How to paint an RC shell
Dating back as far as 2500 B.C. and probably further, women and men have adorned their ears with decorative trinkets known as earrings. One of the first styles discovered from ancient times were hoop earrings, which has endured the fickle nature of fashion to still be a popular style thousands of years later.
Changing trends
Throughout history, fashion and hairstyles have dictated the trend of adorning the ears. When high collars and elaborate hairstyles and hair pieces were in fashion, the ears didn’t need anything. But, when hair was piled up and necklines plunged, there was suddenly a lot of open space that needed something. Gemstone diamond earrings commonly dangled from the upper class ladies in their piled high wigs.
The popularity of wearing ear jewelry waxed and waned over the centuries, but after World War I and the arrival of short flapper hair-styles, they made resurgence and silver earrings and other styles remain popular to this day.
Men also wear them to make some sort of statement, usually as a status symbol. They may wear one gold earring as a hoop or stud or they may don a pair of diamonds. There is no rule about the right and wrong way for a man to wear his jewelry. It’s all about what he feels comfortable with.
The classics
There are a few styles that are classic and will always be popular. Designers often embellish these basics, but they are great plain or elaborate.
Hoop- This style can be a full circle, half or even a dangle. Decorative images can be showcased in the center of the circle or charms can dangle down the middle. There is a lot of versatility with this classic style, but the plain hoop remains the most popular. They can be tiny for a conservative look or very large to add drama.
Stud- This is a simple style that consists of a gemstone, gold or silver ball or knot attached to a post. It just covers the pierced hole. Jackets can be added for a fancier look.
Dangle- Threader ones are a new trend that fall into the dangle category. The concept is simple- the piece dangles from the ear and moves with the body. Chandelier diamond earrings and other
embellishments are also a variety of the dangle style.
Drop- The drop is different from the dangle in that it is stationary and it does not hang as far below the earlobe. A drop is typically a single piece so that there is no movement. Drop pearl ones are a simple classic look, particularly for a wedding.
Because designers are constantly coming up with new trends and designs, there will always be something for every personality. Earrings are a way for a person to have some fun and express themselves.
And, the best part is that they can change their style from day to day. One day, she might feel a little flirty and want to feel the gold brushing her shoulders. Another day, she may just want to see the sparkle of solitaire diamonds when she tucks her hair behind her ear. In the world of ear trinkets, anything goes!
Earrings have long been a part of the human culture.
Various forms of ear art are found in almost every civilization. To know more about them, visit http://www.gemaffair.com
I want to take up painting and drawing?
What are some materials I need to start. What materials do I need to take up drawing, (in pencil/charcoal)? (the kind of pencils, tools, paper…etc), and painting, (oil based paints, an easel…)? It would be nice if you could tell me what product/brand I should use. This is all on a budget and I am new to this, so links would be nice. Any recommendations for good quality starter kits would be nice. Thanks.
You may want to start with just one or the other (drawing and painting, that is), as there is quite a lot to learn in both – I would start with drawing, which is about skills you need for both, and then begin on painting when you are comfortable enough with your drawing level to start painting your drawings. Of course, you can do both at once if that’s what you want to do, but I would find it easier that way myself.
The answer above covered basic materials well, so I’m just going to add that I’d also suggest some learning materials – some books on your favourite drawing or painting subjects are really invaluable when you are starting out, and should give you a thorough explanation of the kind of materials that may be useful for you. This website has some fantastic drawing tutorials, and I recommend you look at the first one about drawing materials, which should be just what you are looking for right now: http://www.drawspace.com
Different kinds of paint are very different to use, so if you have the chance to try them out before you splash out on a set, it would be very wise to do so, but I second the acrylics over oils motion. I prefer watercolour myself, so I’m not very knowledgeable about oil-based paints – but I will direct you to this website, too, since it’s another place with good lessons. http://www.simplypainting.com/
Best of luck. 
Here's my opinion: artistic talent is largely learned. Most of the so-called experts will argue this statement, of course. They’ll proclaim that artistic oil painting techniques are only in the grasp of those rare individuals that are born with a mysteriously God-like ability to create art. Being lowly mortals, we should never even try to understand art let alone try to create it. Give me a break! Click here For the rest of the story: Free Painting Lesson
