![]() ![]() This approach gives her sharp edges for the mountains and hills because the paint stays put and doesn’t spread. This means she does not moisten the paper first but, applies the paint directly to the dry surface. The artist begins the middle ground of the painting by using a wet-on-dry process. You can do this by using an almost dry brush and delicately touching the tip to the paper to lift the paint from the surface onto the brush. To finish the sky, use an approach called “lifting” to take some paint away and add a white crescent moon. This adds atmospheric perspective because the color of the sky is always lightest along the horizon and darkens as it goes farther and farther into outer space. She continues to darken the top of the sky with the Ultramarine Blue, adding touches of Indigo. This adds character for clouds that help set the mood of a night sky. The artist ends at the horizon line with a touch of the Cerulean Blue before beginning to add dabbs of Violet, Lilac, and Indigo. As the colors meld together to create various shades in blues, violets, reds, and oranges, you begin to get the impression of a sunset. Start with the Ultramarine Blue at the very top and work down the page add a row of Cobalt Blue, then Rose, then Gamboge. To get this effect, rows of paint are applied with a large round paintbrush with each new row mixing with the last. This technique is used to create the sky because it looks soft and is transparent enough to make the gradient hues of a real sky. Notice that once a color is applied, it begins to spread across the paper through the water. This is the foundation of a technique known as wet-on-wet. Let’s BeginĪs you can see in the video, you will begin with the sky by washing the area above the horizon line with plain water. To loosen the paint for easier use, add a drop of water to each color. Watercolor comes out of the tube in a thick paste. This arrangement makes it easier to distinguish each color from the others as well as gives you plenty of room for mixing. She keeps all her cool colors (blues) together in a row, all her warm colors (purples and reds) in a row, the light neutral (Gamboge yellow) by itself, dark neutrals (Indigo and Noir) off to the side. Note how the artist in the video squeezes the paint in small amounts, about the size of a pea. ![]() It’s not necessary to put large amounts of paint on the palette. TIP: Use paper that is 90lb (200gsm) or heavier to make sure there is no warping or buckling when it gets wet. After you’re done, the tape comes off easily without tearing the paper, leaving a nice clean finished edge. This also help keeps it from warping so it stays nice and flat for framing. This removable tape adheres the paper to a sturdy service to keep it from moving. Expert Watercolor Pads 9x12” 32 Sheets - Set of 2īefore the artist in the video began her watercolor landscape painting, she used artist tape along the sides of her paper.

The top of the seat tube slots inside the end of the top tube and together acts as a seatpost clamp, secured by two bolts. There are two areas where the Break-Away splits: The top of the seat tube, and at the bottom of the down tube just in front of the bottom bracket. ![]() The Break-Away joints and cable splitters ![]() As far as dismantling goes, the Ritchey Break-Away approach is a simple and clean design that requires just a set of hex keys with sizes you probably already have – 4mm and 5mm. Either way, to get a bike to pack down to a certain size, disassembly is required, even for 20-inch folding bikes. Other notable bikes that take the frame disassembly approach include any of the Moulton models, and any bike with S&S couplers. The Ritchey Break-Away is more of a “dismantle and pack” rather than a “fold and pack” like the Birdy, Brompton, Tyrell or Change Bike. It’s obviously not going to be a sprinter or lightweight climber by any means, but as a cyclocross, gravel or touring bike that can take a beating and roll at a consistently brisk pace with comfort that only good steel provides, that’s where the Ritchey really shines. Hang on, reasonably lightweight with a steel frame? Yes, it is possible and not an oxymoron at all! With a selection of decent components, the overall weight for a steel cross build can be had for under 9kg (19.8lbs) which is quite respectable. Using a larger tire at lower pressures results in improved comfort, and also better handling when you find yourself rolling over rough surfaces. Tires are the most important part of your bicycle as it is the only contact point to the road, and also the key to comfort. There have been plenty of times where we’ll come across gravel paths, dirt roads and all kinds of rough stuff during our travels where we thought, “Wouldn’t it be nice if we had wheels to ride through that singletrack shortcut over there.” With the Ritchey Break-Away Steel Cross, we certainly can! Thanks to its bridgeless chainstays, there’s enough clearance in the frame to fit 40mm tires depending on what rims you use. 700c wheels with clearance for larger tires up to 40mm The only bike that could tick the compact bike luggage checkbox would be the Brompton, but we needed a bike with much larger wheels and tires that could glide through gravel paths easily – you never know what kind of roads, or “groads” you’ll come across when traveling. As far as full-size bikes go, the Ritchey Break-Away wins the award for feats of limited space! We even managed to load three Ritchey suitcases into the trunk of a Japanese taxi cab. It splits in half and fits into its own travel case – definitely an all-road companion you can take with you anywhere! Compact travel luggage sizeĪfter seeing the size of Ritchey’s travel case, we knew that this was the perfect size for travel! Measuring at 8.5 inches deep, 26.5 inches tall, and 31 inches wide (21.6cm x 67.3cm x 78.7cm), – the travel case is much more compact than even the Birdy or Reach when packed for air travel. So where does that leave us?Īfter going back to the drawing board to evaluate our choices for a highly versatile (and packable) all-road bike for traveling, we came across the Ritchey Break-Away Cross after doing lots of research based on our air travel experiences. And on the other hand, non-folding full-sized bikes will never be able to reach a compact luggage size and will be always be cumbersome to handle. Bikes with folding mechanisms will be inherently heavier due to all the additional mechanical parts. ![]() Size and weight are the two obvious factors that can make handling bulky luggage difficult. Trying to transport bulky bike luggage between the airport and into cars, vans and trains is challenging to say the least. In general, we did not have any major problems with air travel, except perhaps the size of the bike luggage itself when we’re trying to get to an airport or to any location after that. To date, we have traveled with a variety of bikes, from smaller-wheeled folding bikes such as the Birdy and Reach, to full-sized ones such as the Change Bike. The Ritchey Break-Away Cross is a full-size cyclocross steel rig with a clever trick up its sleeve – it can be split in half and fits into a travel case that is amazingly compact for what it is, with 700c wheels and everything else! ![]() Select the Camera icon to open a window for capturing your screen.To open the Xbox Game Bar, press Windows+G or search for it directly in the Start menu search box. ![]() It also has a widget for capturing and recording your screen: The Game Bar has several features specifically related to gaming, like access to game-specific widgets and the ability to chat with friends while playing Xbox games.

This causes Te Fiti to disintegrate, and Maui is attacked by Te Kā, a volcanic demon. Maui, the trickster, shape-shifting Demigod of the wind and sea and master of wayfinding, steals the heart to give humanity the power of creation. On the Polynesian island of Motunui, the inhabitants worship the goddess of nature, Te Fiti (a living island who brought life to the ocean long ago using a pounamu stone as her heart and the source of her power). A live-action remake is scheduled for release in 2025 with Johnson reprising his role, while a spin-off series is scheduled to premiere on Disney+. At the 89th Academy Awards, the film received two nominations for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song (" How Far I'll Go"). Along with Zootopia, it marked the first time since 2002 that Walt Disney Animation Studios released two feature films in the same year, after Lilo & Stitch and Treasure Planet. The film went on to gross over $682 million worldwide. The film received positive reviews from critics, who particularly praised its animation, music, and vocal performances. Moana premiered during the AFI Fest at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles on November 14, 2016, and was released theatrically in the United States on November 23. The plot is original, but takes inspiration from Polynesian myths. When a blight strikes her island, Moana sets sail in search of Maui, a legendary demigod, in the hope of returning the relic to Te Fiti and saving her people. ![]() Set in ancient Polynesia, the film tells the story of Moana, the strong-willed daughter of a chief of a coastal village, who is chosen by the ocean itself to reunite a mystical relic with the goddess Te Fiti. ![]() It features original songs written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, Opetaia Foa'i, and Mark Mancina, and an orchestral score also composed by Mancina.

The 56th Disney animated feature film, it was directed by John Musker and Ron Clements, co-directed by Chris Williams and Don Hall, and produced by Osnat Shurer, from a screenplay written by Jared Bush, and a story by Clements, Musker, Williams, Hall, Pamela Ribon, and the writing team of Aaron and Jordan Kandell.
