Next Beautiful Blossoms (Paper Deluxe 60lb) - Grayscale Coloring Book for Adults (Low Contrast)


Book Description

Paint and color like a master. Inside this book you will find 36 bright, crisp, stunning photos of flowers ready to paint or color. Lech Balcerzak shows that any image can be turned into a work of art using multi-layer artistic coloring. The Good Quality: Images are printed on one side on pure white, premium paper weighing 60 pounds. In addition, they are printed on the entire page, making them massively large and easy to color. In my art I prefer acrylics, oil paints, and colored pencils (including metalic colors by Coloré), you can also try watercolors, because the paper is thicker. But I think, watercolors are too transparent to color grayscale. To get vivid colors use opaque acrylic paints instead. Just try this all. You will gain experience with time. The tools: Lech advices - Colorful pencils alone and a desire are not enough. To get beautiful effects and have fun, it's best to buy all this tools below: - colored pencils with a tough core (e.g. Prismacolor Premiers) - colored pencils with a hard core (Shuttle Art) for darker fragments - a set of brushes (including a very small brush for painting details) - a set of acrylic paints of any company - pastel pencils (Stabilo CarbOthello, are better than classic pastels) - a set of markers - Kenting Magnetic Pad K4M with strong magnets - a special knife for cutting pages (names: Craft Knife, Snap Off Knife) - and if you want to try: a set of good watercolors ! Do not use blending stumps (can destroy the print) The more different tools, the better the fun will be. You don't have to have everything, but you'll see that when you have more tools, painting is more interesting and looks more and more professional. Description: Previously, Lech showed HCS (contrasting) and Deshading (less details) styles, which were very popular. See, for example, this book, which is all created in the style of HCS: https: //www.amazon.com/dp/1728772753 From the Author - About the Old Book: It is not true that the coloring book must be bright. My previous book had good reviews because it included beautiful, enlarged pictures of flowers, although it had high contrast and a gray background. But on the back cover you can see in color, how to use dark fragments to increase the contrast and get beautiful color effects. In general, the book was very easy to color, even for beginners or older children. You could use "naive coloring", this means - less work. About the New Book: This time, Lech posted the same moody photos, but they are brightened (pale). If you don't like too dark or contrasting images - this book is for you. Also, if you want to reach more than a "naive coloring" - this book is for you too. This book will take you to a higher level of coloring, which I called "hybrid, artistic coloring" because you can use pictures as sketches. On these sketches, just like a professional artist, you simply paint your own paintings using advanced painting technique and many different media: colored pencils, white and black fineliners, then pastel pencils (are better than classic pastels) and acrylic paints. You can get dazzling effects, you just need to do some rehearsals to gain experience. So, do not give up. L. Also, using our images as sketches, you can color, paint and improve your painting skills. Add your own shading and details, draw a small flower, add a shadow or a ray of sunshine. See colorful examples (left side of the screen). Write to the Author: Inside this book you will also find a private email to Lech and you can ask him for anything you want. You can write in English or French.




Space Is Open for Business


Book Description

For hundreds of thousands of years, humanity focused on space as a location. Today, space is not just a destination-it is a domain, an ecosystem, an enabler of progress, and quite possibly the most valuable industry of the twenty-first century.Three things you need to know: Space as an industry is notoriously complex-which means it's misunderstood. Space influences and benefits nearly every other industry on the planet. Accessing space has never been easier.Space investor and entrepreneur Robert C. Jacobson provides a comprehensive overview of this spectacular industry, allowing everyone on Earth to understand the integral role space plays in our lives and how it will continue to transform the world. Over one hundred industry experts share exclusive insights, presenting a 360-degree view of the wide-ranging space industry, its emerging opportunities, investment potential, benefits on Earth, and more.Space Is Open for Business provides a framework for those outside of the industry to understand the critical context that led to the commercial movement known as NewSpace, illustrating how private sector trailblazers have evolved this $350 billion global industry and how NewSpace's exponential growth will lead our world into a new era of progress.Foreword by David S. Rose Founder, New York Angels | Associate Founder, Singularity University"A sweeping guide that will inspire you to think big about space, the space economy, and your role within it."Matthew C.

FrameShifting


Book Description

FrameShifting is a unique user-centered guide to collaborating with others that combines structure and creativity. The FrameShifting methodology draws upon Alison Heiser's extensive experience as an executive and consultant working with leaders and teams in blue chip organizations including P&G, LensCrafters, Michelin, Accenture, Microsoft, BASF, Steelcase and many others. FrameShifting breaks new ground with the concept of Frame Archetypes. We profile the FrameBuilder, FrameSeeker, FrameMaster and FreeRadical using stories, illustrations, and real-life examples to describe their skills, Achilles' heels, and opportunities for growth. All over the world teams are working together to solve challenges they've never seen before. And far too often, an endless series of meetings leave people frustrated and with little to show for their efforts. FrameShifting is a skill that can be learned, and with practice it will step change how leaders and teams collaborate to drive innovative problem-solving in any organization. From the Foreword: "What Alison and Mary have done is to illuminate the discipline of problem framing and using frameworks effectively, making what has historically been more of an art into a learnable science that consultants of all flavors can use to increase the impact of their work with clients. However, this book is not just for consultants. It's for any businessperson who wants to learn to solve gnarly problems - and, importantly, to solve the right problems - with greater insight and rigor. And, importantly, it's for collaborators who want to engage others in the exploration and solving of tough problems. FrameShifting is as much a collaboration approach as it is a problem-solving approach."-Melissa Quinn, Innovation Advisor and Coach, former COO and Managing Director, Doblin, Deloitte Consulting

With this edition you can use colored pencils and acrylic paints concurrently. From the Author: I prefer colored pencils as the main medium (watercolors are not suggested). Then I put some acrylic paints on it. This is the final retouch, which strengthens the colors or changes the photograph into a painting. I also like a Matte Opaque Gel Extender Medium (also called Gelex, made by Liquitex). Sometimes acrylics are too transluent to lighten up dark areas. So you can mix Gelex with your acrylic paints to help make them more opaque. Acrylic paints must be dense, without dilution with water. If you need a bright color, just buy it ready for painting in the store. Too much water can destroy paper or photographs. You can mix acrylic colors, but you can not dilute them with water. Have a nice coloring.

Positively Triple Negative


Book Description

-A memoir- I have cancer! Now what? Living on the beautiful Caribbean island of Curaçao, at twenty-seven years old, that was the question I had to ask myself. Out of the blue, I was hit with a life-changing diagnosis and as my "normal" life stood still, I hopped on the scariest roller coaster of my life. I invite you to join me on this ride and read inside my mind. The mind of an optimist-the glass-half-full-of-sarcasm kind. While the experience was bumpy and lumpy, it was also filled with epiphanies, cancer perks, friendship, family, gratitude, and hope. So, at definite risk of sounding like a Hallmark card, this is not a story of tragedy, instead it is one of triumph. This is a book about learning the hard life lessons and coming out of it more positive, empowered, and resilient than before. Better and balder* through it all.*okay maybe that was just me.
