Venta Rapid: Europe’s Widest Waterfalls

Venta Rapid: Europe’s Widest Waterfalls

Travel

At just 2 meters tall, the Venta Rapid, or Ventas Rumba in Latvian, is one of the smallest waterfalls in the world. But its low height is compensated by its impressive width. At its widest, which happens during spring floods, Ventas Rumba is up to 270 meters wide making it the widest waterfall in Europe. Even during summer, when there is less water, the falls are about 250 meters wide.
The Venta Rapid flows over a layer of Devonian dolostone. Below it is a more fragile dolostone that has been slowly eroding away undercutting the harder layer on top creating overhangs, which fall down from time to time. As a result, the waterfall is slowly receding and as the stream in the central part is more powerful, the middle part has receded further upstream than the sides of waterfall.

Moleskine Art Examples To Inspire Your Artistry

Moleskine Art Examples To Inspire Your Artistry

They say only a poor artist blames the kind of raw materials or supplies that he or she uses for the less than ideal results. That being said, you have to also look at the way good quality supplies can make all the difference to the way an artist’s work looks. Take for instance, the art of cooking, while a good cook can convert mediocre supplies into delicious food, the use of quality supplies will make the end results even better. The same idea or concept can be applied to those artists who sketch and the kind of notebook or portfolio they use to store them. For example, some artists swear by moleskines and the way they make the art they produce look while others seem to not care so much. In this article, we will look at what are moleskines and why it is essential for artists to have one as well as some examples of moleskine art to inspire you.

Beautiful Illustrations Of Paper Toy Art

Beautiful Illustrations Of Paper Toy Art

Art

When it comes to art and your way of introducing the young ones at home to this world (unless they are naturally drawn to it) it is always better to make things interesting and entertaining for them. This method works much better than forcibly asking them to read up about or look up works of art. One of the simplest way to ensure that this happens is to take up simple but engaging projects like paper toy art, which is something that they will love to do. This could also be one of the ways to draw them out of the online world in which they seem to be increasingly drawn to. Though it would be impossible and indeed foolish to wean them away completely from the online world, it is equally important for kids to have manual dexterity and an inclination to indulge in such activities. That is, you should yourself even as a grown up take part in projects like creating attractive ornaments from paper so that this craft form does not die a premature death. Another way to ensure that your whole family has some hands on exposure to arts and crafts is to work at preparing pretty paper animals for learning and decoration purposes.

I Draw Dragons To Destroy The Stereotypes About Them

I Draw Dragons To Destroy The Stereotypes About Them

Art

As a kid of the 80's, dragons have always inspired me. Whether it was through movies, video games or dungeons, and dragons, these mythical beasts had an influence on my imagination. With this series of drawings, I wanted to show a different side of the animal.

Often dragons are depicted as villainous, treasure hoarding monsters but I wanted to break past the stereotypes and delve into the different personalities of each character. As far as the styling of the drawings themselves, I wanted to go for an old fashioned look of classic illustration, maybe even having a feel that they were sketched from life in some explorer's journal.
