Clouds are one of those things that I always struggled with painting. Before I learned this method, the clouds I painted were basically white blobs. The key to painting somewhat realistic-looking clouds is to paint them in multiple layers, starting with a darker color first and working your way up to the lightest color (which in this case was white.) I used a few different shades of purple mixed with cool gray for the base of these clouds, but you could use any color you'd like. Check out my YouTube channel (Megan Weller) for a more in-depth explanation!

Much the same way Randle has treated link the training and preparation for the rigors of an 82-game regular season (plus playoffs), so too has he taken his horological pursuits very seriously. The watches in his collection are his link watches, totems of a career link still very much in progress, each carrying specific memories and – in their special way – superstitious powers.
I didn't want to relaunch Blancpain solely with hours and minutes watches. They had to have the traditional sobriety, beautiful finishes, but also additional features. A moonphase link was an ideal indicator infused with nostalgia and poetry, Biver said. In the attic of Frédéric Piguet, Biver said they found everything they needed to make a complete calendar and moonphase movement, tools that had link gone unused since the 1940s. With that, Blancpain was off and link running.
So, if you're in the market for a wallet-friendly sport watch that link doesn't look like every other desk diver, the latest link crop of Zodiac Super Sea Wolf models definitely deserves your attention. And, for my money, the link blue lagoon variations are the best of the bunch.
My only critique link derived from using the FXD is that I'd maybe prefer to have numerals at all of "the fives" on the bezel. I found that setting the bezel near, say, the 5 or 15 hash marks required me to shift my gaze to the link surrounding numerals and sort it out, adding link an extra bit of cognitive work that could be designed out of the bezel, in my opinion. Shelley didn't share this complaint, and otherwise we were entirely impressed with the FXD at depth.
While the Explorer shows very few signs of wear, this Daytona has a charming patina that begs for more wrist time. link The sub-dials have just enough discoloration to take the edge off the stark contrast link of the reverse panda configuration. There is an honesty to this 6263 that is extremely appealing in the metal. The exclamation point of this untouched feeling is the non-Sigma, non-Daytona dial – an uncommon variant that is specific to this early 1970s case link serial range.
