paper to turn in on some course work I am doing called "Bringing the Mind to Rest." I am not ready so I have been cramming! It's Tibetan study of shamatha and vipasyana, I've been waiting so long to learn how the Buddhist Tibetan calm abiding and insight system works. My training is through Satipatthana Burmese teaching of Vipassana and anapanasati. I've been diving into a several books, "Ocean of Definitive Meaning" by Ninth Karmapa and "Mahamudra: The Moonlight," by Dakpo Tashi Namgyal

Amazing... its still has an indigenous dream catcher type of look too it. I always tell people drawing can be a type meditation because you don't feel time passing by.lol

@newyorkdude, we are in some kind of samadhi all day long. You know where you are focused on something and don't notice anything else. In the Buddhist system there is right concentration. The mind is relaxed but narrowly focused without any kind of negativity. I haven't reached that level in my painting. But I can use the discipline I learned in retreat to sit through all the mind and body stuff that goes with intense painting sessions. Painting is like running and both are like meditation in a way...

This is one painting I can't help with.
I can't tell where you are going with the colors, nor where you are going to put highlights/crystal edge shines into it.
I feel I will really like it, but this is one of those rides that I feel blindfolded and don't know the destination. (which is an unusual feeling for me.)
Keep us posted, and I will keep upvoting.

I feel the same way, so lets just sit back and enjoy the ride. I think I got the flow today even with the kids bouncing off my studios walls.

This is all imagination. It is my favorite kind of work, no one to tell me how to do something. A blank sheet of paper and my imagination are true freedom. Thank you @dobartim.

Great work, still completing yet @reddust. Wow are studying Vipassana and anapanasati meditation. I have been done Anapanasati before 15 years now, Bcoz I`m Buddhist. Nice to see you there.

I find focusing on the breath for a meditation object the easiest for me. But lot's of people say the natural breath is the most difficult meditation object because it is too subtle for our coarse modern mind. Now I get to see how visualization, deities, vase breathing all tie into developing a stable mind and insight. I learned Vipassana through SN Goenka's centers, which is kinda like a Vipassana boot camp. It's tough...I completed my first retreat back in 1993. I am a Buddhist as well, a redneck American Buddhist lololol

Wow...I am glad to hear it. Yeah.. breath meditation object will be easiest for everyone.
As my mind, natural breath is the most easiest meditation position. But therefore require best quality place. it mean calm & most silence place for our mind clear.

@allabout, we are going through more beta testing on Steemit's economic system. There is going to be a lot of intense discussions for a while and I find all this intensely interesting. One of the reasons I joined Steemit was to study economic systems in action through cryptocurrency and getting paid to be social....Bernie Sanders always gets all upset and charges around Steemit like a Bull in a china shop...sigh...

lol, lots of ''old school djs'' are crazy now how to charge everything on crypto, especially in usa.. steemit has lots of mystics so am not shure who realy is steemit, or other ponzi shit or paradigm shift? I can smell here''decentralyzed control system'' and my fucking flair saying, what even devs are cheating here.

Stellabella is looking for good writers to call out individuals and groups gaming the system in a professional way if I remember correctly. Take a look at her blog, she may be able to help you focus your research.

The color scheme is simple, blue and white...hahaha. The difficult part is where do I want to put the dark and light blues to make the patterns stand out and exactly how do I want those patterns to stand out. Thank you @eleyda78

There are a few types of watercolor paper with really high thickness that allow to create "on wet" with no fixing:) But most of them should be fixed, of course... Also I noticed that the more I practice - the less I need fixing, may be I just control the amount of water more:)
As always I'm really impressed with your art, with it's detailing, it's so awesome!

My paper is 190lb cotton and I use a lot of wet on wet work. I like 300lb hotpress. But that paper is so expensive, I bought the cheaper kind and have resorted to stretching for most of my simple pictures. Thanks for your support @inber!

Wow! Beautiful steemit crystals or snowflakes. You are impressive in your artistry... And also a deep thinker (study on buddhism and tibetan philosophy is deep).
It would be great to have a go at your depth of knowledge, i am sure there is so much you have to share
