You want to be successful as an artist, is not it? And you're doing something for the sake of it. However, if you do not have a solid, coherent understanding of 'What am I doing? Why am I doing? Where do I go? ", You will not be easy. As a specialist in implementation of creative tasks, one of the most common problems among the artists I see that they are looking for their luck at random, they would wander as if across a vast desert. First, they do one thing and then something else then they begin to rework it and do another, and so on and so forth, until in the end do not end up on top of a huge pile of creative stuff. I ask them what they do and they tell me what they are doing art. Okay, suppose.

But here's a good question for the creative future: You are saying that doing art, but what does this mean? How do you know, 'Here, I've already started'? Do you understand your place now and that's where you want to come? How do you decide that you need to get to where you want? You know how it will look like? Imagine if you clear that and how do you do? Every time I ask about the artists, but often get dumb looks, than Answers. You may think that their hands are temporarily leave the body and walk themselves to the arts. 'No one cares about such things, it's not the problem of the artist', you say. 'My only concern is an art – and of let the rest take care of others' is not true. Others will not care. And you very well know. And you know, who should first take care of your art? You. Why? Because once you understand his work, see its development, the direction to which you refer.

Christmas, the day when the Savior appeared in our world – great for every Christian event. And in this great holiday there is a wonderful tradition – to give gifts to their loved ones. As the poet said, at Christmas we all some wise men, and, of course, think about gifts for our loved ones. One of the best options for such a gift can be a dimensional icon. Bought such an icon most babies. It is written in honor of the saint whose name was named the baby for baptism. Becomes an icon for special measurements: height board icon on which to write full-length image of the patron saint, corresponds exactly to the growth of the child at birth. This is unique dimensional icons, which, by the prayers of the saint, protects and heals the man with the early days of his life and throughout his earthly career.

Of course, dimensional icon can be presented and adult family members – because we all children of God. Today, our children from tv screens, from the Internet, fashion magazines brought down a shaft of violence and depravity. In these conditions, as repeatedly stressed the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Alexy ii, especially important to protect family values, by all means contribute to orthodox upbringing. And the revival of the tradition-dimensional icons – one way to achieve this goal. Child go to bed feeling under cover of the saint. Even playing in his room, and already starting to indulge in, glancing at the icon dimensional child asks himself how to react to self-indulgence of his saint.

If the child had quarreled with his parents – whom he will talk about his grief? Of course, before his holy dimensional icon. And perhaps, praying before the icon, he realizes that he was in this situation he is wrong and unfair to parents. Thus, the tradition of dimensional icons plays a significant role in the Orthodox upbringing in general. Dimensional icon can be ordered in the same name icon-painting studio, which works in Moscow just a few years, but in this relatively short period of time became known many. Workshop wrote personal, wedding, family icons, but the main areas of expertise, which is reflected in its name – writing-dimensional icons.

The machine has long ceased to be a luxury and became a means of transportation. Rarely see a car model that you have not yet seen, and when you meet, is quite a bit of time and such machines are already complete. Of course there are exceptions, I carry them cars produced in large quantities or not rare model, which, in turn, over time it becomes less and less. These vehicles are either in garages or secured collectors in a landfill, and all are less common on the roads. There is a logical question – what do those who want to stand out and not available at the same time significant amounts of money? There is a way, is "Tuning".

Tuning – translated to English means debugging, tuning! The first tuning mass-produced cars began to paint the car. The origin of modern tuning is considered to be the United States. Where in the mid 20 th century, American teenagers were seriously alter their cars, some even put on cars engines from trucks. Since that time the tuning was "fever" to capture all the civilized countries. If you drop deeper, the source of the Tuning can be considered human desire to stand out. This desire is in many ways the engine of progress.

Tuning becomes more affordable and provides an opportunity to stand out to those who want it. Tuning in turn divided into the garage – it is when the master himself tuning your car, on their own, in the corresponding place name, and professional – is when your car is tuning of a group of professionals in specialized areas, and they do so a set of professional tools and equipment. Some car enough and external tuning. It includes body kits (bumper, side skirts, spoilers, etc.), painting and airbrushing cars. This, of course, talking about cars, under the hood in which a herd of no less than two hundred horses. For the rest there is an "aggregate tuning, there are changes in the internal units of machines such as the gearbox, engine, improved suspension, etc. This increases power, speed and agility. There is also a "chip tuning" – a rewrite brain machine, which also increases its power and hence speed. Tuning is becoming increasingly popular, but did not and will not polls, this is his charm. Tuning your life!

Is meant here is not, of course, the great, underground oil tank that supplies the heater with a cloth, but the colors used by the painter on his canvases. Many fellow painters, whether professionally or as an active amateur artists know the problem. It has just not feel like, no time-or both-in order to treat you just started an oil painting on. Since I often-especially in the summer, when I want to be out of the room, but at sea, the mishap happened, while trying to continue the initiated daub, some total heap of dried paint on the palette may be in larger quantities mind led, that I have been waiting a little too long. And the brush that was not washed out and the hasty departure of the cool water is also over. After several of these events, I asked myself what could I use as an alternative. Now I guess I have to brush often very large areas, the Abdeckdeckel of 0.5 l yogurt cups, which I, as I very much like Eat yogurt, collected in large quantities.

Per color (eg yellow-ocher, etc.) I record a lid and mix the grade required me to this small amount of ink in the desired tone. This is just for flowers or leaves paintings very practical, because I will not mix an orange, but many varieties of this color in very small quantities and can use. Moreover, such a cover is light, one gets for hours painting, no tennis elbow by a heavy pallet. By the profile edge, the lid deforms also not so easy. An illustration of this: And should now be the case that one intends suddenly something else: not a problem, the lids are stacked and sealed by the profile edge quite well, So the color holds longer in serviceable condition. Den / I wrap the brush in the while chocolate-silver paper, which keeps them moist and consumption of brush cleaner is reduced significantly. With acrylic paint that goes, although it is, but the usefulness naturally much shorter, even if you are stacking in each lid a few drops of water. When painting backgrounds, large expanses of water, etc. I use a smaller range of homemade Plexiglas (of course), which, when dried, is simply removed with the blade. I hope you enjoy verbrauchsfreundlichen painting, here is my resulting oil paintings:
