I own an original watercolour of this artist. His paintings are sold in selected galleries across the UK, even in Harrods. His colour palette matches the UK landscape very well. Thank you for your wisdom, your elm try is lacking amongst other things.

This is so brilliant!

Very nice, love the portability of that!

yes the ph are very importent for pre. matereil in soltion❤

Hey thank you very much for the video we learned a lot. You might claim you're not the chemist but I beg to differ I think you have a lot of potential in that you should continue career of that sort. If you have any advice without a lot of chemicals how to get crystals cleaned up from their holes to rock without damaging any of the crystals if you have a simple trick I'd really appreciate it thanks a lot I really appreciate it just show

Thank you for an honest review so refreshing

this is ingenious!

So clever! Thanks for sharing

Thank you sir.. You are great 👍👍

More pencil/pen videos :)

You are spot on about the organization and exercises in the book. However, the advice about drawing what you see and about simplifying complex objects by breaking them down into simpler shapes is not contradictory. In fact, there are merely hidden premises which would show that it's not contradictory, and these pieces of advice are solutions to two different problems. A contradiction is (as is stated in the Law of Noncontradiction) both A and not-A *_in the same way and at the same time._***. The advice to draw what you see, not what you think ought to be drawn is common art instruction that helps reduce the likelihood that the student will draw unrealistic details because the mind tries to shortcut the process, leading them to to draw something other than what they see. This is very good and very necessary advice. You should not let your mind make you draw unrealistic, disproportionate, details. So, in that sense, you should only draw what you see. However, when things are too complex to easily draw what you see, ***_THEN_* (so at a different time) you should simplify the drawing into basic shapes (called stereometry). However, there is a caveat! The finished drawing shouldn't stay that way. You use stereometry to help you "block in" or construct a simplified image, but you go in and add in, and change, things to make it increasingly closer to reality in subsequent steps. This way you gradually transform the drawing from these simplified shapes *_INTO_* what you actually see. Since you aren't supposed to both draw what you see and not draw what you see, in the same way and at the same time, these two pieces of advice are not contradictory. Both things are actually necessary to draw well, just not at the same time or in the same way, and they are solutions to different problems. Betty Edward's book, even though the scientific claims in it are seemingly bunk, is great for solving the first issue (i.e., getting you to draw what you see), and books like How to Draw People and Sketching People by Jeff Mellem, How to Draw by Scott Robertson, just about any book on perspective, Basic Anatomy and Dynamic Human Anatomy by Roberto Osti, just about any book on illustration or animation, etc., are great for solving the second issue (i.e., helping you draw things that are complex by first simplifying them with basic shapes and, then, coming in and improving upon them afterwards). Please, don't take this as harsh criticism. It's not intended to be. I'm just trying to share constructive criticism. I think your video was great, and largely accurate! I agree with much of your criticism about this book, which is why I've not used it. And, as you say, you were pretty new to drawing when you made it, so you probably weren't yet familiar with these things that are well known to those who are knowledgeable about drawing.

Cool setup!

Thank you for sharing.

That's a really nice book for 50 cents!

Lovely idea with the painting in book. Thanks

Thank you for sharing your finds. I found the history of each fascinating. I 'm also one of those boring pencil people. It is such an interesting subject. Pencils where such apart of our culture and now so much is forgotten. I just found your videos and look forward to your next posting. Thanks again.

Great idea

Great Video. I started doing art seriously last summer, and recognise a lot of the themes in that book. Am I correct in thinking you have a scientific/logical approach to art? Does the book say start at the begginning and work your way through or is it a book to dip into where you need advice? How about making a video of painting a picture which you want to make? Making your own individual piece of art.

*your pencil supply should last through 2097*

6 years later, lol. I’d sure like to know what it is also. Did you ever find out? I am finding the exact same thing in a creek in Leesburg, VA, only they’ve been tumbled quite a ways as if in a tumbler for a week, but no shine. The one I cut open looks exactly like yours. Found a bunch more today by the same little creek. None are very big. However I was recently at a winery on the east side of the Blue Ridge. There was a big cutaway to create parking spaces and there I pulled out about a 5x5” cube shape of it. Sharper edges and smoother surface, but I think water is what wears off the smooth surface on the outside. When I cut the creek one open, it’s smoother inside. It’s very possible it is weathering out of the mountain and being carried downwards towards Leesburg. I saw on Google maps the creeks run down that way. I read in Virginia there is some kind of green rock that’s similar and is actually magma that shot out and cooled quick, so it is softer than obsidian because it didn’t have time to crystalize.

Congrats on 1000 subscribers 🎉 awesome video

thank you

Your a beginner at drawing? Your drawings look amazing to me.

i love this channel please keep them coming. i have that same book and love following along

An excellent tutorial on analytical chemistry. Thank you so much.

Great job! A book review with completed exercises ending with a human-interest story. Did you follow up with another one of his lesson books? Cinematography is an art in itself. If you have vehicle and the gas, drive!

I am halfway through the book and also find it frustrating that practically he doesn't teach any technical stuff about rendering, etc. It was fun to see your drawings! I think you are doing great actually. Good luck on the creative journey :)

Cool video! I run a small bio lab and I have so much re-purposed glassware to meet all my various needs. Cylindrical vases can make excellent graduated cylinders, and various teardrop shaped vases can make excellent volumetric flasks, provided you add the markings. I paint them on after calibrating by weight using water. Wine bottles can be combined with a cheap needle valve to become dropping funnels. Old sunglasses can be used for making polarizing filters for microscopy. Small jars can be used as petri dishes for agar plates. It’s quite fun assembling a functioning lab from repurposed items. I’ve grown quite attached to many of these glass pieces. In particular one 200mL graduated cylinder I’ve used on thousands of occasions was made from a faintly blue glass vase with a bubble in the bottom. It’s just so pretty compared to typical labware, and just as precise.

cool video thanks it was interesting

Neat video, I enjoyed it. Would have liked to see a stannous chloride test as well.

Anyone ship aniline to a residential address?

Oooh! I like those Rose Art natural wood pencils. I found some years ago labeled as USA Gold, and have been watching for more ever since.

Thanks for sharing your finds! I like the look of those Mallard pencils, especially the ferrules. I don't come across Mallards very often in the wild.

Always happy to find another pencil collector! Subscribing now!

What a great idea! Thanks so much for sharing your video for other OneSky owners.

Red streak and visual appearance leads me to think Martite.

Looks like mudstone. You need to do a thin section.

Tuff or ignimbrite. Pumice will float. Pumice is glasseous rhyolite. Highly vesiculated. Next below that is scoria. You have't given enough info for a proper ID.

You could also test for Arsenic. Arsenopyrite is very common. The more silver colour, the more Arsenic.

H2so4 on mineral. Rub clean iron or steel on it. If copper, will coat nail with Cu.

The yellow liquid maybe gold.

Great experiment and nice video

if you have one email i will send you some photo from irak i dont know piret or platinium i have som pice

Wow very nice

very interesting!

Hi! Drop me a line : [email protected]

very very cool, thanks

Can u please show the connection properly

How much does it cost

Awesome Video, is gret to see you again!!!! Loving your Lab!
