Boutique Womens Fashion by Nikita Sernack
View recent Nookie Collections on Australian Fashion Review Blog.
Introduction to the Nookie Fashion Label
Australian-born fashion designer Nikita Sernack began her highly successful career in the fashion industry back in 2003, when she and her childhood Brooke Coleman founded womenswear fashion label, 'Nookie'. Inspired by the eclectic Sydney lifestyle and a mutual love of street style, urban music, vibrant colours and exotic prints, Nookie channels the essence of summer fun. The name of the brand, Nookie, invokes the playfulness that the label has become so well known for, but it is actually a combination of the founders names, Niki + Brooke = Nookie.
The Nookie fashion label soon became a favourite of fashion stylists and magazines, regularly featuring on the pages of publications such as Cleo, Cosmopolitan, In Style and Grazia. The addition of the beach and swimwear, Nookie Beach, in 2006, furthered the popularity and international reach of the womenswear brand. As of early 2012, the Nookie collections were available through 180 boutiques throughout Australia, as well as being a successful Australian export being sold in boutiques in the US and UK.

The LD feel hurt by Labours leaflet that implies Daisy is 'too busy to care'.
As smears go thats actually pretty silly, Daisy is known to work hard. By comparison she got off lightly, a few years ago Labour tried to link us Greens to terrorists; it was so ridiculous that the media didn't pick it up. Another year they claimed we were linked to the BNP! In a sense I prefer their smears to be so ridiculous, it made them look foolish. Aside from Richard Mckenzie, this year I have seen no mention of us from Labour. I think their tactic may have backfired. Richard is being a bit slow on the uptake. Indeed his PPC has been saying "Vote Red, Get Green"! Tell that to the Cow lane allotment holders where Lab want to build a road, or the small shops where Lab have brought in giant supermarkets.
Daisy in her blog writes
"I met up with Alok Sharma (Conservative) and Adrian Windisch (Green Party) earlier today to sign a 'Clean Campaign Pledge'. I think it's important that we strive to mount a positive campaign attacking policies not people. The Labour candidate doesn't appear to have signed the pledge so far, which is a pity. I drove along Oxford Road today and saw the latest Conservative posters looming down from billboards - they feature a creepy photo of Gordon Brown smiling alongside claims of Labour 'failure'. I think it was supposed to be ironic but I just thought they looked cynical. Lots of people will look at the those posters and think 'they're both as bad as each other'. In fact, that's what people have already said to me on seeing them."
They say to me that all parties are all as bad at each other, and they have a point; in many ways the big ones are similar. Why the LD think they are somehow different I don't know, there position is so often between the Lab & Cons. That may be due to triangulation, which has lead Lab and Cons to claim the centre ground, leaving no room for the LD. All were named in expenses scandals.
I don't mind her writing this, but it is a little amusing that it comes so soon after saying 'we strive to mount a positive campaign'. I did agree with her point 'attack policies not people'. Now I often discuss on here other political parties, but I do it by quoting them, as I have above. No made up 'facts', no misrepresentation. I ask questions about them, I compare what they say at different times, I compare policies of one party to the next.
I must admit I'm not so strict on twitter, there isn't room for one thing. I once retweeted a comment about Ashcroft funding Alok Sharma in Reading West. A Tory told me it was wrong, that I should check my facts. Well it takes some months for the donations to appear on the electoral commission website, so not easy to check. By retweeting, I was saying it was interesting, not that it was correct. So it may be wrong, if so sorry, but it wasn't personal.
The LibDem Reading East PPC attacked me a few months ago 'The fact is that anyone our LD members select to fight Reading West will have much firmer green credentials than Lab and the Tories could muster between them and the credibility lacked by the maverick Green candidate there.' Well he is entitled to his opinion, but it is a personal attack on me. Since then things have calmed down between us, I suspect his comments didn't win him any support. I have not attacked him in return, but I do continue to comment on other parties.
For example I did a series on the big three parties policies on wind farms. Tory, Labour and LibDem

The Impact of Seva Mandir
Every year, as a result of Seva Mandir's efforts, 12,000 disadvantaged children receive a quality education; 8,000 women and children out of reach of hospitals are offered critical health services; thousands more families achieve food security and sustainable livelihoods through the rehabilitation of hundreds of acres of land; and 9,000 women move closer to gender equality and financial independence through women's groups and lending cooperatives. This work is largely accomplished through forging bonds with and empowering villagers who have demonstrated grassroots leadership abilities. Volunteer and visiting scholar, Firouz Ardalan, spent two years with Seva Mandir observing and interviewing local agents of change and in 2015 brought their voices to a broader audience in his book, Silver Fodder. The following excerpts capture a few of their remarkable stories.
Unlike in the US, where many nonprofit organizations are narrowly specialized in terms of population served and development focus area, the approach at Seva Mandir is comprehensive, addressing a network of critical needs in support of individuals across the entire lifespan while also prioritizing work at the community level. Each piece of programming at Seva Mandir connects vitally with all of the others, generating a scaffold of interlocking positive impacts that constitutes both a social safety net and a ladder of opportunity.
For example, Seva Mandir's Early Childhood Care & Development program uses UNICEF's '1,000 day' approach to enhance the likelihood a baby will survive its first 5 years by employing local women as Balsakhis (Friends of Children). They are ante & post-natal health workers, which not only raises their own sense of value within the community but also provides income to help support their own families. These women receive professional training and a structure for collaboration through Seva Mandir, which is the very same organization that maintains accessible day care centers and primary schools so they can work without sacrificing their own children's well-being. Teachers in Seva Mandir-administered education programs come also from the community and have often been recipients themselves of scholarships derived from funds generated by Community Forum initiatives, such as water retention projects for instance that facilitate fish farming ventures, livestock sustenance and/or agricultural yield expansion. The circle of connecting positive impacts is complex and grows wider with every year Seva Mandir renews its commitment to sustainable development of such depth and scale.
With an annual budget of over four million dollars, Seva Mandir relies on a mix of private and public funding to accomplish its mission. In a region where the average individual lives on roughly 20 Rupees, or the equivalent of 35 cents per day, donations to Seva Mandir from the US have an outsized impact on program investment potential, both in terms of purchase power and by virtue of being flexible as to use. Whereas most Indian government funds and contributions from national corporations are tied to specific programs, foreign giving can be applied directly to emerging priorities and provides Seva Mandir invaluable flexibility.

Several years ago, the Texas Medical Association discovered that more than 1,000 doctors in the state of Texas were taking advantage of a members-only insurance program, even though they were not members of TMA. By bringing these nonmembers back into membership, the result was a top-line dues revenue increase of nearly $500,000. How did they make this discovery? Using business intelligence.
In the past two years, there has been quite a bit of buzz around business intelligence. But what is it? And how are associations using it?
Business intelligence (BI) is a management process for using data to make decisions. Others call it fact-based or data-based decision making. At its root, of course, is using data to help make decisions and improve your business.
While software is part of the business intelligence equation, it should be clear that BI is a management process that software can support. This means that a BI initiative does not require a large investment in business intelligence software and consulting. As we'll see below, there are good examples of "low tech" business intelligence initiatives producing great results.
Business intelligence can help you find "overlooked" data, help you focus on your best customers, or even help you develop new products, services, and pricing models.

Moon Highest Peak
Forum for the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) is NASA's orbiting the moon was successfully demonstrated the highest point in months. The point is the plateau near the crater Engel'gradt which has a diameter of 27 miles.
Known, the elevation is 35,360 feet (about 10,000 meters) or approximately 6400 feet (1938 meters) higher than Everest.
LRO has a tool capable of firing a laser beam that measures the height of the lunar surface. Data from this LRO compared with the moon's surface stereo images taken on August 12, 2010. The way it enables scientists to precisely measure the height and the coordinates of the highest point in this month.
Altitude are found in this observation is calculated relative to the average height of the lunar surface. The way it is because scientists do not have a reference to determine the altitude of the moon, not like measuring height on Earth which depends on the sea surface.
In contrast to the geological setting of Everest that took tens of millions of years, the highest place in this month is expected to form in just minutes. This place is formed as a result of asteroid strikes the moon's south pole about 4 billion years ago.

PoP AUTUMN WEDDINGS
AUTUMN WEDDINGS | The Colors of Love
The temperatures cool and the leaves begin to change. The mountains, hillsides and valley display a kaleidoscope of color from the red and orange of the Bigtooth Maple to the infamous bright and bold Yellow Aspens. The breathtaking landscape is the perfect backdrop for a wedding.
During this time of year, we love working with dahlias, roses, hydrangeas and many types of greenery. The colors of the season are limitless with creamy whites, pastels, earthy tones and rich hues.
The colors in the Vail Valley reach their peak between early to mid-September and mid-October, while the colors Down Valley begin and end about a week or so later. Area outdoor festivals and events are winding down and the Vail Valley quietens before beginning its flurry of activity to prepare for what is commonly known as "the season."
Despite being in-between two of the Valley's popular seasons, most of the summer venue options are still open - with some exceptions from late October through November when it's recommended to be inside. Indoor or outdoor, Petals of Provence has the experience to create elegant, original floral designs for every part of your wedding (welcome baskets, luncheons, dinners, rehearsal dinner and reception) and for everyone in your party (special guests, children and pets). We also work with bakers to add flowers to your wedding cake and event planners to add flowers to arches, vases, pews, chairs and more.
We'd love to work with you! Call us today to schedule your complimentary consultation and reserve a spot on our calendar.

The plot builds momentum at a steady pace, increasing with intensity as each chapter unfolds. You coordinate an epic cast of characters well with your shifts within the chapters. Your descriptions of the fantasy/supernatural characters are well-done, especially those that emerge after the earthquake."

Interview with paper artist Nikki McClure
working within your limitations
Matt: So starting off, I want to talk about the inefficiency of your craft. What are your thoughts on lasers, specifically laser cutting machines? You could totally sketch something on black paper and have a machine efficiently and precisely cut something out.
Nikki: (laughter) Well, it might not be as efficient as you think. Allowing a computer to make your decisions as far as line weight and what is light and dark, that's asking a lot of a computer. You'd end up doing a lot of work at the computer for the computer to be able to do the work.
I sketch, cut and send it to a friend who scans it for me. I have limited myself, but I'm also totally dependent on this other person. So, that's how I feel about laser cutters, or computers. It has this idea that it was supposed to save us so much time, but it hasn't; its just made us spend more time with it.
Matt: Yeah, that's deep and really good! What do you get out of your slower, deliberate art? What's in it, that even if a laser cutter could do your art, it just can't communicate?
Nikki: Right. I love the decisiveness of it. That actions have immediate results to the cutting. It is really meditative. As I'm cutting, it's just my thought. I really like the actual physical part of it, and it stimulates me in ways other things don't.

A maidam (অসমীয়া: মৈদাম ) is a tumulus of the royalty and aristocracy of the medieval Ahom Kingdom (1228-1826) in Assam, India. The royal maidams are found exclusively at Charaideo, near Sibasagar; whereas other maidams are found scattered in the region between Jorhat and Dibrugarh towns. Structurally, a maidam consists of vaults with one or more chambers.[1] The vaults have a domical superstructure that is covered by a hemispherical earthen mound that rises high above the ground with an open pavilion at the peak called chow chali. An octagonal dwarf wall encloses the entire maidam.
The structural construction and the process of royal burials are explained in historical documents called Chang-Rung Phukanor Buranji, which detail even the articles that were buried. Later excavations under the Archaeological Survey of India found some of the maidams previously defiled,[2] with the articles mentioned in the Buranji missing. Many of the maidams were excavated and looted, most famously under the Mughal general Mir Jumla who had occupied Garhgaon briefly in the 17th century, and under the British after 1826.
The Ahom community in Assam consider the excavation as an affront to their tradition, because the maidams are associated with the Ahom ancestor worship and the festival of Me-Dam-Me-Phi.

Sewer/Rodent Odor Detection
Servicing entire continental US.
Specialized Pipe Technologies' (SPT) experts will help you get rid of those recurring or persistent sewer gas intrusions or odors.
With SPT's sewer odor detection services, you can pinpoint the location of sewer odor leaks from the sanitary system as well as isolate and pressurize the suspected system to determine leak areas. We will pressure test the sanitary system to locate the problem causing sewer gas. Once your problems are located, your plumber can make the necessary repairs.
Our process involves vapor testing your sanitary system. We induce a vapor that has the same properties as sewer gas. With a very distinct smell and being able to see the vapor, we follow both back to faults and rodent activity in your sanitary system. If there is a fault in the sanitary system causing sewer gas, we will find it!
Establish a relationship with SPT and see what's really going on in your system.

I was in two minds whether to include a couple of figures on the beach; in this kind of painting it's always a difficult decision to make. Sometimes I think figures can help to animate the image, give a sense of scale and/or provide a focal point… but in this case I prefer the feeling of solitude the empty beach suggests.

Why STUDY ARCHITECTURE?
Architecture is the art, practice, & science
of designing & constructing buildings & spaces.
Architecture is a marriage of the arts and the sciences. It calls on practicality, craft, imagination, and analysis.
The value of architecture lies in going beyond the necessities of shelter, to create spaces which evoke intense emotional responses, and which make us feel truly alive.
Architectural thinking has impact across a range of applications, dealing with important questions such as:
- how will climate change affect the way we life? The way we use materials?
- how will we build communities on mars?
- what will population increase, an aging population and the housing crisis mean for how we built spaces for our communities to grow up in, to live in, and to grow old in?
Studying architecture is more than learning how a traditional house goes together, it's discovering and developing a series of skills and tools which enable you to engage - critically, creatively and practically - with these new, exciting, and important issues as they arise.
Whatever your path in architecture, it's sure to be full of challenges and rewards.
The more you give, the more you'll get back.
new zealand
Although there are many different pathways available, qualifying to be an Registered Architect in New Zealand typically involves 3 steps:
- 5 years at university (completing accredited courses); and
- a minimum of 3 years of professional experience; and
- sitting a professional examination to complete Registration.

If you're eyeing for a Birkin bag but don't want to spend several years on Hermès' waiting list, here's a chance to buy one (or thirty) on the world's first pop-up yacht during the 56th Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show on November 6 to 8.
Taking advantage of the "astronomical wealth of the mega yacht community during boat show week," said Jeff Berk, Founder of Privé Porter in a press release; VanDutch, maker of the world's most luxurious yachts, and Privé Porter, the Instagram-based curators and purveyors of authentic and uncarried Birkin bags, team up in this decadent collaboration. Together, the luxurious duo presents a collection of 30 to 35 calfskin, crocodile, and alligator skin Birkin bags over an assortment of 25cm, 30cm, and 35cm sizes, which will be encased in a custom, jewel-like, multi-tiered display custom fitted to the VanDutch 55 pleasure yacht.
So if you feel like viewing or buying one of these PETA-unfriendly handbags—which starts at $15,000 for a calfskin Birkin, to $360,000 for a Braise Shiny Porosus 35cm Crocodile Birkin with 18-karat white gold and diamond hardware—schedule an appointment with Privé Porter and hop onto the $1.7 million yacht as it cruises along the intracoastal waterway past hundreds of multi-million dollar villas, boat show week parties and waterfront restaurants in South Florida. Alternatively, you can pay a cool $4 million for all the bags and the yacht altogether. And don't worry if one or two handbags are sold before you buy the whole package, according to Dirk DeSouza, Chief Marketing Officer of VanDutch and Spokesperson for Privé Porter. "Privé Porter will go all out to make sure you have all the bags you desire for the money's worth," he said.
Describing the result of this VanDutch-Privé Porter collaboration as the ultimate luxury package, De Souza shared his top picks for "the yachtswoman who thought she had everything."
Undoubtedly the rarest of all Hermès bags, the diamond Birkin bags are reserved for only the most elite clients of Hermès who spend upwards of $2 million per year with the brand, according to DeSouza. The current retail price for a 35cm diamond bag is $330,000. The color 'Braise' is akin to a Ferrari-red, which is rarely seen and in the highest demand of all Hermès exotic colors. In asking for $360,000, Berk added, "We're not only chasing the Christie's record for an auctioned Birkin that recently sold for $221,846, but we're confident that because our bag is unused (unlike their bag), we'll break that record-setting price."
This pure-white matte alligator bag is significant in many ways. Aside from being one of only 100 pieces made to celebrate the grand opening of Hermès' Shanghai boutique in 2014, "it's also the only time the brand has ever made an exotic skin white bag," said DeSouza. Privé Porter was able to purchase two of these bags, one of which was sold for $125,000. So since this is the last one available in the market, it could be worth even more.
Combining the three Hermès exotic leathers of matte alligator, ostrich, and lizard skins, the Grand Marriage is part of a limited edition, exotic collection finished with rarely-seen permabrass (pink gold) hardware. DeSouza noted that a bag like this is often sold for upwards of $125,000.
The holy grail of Hermès bags—the Himalayan Birkin—is by far the most in-demand of all Birkin exotic handbags, according to DeSouza. Only available to VIP clients who spend upwards of $1 million per year with the brand, this bag is handcrafted from a special breed of albino crocodiles, whose skin is dyed to resemble the Himalayan mountains. A bag like this is consistently sold at auction for as high as $185,000.
And obviously…
#5: VANDUTCH 55 ($1.7 million)
Designed in Holland and made in the U.S., this award-winning yacht has all the signature VanDutch elements: monolithic, striking yet minimalistic style, with near-vertical bows plus wide-open and lounge-like cockpits. But what's particularly noteworthy about this yacht is the extra amenities, such as the sun bathing area in the back, an exterior retractable dining zone perfectly protected by the expansive windshield, and the addition of an electric Bimini top.

Snow doesn't deter throngs from showing up
Foals completed the second of two shows last night (February 13) at Silent Barn in Brooklyn, NY before heading off to Seattle today.
Due sub-zero temperatures and snow, the band played to a virtually sold-out crowd at Bowery Ballroom the night before, during which guitarist Jimmy Smith threw up on stage.
The show was something of a feat for the band, whose debut album 'Antidotes' has not yet been released in the US. They signed to Sub Pop just before CMJ last year, and the LP is scheduled to come out April 8.
The band will return in April for a full tour of North America.
They played:
1. 'xxxx'
2. French open
3. Cassius
4. Olympic airwaves
5. Electric bloom
6. Balloons
7. Heavy water
8. Two steps
9. Hummer
10.Red Sox Pugie
11. Mathletics

BATON ROUGE - The officers who shot and killed Alton Sterling two years ago outside a Baton Rouge gas station will not face charges in Sterling's death.
Attorney General Jeff Landry announced the decision at a press conference this morning after laying out a detailed account of what happened the night Baton Rouge Police Officers Blane Salamoni and Howie Lake attempted to arrest Sterling.
"The Louisiana Department of Justice cannot proceed with a prosecution of either Officer Lake or Officer Salamoni," Landry said.
The two officers who responded to reports of a man brandishing a handgun outside the Triple S Food Mart the night of July 5, 2016.
Sterling repeatedly ignored verbal commands to comply with the officer's demands, Landry said, resulting in an escalating situation that resulting in the officers shocking Sterling twice with a Taser.
Last May, the Department of Justice declined to press federal charges in the case.
"After an exhaustive, almost year-long investigation, all of the prosecutors and agents involved in this case have come to the conclusion that insufficient evidence exists to charge either officer with a federal crime in connection with this incident," acting U.S. Attorney Corey Amundson said at the time.
Landry said his office received all of the evidence gathered in the DOJ's investigation, which they received several weeks after the DOJ announced its decision
"This investigation included an examination and a reexamination of all evidence provided by the Federal Government," Landry said.
Every witness was interviewed again, and every piece of evidence was reexamined.
"Our investigation has concluded that officers Lake and Salamoni attempted to make a lawful arrest of Mr. Sterling based on probable cause," Landry said.
Lake and Salamoni used verbal commands, moved to more strict commands, and used non-lethal measures before finally using fatal force, Landry said.
They operated under the assumption that Sterling was armed, an assumption that was proven correct when a loaded .38 caliber pistol was found in the pocket of Sterling's pants.
Landry said his office was not tasked with deciding if the police department's procedures were followed or if the officers could have used different tactics, but if they approached the situation in a legal manner.
Ultimately, Landry said, they did, resulting in the decision not to press state charges in the fatal incident.
Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards released the following statement after Landry's announcement:
"The death of Alton Sterling was a tragedy that evoked deep grief and anger across Baton Rouge and Louisiana. Our communities continue to heal from the events of the summer of 2016," Edwards said. "While everyone may not agree with the decision by the Louisiana Department of Justice, the process outlined by law was followed. Now, we come to the next phase of the investigation. I support Mayor Sharon Weston Broome and Chief Murphy Paul's decision to conduct an administrative review to determine if any disciplinary action should be taken within the Baton Rouge Police Department. We owe this final review to the Baton Rouge community and the Sterling family. As we move into this next phase of the investigation, I continue to ask the people of Louisiana to pray for Alton's family, the community of North Baton Rouge where he lived, the law enforcement officials who protect us every day, and our great state."
In a statement reacting to Landry's decision, interim executive director of the ACLU of Louisiana Jane Johnson said:
"Alton Sterling was shot to death by two Baton Rouge police officers who were on top of him as he lay on the ground. He became the 122nd Black person to be killed by U.S. law enforcement in 2016. His death is yet another example of police brutality against people of color and our country's systemic failure to hold law enforcement accountable for that brutality. Justice will not be served until we end this epidemic of police violence against people of color once and for all. Moving forward, we will continue to stand in solidarity with Mr. Sterling's family and the communities most scarred by police violence. We join those urging Baton Rouge Police Chief Murphy Paul to fire the two officers involved, release all body camera and surveillance footage of the incident, and do everything in his power to end unjustified killings of civilians. Further, law enforcement agencies must respect the First Amendment rights of peaceful protesters and abide by the terms of the MOU they signed in 2016."

5 most recent personal loan reviews
This is my 3rd loan with Prosper. It was easy and quick to top up each time. I would have thought that they would have some system in place to reward repeat customers - why not reduce the APR by 5-10% for each top up/new loan. I understand that they are giving people with a poor credit history a chance and are taking a greater risk and should be able to charge a higher rate for that, but for someone who has proven themselves as able and willing to pay, and then top up their loans why not let them reap some of the benefit of proven creditworthiness.

Van Gough Citrus Cake©
Van Gough Citrus Cake©
My artist nephew Colin and I are always looking for ways to inspire each other. He reminded me that March 30th is Vincent Van Gough's birthday and thought that I should in some way pay homage to him a birthday cake.
What better way to pay tribute to Vincent Van Gough than to make a sunflower cake. The colors of these paintings inspired citrus flavors and so this recipe was born.
I used a Williams Sonoma sunflower mold. It is dark in color so it must be baked at 325 degrees. It is a deep mold so it will take 55-65 minutes. You need a long cake testing stick to get to the very bottom. Since the cake bakes for so long the pan should be greased with Crisco® or it will be too dark on the outside. Lightly flour the pans too.
The Cake
10 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
Duncan Hines® (and only Duncan Hines®) lemon cake mix
1 box instant lemon pie pudding mix
1 1/3 cups orange juice
1 teaspoon lime juice fresh or bottled
3 lightly scrambled eggs at room temperature
powdered sugar for garnish and
lemon curd or Sweet Orange marmalade for the center
semisweet chocolate morsels for the center
Cream butter. Add cake mix, pudding mix, orange juice, lime juice and eggs and blend. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed. Spoon into prepared pan.
Bake thoroughly testing for doneness frequently near the end or suggested baking time. Remove from oven and cool 25 minutes. Invert onto plate and garnish when fully cool.
Happy Birthday Vincent!

The first week's watercolour class for both beginners and improvers started with a pigment to water ratio series of blobs, ranging from pale to intense ( bright and in this case dark ), in equal increments, the object of this exercise is to know how much pigment to use in relation to water to get the desired intensity onto the paper, it's not always easy to get the ratio correct, see the painting of the dog below, the colours in this painting are intense ( bright )
The colours in this painting below are mostly pale neutral, and would require less pigment on the brush.
The first video is a demonstration of pigment to water ratio blobs.
Remember, the sequence goes like this, water pigment palette paper, then pigment palette paper, and always mix your pigment in a small area and separately in the palette each time, this is to avoid picking up more water from a previous mix, and always mix your colours in a small area so you are not depositing more pigment on the palette than necessary. If your pigment are fresh from the tube they will be wet, so you must add tiny amounts to build up the intensity ( brightness gradually with each blob, if you have a blob that has gone too dark / intense too quickly, then clean your brush out, dry it a little on some kitchen roll, and manoeuvre your brush over the blob to lift out the excess pigment and start again.
The next exercise was to paint a colour wheel,
The value of painting a colour wheel is firstly to consolidate what you know about pigment to water ratio, as I want you to paint all the 12 segments at medium intensity, and practice your application to avoid streaks, ( see a previous video on wash application ) but also this will teach you about colour mixing, so you can understand what colours are intense ( bright ) and what colours are neutral ( dull )see above. This colour wheel was designed by artists to help you understand which colours look good together, have another look at the painting of the dog, these colours are pleasing to the eye because they have been chosen carefully, the colour wheel can help you to achieve this, but again, more on that later.
So, start by drawing a circle and dividing into 12 segments, this is made easier if you draw a cross through the centre, and draw a V shape inside each quarter, so that you have 3 segments in each quarter, please write the terminology next to each segment, where it says primary, secondary and tertiary, primary colours are unmixed with other colours, so we will use cadmium red, cadmium yellow, and ultramarine blue, start by painting in primary red, remember pigment palette paper, so we can see how intense the colour is in the palette before applying to the paper, clean your brush out and paint in your primary yellow, don't wash this yellow off your brush, but use it to pick up some of the red pigment in your palette to create an orange in the secondary segment, you are aiming at creating an orange that looks exactly half way between the red and the yellow, don't clean your brush out, use the orange on your brush to paint in the tertiary sections next to the red and yellow, you are aiming at creating a red orange, and a yellow orange, again, try to make them look half way between their neighbours, do this by eye on your painting, and don't try to duplicate the colours on the image below.
Repeat this exercise creating greens and violets, however, you will find that using a combination of cadmium red and ultramarine will result in burgundy rather than the violet colours you see below.
( if you want violets you must use a crimson, or pink pigment instead of Cad red )
to see a video demonstration of how to paint a colour wheel, click on this link
The exercise below is what I call a percentage mixing exercise, that is, how much to push the paint around on the paper, the object of this exercise is to know when to stop painting in order to preserve the amount of intensity you want in your watercolour, note the painting below is very neutral ( dull ) as opposed to the dog painting, the colours are just as beautiful, but not as intense ( bright ) this is not because the artist used only dull colours such as brown or grey, it is because the colours were pushed around on the paper more than in the dog painting, and like the tertiary colours on your colour wheel.
Try the exercise in the video below, put a clear wash down first in 1 column, using lots of water, and apply red yellow and blue in the way you see demonstrated, making sure to start you application so each colour is not overlapped by another colour, in the 1st column allow your pigments to mix themselves by gravity only, your board should be tipped at an angle so the pigment and water can run down the page.
The 2nd and 3rd column is started in the same way but in the 2nd you are going to push the pigments together a little resulting in more semi neutrals than on the 1st column, the 3rd column is pushed together 100% resulting in no visible intense colours, however you should have a more interesting neutral than if you had painted a column using only brown paint.
Please practice colour mixing at home, and also use plenty of water, see a previous post on painting a wash on how much water to use.
