Painting Challenge: Emojis

September 6, 2024 / Diann Zimmerman

Emojis allow people to express emotions and ideas visually in a way that text alone sometimes cannot convey.

Its history traces back to the late 1990s.  The first set of emojis was created by Shigetaku Kurita in 1999 while he was working for NTT DoCoMo, a Japanese telecommunications company.    In 2010, emojis were standardized by the Unicode Consortium, making them accessible across different platforms and devices.

What is the prize?   

Our sponsor this week is St. Louis Art Supply.   One random winner will receive: Tonic Watercolors set which includes extra-large porcelain pans of specially selected mixing colors, six different primary colors, two from each color family, as evenly spaced on the color wheel as possible. This “split-primary” arrangement includes warm and cool colors from each primary family (red, yellow, and blue.) It’s a modern mixing system that allows for much more intense color than traditional three-primary mixing.
The colors included are Quinacridone Magenta (cool red), Federal Red (warm red), Signal Yellow (warm yellow), Permanent Yellow (cool yellow), Phthalo Cyan (cool blue), and Ultramarine (warm blue.) Each Porcelain Pan contains 20 grams of dry paint — that’s seven times as much as a standard half pan of watercolor.
All Tonic colors are lightfast, with ratings of 7 or 8 on the eight-point Blue Wool Scale.  Tonic watercolors contain no animal-derived products.
St. Louis Art Supply has art supplies that are hard to find, and they are always adding new goodies!

I took the photo with a standard half-pan so you can see how large these dishes are!
