Brown with two black stripes
« on: February 24, 2013, 12:50:52 AM »
This is not strictly brush material, but it has a bearing on color choices, and martial bearing.  Today I tested for 10th level brown belt in Ryute Karate and passed. I am as happy with that achievement at age 66, as I am with anything that I have created or painted.  Just like painting an army composed of horde units; practice makes better, persistence pays off, and keeping a goal in mind enables you to focus your work.  Now if GW does not release any new range of empire I just might make black belt in a year or two.  So if your painting isn't as good as you would like try to think about what you know how to do, not what you don't, and keep going.  I am sorry if this doesn't belong here, but I just wanted to share with some people who matter to me.  steveb

Great achievement!

Also, I think what you say is very relevant as a "philosophy" of painting.

Senior in terms of age, or qualifications, or both?

Thats great  :smile2: Not familiar with the Ryute style myself, although I have been practising Kyokushinkai and Wadokai so I know it takes a lot of comittment to get that far.

I keep thinking this thread is about brushes, by the way.
