Finger nails can play a big role in your overall look. Before the day of the party, make sure you clean up your fingernails. This includes trimming your nails and removing old nail polish. If you are wearing shoes that show your toes, be sure to clean up your toenails as well. Girls, try finding a pretty nail polish shade that compliments the outfit you will be wearing. If you have not had a recent haircut, at least in the past six weeks, be sure to make an appointment so you can trim off any split ends or shape up your current style. If you dye your hair make sure you touch up your roots. Planning your transportation will prevent any unnecessary stress when getting ready for your party. If possible, try carpooling with a friend who is also going. See how far away the party is so you can leave yourself plenty of time to arrive. If you are wearing a more detailed hairstyle with products, take a car to protect your hair. Depending on where the party is can help you decide to walk, ride a bike, take public transportation, or drive. Find out if there is anything already happening in your schedule the day of the party that you need to arrange for. You may also want to write down the date of the party to prevent the conflict of double-booking yourself. If needed, plan for a babysitter in advance.

Q: What types of painting and art are you hoping to create? Do you need a lot of time to work on a single project, or do you hope to fully finish pieces in a single sitting? Do you have a spacious work area that is well ventilated, or a small area that might cause fumes to build up? How much money do you hope to spend on supplies? These are all important things to consider before committing to a type of paint. . Watercolors come in cases or small tubes of pigment. When used alone, they are thick and opaque, and do not cover much area. When used in combination with water, they will thin out and become transparent. Watercolors are used on specific paper made for use with watercolor; any old piece of paper will not necessarily work very well. These paints don't allow thick layers of color, but give the beautiful effect of thin, translucent layers of color. Watercolor paint sets begin for as little as $20 and can range to prices far above $100. For a quality beginners set of paint, expect to pay between $50-$80 to start. Because watercolor can only be done on special paper that won't wrinkle and curl when it comes into contact with water, there are limited options for things to use as a "blank canvas," unlike acrylic and oil paints. . Acrylic paints are another water-based paint option with a fast drying time and low fumes. These are a great choice for anyone interested in whipping up a completed painting in a single day. Thick layers of paint can be stacked up for a beautiful 3D effect, and because they are water soluble they can be wiped off surfaces and washed out of textiles. The downside is that because they dry so quickly, blending and wet-on-wet painting techniques can be difficult. The application style and overall appearance of acrylic paints is most similar to oil paints. Acrylic paints are typically less expensive than oil paints, and require many less additives. They are a bit more intuitive in terms of layering and technique than watercolor paints, though. Acrylic paints are much less toxic than oil paints, as they don't give off fumes or require heavy ventilation. If you are working in a small space or have pets and children around, acrylic paint is a safer option than oil. . Arguably the most advanced option of the three painting mediums, oil paints are slow-drying and thick, they offer dozens of specialized techniques. These take about three months to dry completely, making them the best option for someone who needs or wants a lot of time to work on a painting to completion. On the downside, they are slightly toxic and require a great deal of ventilation when being used. Oil paints are the most expensive option of the three paint mediums, and require several additional supplies including mineral spirits and gels. Oil paints have the richest color of the three paint mediums, and will dry true to the mixed color. When you've decided on which type of paint you want to use, you will have to select a brand to go along with it. As a beginning painter, it is tempting to want to purchase the cheapest available brand. However, you will save yourself time and money (in the long run) by purchasing quality supplies. There are higher levels of pigment in good quality paint, meaning that a single stroke is all that is required while 2-3 may be needed to get a solid coat of paint with a cheap paint. You'll end up using a cheap tube of paint much faster (and with much more frustration) than a more expensive tube of paint. A craft store called Hobby Lobby has art supplies for budding painters. Things from large and small canvas to painting kits, this store is full of helpful materials.
A: Consider your goal. Try watercolor paint Think about using acrylic paints Consider using oil paints Get quality paints.

Problem: Article: Pulling on the reins or bracing for too long against the horse may cause the horse to lean against your hands, rush off, or become unresponsive to your aids. If your half-halt was unsuccessful, try again in another stride, this time with a little more emphasis. Remember, most of the half-halt signal comes from the seat and leg aids. You may find you don't need to do anything to the reins at all. If you do, rather than tugging on them, squeeze them gently as though squeezing a sponge. Some horses need a half halt in the first strides of their cantor or trot in order to establish the rider's control over the pace. If you wait too long for the half-halt, the horse may have gathered too much momentum to execute it. It's important that you have a precise concept of the half-halt signal and what each aid is telling the horse. Some say the half-halt is like talking to the horse, but you must know what you want to say. In short, "ho and go."
Summary:
Do not let the half-halt last longer than one stride. Do not overdo the reins. Do not wait too long for the half-halt. Communicate clearly to the horse with your aids.
