Quick Game for Your Right/Left Brain

Take a moment to play this little Twinoo Game which is a quick and fun exercise to stimulate the right and left brain hemispheres.

You can try to solve only the left brain exercises (simple arithmetic problems) or you can focus on the right brain exercises, blending colors ... or you can try to handle them both, and see how quickly you can go back and forth. I'm sure the more you do these, the faster you'll get. (Either that, or get a splitting headache!)

If you want to delve deeper, I've found an excellent article by photographer, Michael Fulks, from ApogeePhoto.com, called Does Your Left Brain Know What Your Right Brain Is Doing?

Enjoy!

Pigments - For Artists

Ever wonder, when you dip your brush into one of those smooth, creamy colors, just what did painters do before art shops made these gems so easily available?

"They are ground colored material. Early pigments were simply as ground earth or clay, and were made into paint with spit or fat. Modern pigments are often sophisticated masterpieces of chemical engineering....this exhibit includes most important pigments used through the early 20th century." From the site: WebExhibits.org.

And while we're at it, one of my all-time favorite places from which to order fabulous art supplies is Daniel Smith.

Luxuriate ...
