holy shit, the internet

UPDATE:

The other day I was surfing the internet and I found this specialized painting colour wheel, it shows how real paint colours relate to each other. 

Outside: the purest/brightest colours from the tube.

Inside: naturally muted or earthy colors, like browns and ochres.

The Center: dark neutral tones used for mixing shadows.

The Lines: two equilateral triangles. One shows the triad of primary colors, and the other shows the triad of secondary colors. Triads are traditionally used to create vibrant yet perfectly balanced compositions.

Complementary colors: are those located directly opposite each other on the wheel.

Shadows I:

If you want to achieve rich, dark neutrals, the standard rule is to mix a color with its direct complementary (opposite) tone. However, doing this can often make your shadows look flat or muddy.

Instead of using the exact complementary color, the real trick is to use one of the colors right next to it (either to the left or the right). By doing this, you avoid a dull mix and introduce a beautiful, subtle color bias into your shadow, keeping it clean and full of life. You can see an example of this in the second image.

I want to share this with you because I think it is really illustrative!

However the drunk guys are also drinking, and eventually she can't afford to buy another pitcher for the table so she can't keep up the ever-full beer glass trick. At this point she has to resort to setting up the pool trick shot that she's never seen anyone but her boyfriend pull off, and says she'll leave with whoever manages the shot first.

For as long as he’s been playing Captain America, Jensen Ackles can’t do anything in public without being recognized. As a result he spends a lot of time at home and in his trailer, watching YouTube. The opportunity to meet his favorite YouTuber comes as a surprise; what follows is a bigger one.

note: This is called out in the tags, but to be clear: this is an AU where Jensen and Jared live in Los Angeles, but the characters in this fic are only loosely based on the lives of the real actors. All other celebrities mentioned are ‘themselves,’ inasmuch as is possible for a fic depiction.

This is a multi-chapter story, intended to post once a week on Wednesdays. I expect it to be eight chapters, based on the current length.
