Hi, I'm the same person who sent the question about the biomass fuel & habitat. This is a completely unrelated question.
Would you like one of your favorite orchids to "star" in a painting video? I am making how-to-paint art videos with live orchids as the models and traditional watercolor as the medium. I have two done already, and I just started doing this 2 weeks ago. The first one was real rough because I was just learning the digital-video process, but the second one ran a lot more smoothly. I have half of it uploaded in 3-to-5-minute segments in my blog: http://windowsillorchids.blogspot.com I painted it this weekend in two sessions: a half-hour on Saturday and 3/4 hour on Sunday. The clips are almost totally real-time. I want each of my paintings to be of an identifiable orchid. I will happily use an orchid you send me as the model and include a credit to your business or site if you wish, or any other form of acknowledgement that you may prefer. I also would like to get to keep the orchid :) and you get to keep the original watercolor. This would be a good opportunity for orchid breeders to have one featured in my videos on Google, Youtube, and elsewhere, because these painting-hobby videos tend to build a following over time, if what I have seen of other artists is typical. I am a novice grower, so I think if you send me a fairly "novice" level plant in budding spike, I should be able to produce a painting video very soon after the first blossom or two opens. This is my plan to keep from spending ALL my money on orchids.... (the addiction is serious!) _______________________________________________ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) [email protected] http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com
