Chinese Watermedia - Eileen Fong

Complete color
illustrations of each step will help artists in learning the details of this method of painting.
Subjects covered include a wide range of flowers, birds and natural settings. Painting techniques are
complemented by details on papers and their preparation as well as techniques of mounting finished
works.

Art Quotes
|
|
Painting gave meaning to my life which without it it would not have had.
:::
Francis Bacon :::
The attitude that nature is chaotic and that the artist puts order into it is a very
absurd point of view, I think. All that we can hope for is to put some order into ourselves.
::: Willem de
Kooning :::

Recycling VHS tapes and DVDs
I just learned that Weyerhaeuser Recycling accepts many types of plastics
including:
VCR tapes
DVDs, CDs
Jewel cases
Cassette tapes
As technology makes VHS tapes obsolete many of us have old tapes that we just throw
out. Consider recycling them instead and help save our landfills. Weyerhaeuser forwards these to
companies that take the tapes apart and recycle evey part.
You can ship these materials "Media Mail" and it is really inexpensive. It
will make you feel good, too.
Ship to: Weyerhaeuser Recycling - 3425 E. 17th - Eugene, Oregon, 97403
