Any mention of WD Gann is usually preceded or followed with 'legendary trader.' I suppose that's appropriate because no other stock or commodities trader, R.N.

On one of my beauty excursions to Ulta a few months ago, I purchased the Sue Devitt Eye Intensifier Pencil in Zaire. It is actually one of the first makeup products I have tried by this cosmetic line and it certainly won't be my last.The color ZAIRE is best described as a plum purple color with a hint of shimmer. It's actually quite hard to detect any shimmer at all but there is a small amount.

I am always fascinated by pencil drawing and sketches. From the very young age I have passion for drawing and still now when I am a teacher, I love to teach simple and easy tips/techniques to my nursery class students. I enjoy the creativity and versatality of my student's art/drawings. From the web, you can find many resources or sites, which can teach you FREE lessons, tips about drawing. Toad Hollow Studio is run by by Carol Rosinski, who is an artist and basically teaches pencil drawings. She is author of "Drawing Made Easy", but at her site and blog, she is offering a lot of free stuff for drawing learners.The name of the site is very attractive and Carol says: "Since my artwork is inspired by the life I see around me everyday, I named my art studio "Toad Hollow Studio."

Attention computer animators -- if you've ever felt limited by working in three dimensions with tools like Blender, check out Pencil, an open source, cross-platform animation app that lets you create in glorious 2-D. Pencil mimics hand-drawn animation techniques, but it's easy to use and produces high-quality output. You can download source code packages as well as pre-built binaries for Ubuntu, Arch Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X. The latest release is 0.4.4b for Macs and Windows boxes, and 0.4.3b for Linux. The differences between the two versions are minor, but include a change to the file format, so if you run Pencil on multiple platforms, you may want to stick with 0.4.3b until the Linux build is updated.

To our friends at Treehugger, please look away as we report that the Census Bureau is ditching plans to go digital and will return to its sinful pencil-pushing, paper-crazy roots. Originally, the Bureau planned for workers to use 500,000 wireless handheld devices from Harris Corp. as a replacement for the paperwork used to collect information from Americans who do not respond to the census. The $1.3 billion program looked great on, well, paper, but was ultimately derailed by hardware issues and incompetence.The biggest issue with the Harris handhelds was that they were more paperweight than PDA. They were too big (slightly larger than a cell phone), didn't transmit data very well, and at one point during testing there were 417 outstanding technical requirements not being met. "Reverting b

Midnight, High Tide. 11-12 ins square, acrylic and coloured pencil painting. Vivien BlackburnSo far all the paintings I've done of this subject have been daytime or evening - I wanted to catch a nightime view and also do a painting with the tide high.I underpainted in a mix of ultramarine and raw umber and white. Ultramarine or indigo and burnt umber are what Paynes Gray is made up with - so that's a colour you really don't need to buy. If you mix your own you can tip it slightly bluer or slightly browner and have a little variety, which I think is more interesting than a flat colour.I then added touches of colour on the cliffs, in the clouds and the sea in purple, blues, green, ochre and brown coloured pencils. The underlying acrylics create a unity of colour and help with the nig
Across the beach, late afternoon, cool day, charcoal and coloured pencil, 18 ins sq. Vivien BlackburnAnother experiment with the charcoal and coloured pencil combination on grey paper - this time I did something I rarely do and included figures and a dog - it helps give the scale of those cliffs and rocks - the figures should actually be slightly smaller but the pencils wouldn't cooperate any smaller than this :>)Done using willow charcoal, polychromos and Lyra coloured pencils and a battery operated eraser on grey rough paper (which eats the pencils).The curve in the horizon is the paper not lying flat - not me tipping the sea up! detail enlarged - on the drawing this is less than half an inch highthe figures are just very loosely suggested, with their dog playing in the water. detail fro
beach, charcoal and coloured pencil, 7 x 7.5 inches Vivien Blackburn Experiments. The scan isn't level - the horizon is :>) - a small version of the charcoal/cp beach trying out a cream cartridge paper as the background. The toothier paper worked much better, this is a little too smooth. I also like working larger better. And the landscape below was a mixed media demo of acrylics loosely applied to grey card (which shows through in places) with a palette knife and then worked on with pastels and a little coloured pencil. Winter Fields. mixed media. Vivien Blackburn 8.5 x 5.5 inchesI'm hoping to push on with the canvasses tomorrow..
Evening Light across the Beach. Vivien Blackburn. Charcoal and coloured pencilThis is the charcoal drawing on grey paper that I showed you unfinished here: -update-february.html (scan down past the painting to it)I said that I was mulling over whether to simply use white pastel for highlights and keep it monochrome or add colour - and if colour what medium???I decided to try coloured pencils over the charcoal and see how they worked - they worked! I wanted to keep the colours very muted, this kind of evening light softens and dulls colours and the cliff was deeply shadowed and backlit.I worked in multiple glazes of colours to softly build white, blues, mauve, umber, sienna, peach, orange, ochres and a little green on the cliff top which doesn't show much onscreen as it's only a little.

Hagia Sophia in Istanbul which means the “Holy Wisdom” was constructed in 532 AD as a church, and later in 1453 it was turned into a mosque when constantinople was conquered by the Ottomans on the orders of Sultan Mehmet II, four minarets were then added to the church as well as other Islamic features as the minbar which was used by holy men (Cheicks) to perform their preaches and sermons. Well unfortunately the four minarets are not visible in my sketche, but they are there I am sure. What I really like about this (former church, later mosque, currently mueseum) is that the Islamic features and especially the 4 slim minarets outside do not appear to be a later addition to the initial body, on the contrary they blend in beautifully. Its Amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!!Please post your comments ab
