Take care as you work at your drawings and paintings searching for visual perfection. Even if you are capable of producing exact copies, make sure you aren't missing the key ingredient...
"The best pictures have a sense of life of their own"
It doesn't matter what art medium you work with... Oils, watercolor, acrylics, pastels, inks, charcoal, pencil or crayon. Each has its own painting and drawing quality. In good hands each has its own personality and character...
In the hands of a skilled artist the character and personality of the art medium can be influenced by the artist themselves...
An oil painting has depth and texture that can be flattened by turpentine or linseed oil or other thinners
The surface texture can be roughened by oil color being applied straight from the tube with a knife
There are other additives that can be used to thicken oils more
An artist working with acrylics also has a wide choice of additives to thicken and thin paint consistency. It also has the advantage of being water soluble... allowing watercolor style paintings to be created.
Watercolor artists also have many tricks and techniques... including wax resist.
Also, for drawing you have the choices of working with burned wood (charcoal), graphite (pencil) and ground stone (chalks and pastels). Each will give you different qualities.
The truth is...
It isn't the substance of the art materials used that makes a drawing or painting look great... It is what the artist does that makes the difference.
It is the artist who gives a painting a sense of life
It is an artist who gives a feeling of movement to a drawing
It is the artist who feels what the nature of charcoal can give to the quality of his sketch
The reality is that unless you are prepared to get to know the painting medium of your choice and understand what it can do for you... You will struggle to get the best results... Your paintings will be average at best
If you aren't prepared to practice your drawing skills with graphite, charcoal or ink... whichever drawing medium you use will disappoint you.
Your best Art will come from...
Your hard work and effort
Your commitment and dedication
Your knowledge of the art materials you use
And your artistic flair
Go on... have some real fun with your artwork... Give your Art some Heart. Let your character and personality shine through into your drawing and painting.

Building Muscle Strength - 5 Tips For Building Strength and Muscle Quickly
Despite your best efforts to build muscle strength, has it still not happened yet? Does it seem like no matter how hard you train you still can't get the results you want? Today I'm going to share with you, 5 killer tips and techniques that will have you building muscle strength like never before.
If you are not using these 5 techniques then you will always find it hard to add muscle and strength no matter how hard you train. OK, so let's get started building strength and muscle.
1. Train like a barbarian. How often do you see people at the gym just sitting around and not building up a true sweat? If you want to get the results you want then you have to work hard. Focus on every set and rep like it's the last you will ever do. Push yourself to the limit. There's an old saying "You only get out of it what you put into it".
2. Focus on the main big muscle groups. Spend most of your time on your chest, back, shoulders etc with compound exercises such as dead lifts, squats, chin ups, bench presses, barbell rows, over head presses, leg presses and dips. This will allow you to train harder, have better technique, finish more reps and recover faster. If you focus on weak muscles like the biceps and calves then all you will end up with is weak muscles.
3. Keep rest times short and honest. This ties in well with point one. If you have large breaks in between each set not only are you not going to get the full benefit of a workout but you are not going to be able to measure your improvement. Keep a stop watch and stick to your plan, and you will reap the rewards.
4. Supplements. Supplements are great for building strength and muscle but only if you choose the right ones. Make sure that the product you are using has been around for over 3 years as there are a lot of flashy new products whose long term effects have not been tested. The best products which I recommend to use are protein powder, powdered creatine, fish oil tablets and multi vitamins. Using these products is great for building muscle strength.
5. Commitment and dedication. It takes a great deal of commitment to follow through with a workout routine but it is your only option if you want to build muscle. You should try to work out 3-4 times a week. This strains and puts enough tension on the muscles for them to grow but doesn't over work them. After your workout let the muscles heal with a protein shake and rest.
Ok, so now you know my 5 tips for building muscle and strength. Remember and apply these tips and techniques and you will soon get the body that you desire- the body of your dreams. Weight lifting isn't a 5 minute wonder, but with the right advice and teachers you can build muscle quickly.

2 Things That Will Help You Understand How to Deal With Childhood Obesity and Exercise
Achieving a healthy lifestyle does not always involve acts of free choice. Not everyone, for example, can make free choice about what food to eat, when to exercise, how much leisure time is available and whether to be involved in a particular type of physical fitness exercise.
Children acquire information about health and lifestyle behaviors from varying sources- family members, peers, and mass media, school and government bodies. These sources often provide conflicting information.
Each individual needs to be able to take some responsibility for managing his or her own lifestyle. You need to know what diet and exercise you will consider for to achieve your goal in life of keeping fit. Parents too need to know what nutritional foods are healthy for the child. Do not just feed your baby anyhow, but rather be systematic and knowledgeable on the kinds of food that will not risk your child to be obese. Diet and exercise plans are beneficial for one to know, and if possible, get a program.
To my first point;
1. Critical analysis when it comes to Sports and Exercise.
Childhood obesity is caused by lack of exercise. Researchers have found out that the most significant factor in contributing to childhood obesity is lack of physical exercise like sports.
The skills and processes of critical analysis, e.g. reasoning, generalizing, analyzing, hypothesizing and evaluating enables one to make informed, rational decisions about;
a. Behaviors that affect their well-being;
b. Using health products and services;
c. Participation in leisure and recreational activities;
d. Improving personal performance.
Weight loss should be a deliberate decision. Get to the gym and shed that excess unwanted weight. One should be able to evaluate his or her own performance. Chances are that one can stay obese for the rest of their life's, which can lead to other complicated diseases such as Diabetes.
Information gained from reflection on experiences, feedback from others and past experiences can be used to adapt and improve performance.
2. Exercise program.
Have a weight loss plan and it is recommended one get to get a weight loss program. This way it is easier to see the progress that you have made and also to watch your weight.
Natural weight loss programs are the best to go for, this is because they provide a long-lasting weight loss results. ''No pain No gain''. Soon your hard work will pay off, be committed and dedicated.
One key ingredient that one needs is motivation. It is not easy to lose weight especially if its childhood obesity. It will take time to get the desired body weight, be of good courage.
Eat well too; do not starve yourself because you want to lose weight. The food that you eat will give you strength to do your exercise daily.

Visualize Your Commitment and Expectations When Team Building
Building a team in Business, government, or in the nonprofit sector is never easy, but if you want to be successful you are going to have to learn how. The first thing you must do is, "commit" to reasonable expectations and make sure the group is committed to the cause. The best way to do this is to help everyone in the group visualize their own commitment.
They need to see themselves working hard and giving it 100% of their energies and effort. Often, popular movies can help your team visualized its commitment; for instance, the movies; Rocky, Vision Quest, The Karate Kid, St. Elmo's Fire, or Top Gun.
Once the team members see themselves and visualize themselves working as hard as those characters in those movies, and understand what it will take, they can become dedicated to the cause and exceed their expectations. If each member of the team is committed to persevere through the good times and the bad in pursuit of the ultimate goal then anything is possible.
In the book "Psycho Cybernetics" by Maltz, the author talked about how athletes visualize the win in advance of the competition. He also discussed how basketball players could sit at the free-throw line holding the ball and visualize the ball going through the net.
He noted that when they did this, they actually did better than those basketball players in practice which simply shot free throws for six hours straight. When the game finally did come it was the players that visualized, which scored more free-throw points, then those who actually practice shooting the ball. Visualization of your commitment and expectations is crucial to building your team. Please consider all this.
