I have been making textured art with joint compound/PVA glue. The texture I am doing is thin, not thick, so that's why I'm not using modeling paste.

Anyway, I was wondering how to prime with gesso beforehand.

How many coats?

How long to wait in between coats?

I've also seen people spray the back of the canvas with water, not sure if I should do that either.

Thanks!

My psychiatrist just prescribed me Wellbutrin for my ADHD symptoms.

I was previously on Vyvanse but it was giving me GI issues.

My main ADHD struggles are focus, motivation, and energy.

Has anyone tried Wellbutrin for ADHD, and does it help with focus, motivation, and energy?

The vyvanse did a great job at making me feel motivated, focused, and gave me a boost of energy, but I just hated the GI issues.

Any input would be much appreciated

I saw someone say they recommend using a tinted primer before painting with a dark color. I am hoping to only use 2 coats of dark paint.

I was wondering if it is necessary to do this or not. Thanks!

I'm experiencing a symptom on Vyvanse and going to switch to Strattera. I'm hoping I don't feel this symptom on strattera. The symptom is feeling "short bursts" of being in a bad mood.

After taking Vyvanse, it's like my brain actively tries to think of negative things or forces me to be in a bad mood, but it is short lived. I have to actively tell myself "I'm not actually in a bad mood. I'm having a good day and in a good mood now."

When I'm in a good mood I will randomly think of things that stress me out which will make me be in a bad mood.

Or I will be in a good mood and just randomly get these short bursts of a bad mood, like a few seconds or a minute.

Does anyone feel this on Strattera, or have felt like this on other ADHD meds?

Before selling my canvases/shipping them online, I want to start with selling them locally.

Besides Facebook marketplace, are there any apps to sell art locally?

My hesitation with marketplace is that it won't be easy to list at higher prices.

Any suggestions?

I've been on Vyvanse for about 3 months and I both like/dislike how I feel on it.

I love how it gives me a boost of energy and motivation/focus that lasts the first half of the day. Before Vyvanse, I would have zero energy, motivation, and my focus was non existent.

But one thing I've noticed is that it gives me these brief feelings of being in a bad mood. Or like if I think of something like chores, it makes me in a really bad mood, but briefly/often.

I also dont think I react well to stimulants because I've been having diarrhea daily after I take it.

I've been thinking of switching to Strattera. I'm hoping it will still give me the motivation, energy, and focus but without the negative side effects.

What has it been like for you in terms of motivation, energy, and focus?

I make textured canvases and eventually want to make a website to sell them.

I'm confused how artists sell more than one of the same canvas.

For example, on a website there is a textured canvas (not a print), and there are options to buy more than one.

How does the artist recreate the same canvas almost exactly?

My canvases are abstract so I think it would be difficult to do that.

Another question I have is how do you know/remember how to create exact color matches?

Let's say I paint a dark red canvas and want to create another one of the same color. Is there a process to this?

Thanks for any advice!

Hey everyone, looking for insights ahead of an upcoming vet appointment for my 8-year-old female cat. She is spayed.

​Background & Recent Changes:

​6 months ago: Introduced a new male cat. Stressful introduction, but they tolerate each other now.

​2 months ago: Moved into a new townhouse.

​4 weeks ago: Introduced a new automatic/electric litter box. She was terrified of it, so we brought her original litter box back.

​Current Box Setup: Male cat uses the electric box, female uses the old box. They are on opposite sides of the same room.

​The Issues:

​Inappropriate Elimination: She is pooping/peeing outside her box—specifically behind the electric box and in a hidden opening under the staircase near the litter boxes. We've also found urine in random places around the house.

​Stool Changes: Lately her stool is a mix of hard and mushy. Yesterday she had poop stuck to her fur/rear.

​Blood: Today I cleaned up a fresh mushy stool under the stairs and noticed a little bit of blood. I’ve previously noticed tiny drops of blood near the litter box area.

​My Questions:

​Could this be stress-induced, a medical issue, or both?

​What tests should I expect the vet to run?

​Should I collect a fresh stool sample to bring with me?

​I'm taking her in to be safe, but any input or advice on how to handle the litter box setup or prepare for the vet would be greatly appreciated!

I live near a wealthy area and am trying to think of business ideas that wealthy people would pay for.

One idea I had is to provide some sort of relaxing service when they get home from work, if they work long hours or a stressful job.

The idea I had was to provide a weekly/biweekly "set up" for them: luxury bath items ready for them to use, like epsom salt, bubble bath, etc. Towel in a towel warmer.

Have a calming drink chilled for them, maybe a chilled, scented towel.

Kind of like a luxury resort service but at home.

What do you think? Do you have any other suggestions?

Or if you have any other ideas, I would appreciate it!

I love the vibe of dark and moody videos of hotels, restaurants, etc.

Are these videos usually shot on IPhone then edited?

Or do people use a specific type of camera?

I have had a few business ideas that I've used Gemini and Chat GPT for in the past.

Most of the time, the responses make it seem like you came up with the best business idea in the world, and will make you feel hopeful, even if it may be a bad business idea.

I made a gem saying that "you are a small business expert, you are blunt and will not sugarcoat things. You will tell me if any business idea will work or not".

Most of the ideas I've given it so far-it has knocked down, saying the idea will never work, but then providing potential alternative ideas.

Do you think that it is being truthful that my ideas wont be successful, or is it because I told it to be "blunt" and to not sugarcoat, that it is being unreasonably harsh?

I feel like there is no in between. An idea will either be the best or the worst.

My fiance and I are having a 12 person wedding and want to get married on Oahu.

We dont want a traditional ceremony with a venue, DJ, banquet food or anything like that.

I'm picturing the wedding at a nice location then going out to dinner afterwards, more of a relaxed vibe.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

My sister and I are interested in learning how to make professional short form videos, like Instagram reels, and learning how to properly edit them. But we would not be the ones to post them/manage the social media.

At first, we were thinking of doing reels for Airbnbs, but it seems too complicated, especially with planning for when the cleaners/guests won't be there.

I do like the types of reels that feel luxurious, like luxury house reels, and the "aspirational POV" hospitality videos, but I'm open to other suggestions. We live in an area that is has a lot of wealthy people.

Does anyone have any ideas for who we could make these reels for?
