Lessons on How to Draw by Hokusai via Kottke [Shared]

In 1812, Japanese woodblock print artist Katsushika Hokusai, who would later become famous for his iconic Great Wave off Kanagawa prints, published a three-volume series called Quick Lessons in Simplified Drawing. All three volumes are available online: one, two, three. Even if you’re not in the market for drawing lessons, the pages are wonderful to flip through.

The image shows an open book with two pages filled with detailed black and white sketches. The left page features two drawings of animals, possibly dogs, with geometric shapes and lines used to outline their forms. The top drawing shows a dog with a black and white coat, sitting with a circular and oval shape around it. Below, another dog is depicted with a similar geometric approach, including a diamond shape. Japanese text is present next to each drawing. The right page contains a drawing of a mouse among grapes, with geometric shapes and lines used to depict the mouse and the grapes. The mouse is positioned on a vine with large leaves, and the grapes are clustered around it. The page also includes a hexagon and other geometric shapes, along with Japanese text. The paper appears aged, with a yellowish tint, suggesting it is an old document. Provided by @altbot, generated privately and locally using Ovis2-8B

Important lessons:

1. NEED TO HAVE PLIERS to pull the nail/whatever that is in your tire. NO PLIERS? NO FIX. (no pliers are in the kit)

2. It's a LOT easier if there is some kind of lubricant available to insert the plug. This kit doesn't include lubricant, but the folks who had the flat's brother (who came to help, and knew how to use the kit) says it's a lot easier with lubricant to get the plug into the tire. (Edit: apparently the kits typically come with rubber cement as lubricant)

As demand for swim lessons increases in Metro Vancouver, some turn to private pools
Some parents in Metro Vancouver say they are turning to private swimming instructors amid a growing demand for lessons at public pools this spring — with one municipality looking to fill the gap by offering swim lessons through schools.

750 days in a row of Duolingo. As I bounce between Spanish and French with a smattering of Portuguese, irish and the occasional music, it’s giving me a good foundation. Immersion is, of course, always the best, but one step at a time.
And my students are good at helping me add specific sewing related vocabulary if they know it, otherwise we use the English term. #language #lessons
