Hey everybody, I'm just positioning the camera, so give me a minute. That's better, I think. Yeah, that's better. Hey guys, good morning. I'm just getting set up for those of you who are here to work on some flowers this morning. And let's see if I'm gonna be right way on the iPad. Of course not, I'm sideways. Holy cow. Well, the important thing is that I can see guys' comment. No, it's gonna flip sideways. So, before we get started, I wanted to show you guys this is, I posted on social media about this last night. This is the mini watercolor kit I made up. Hey, from England. Oh, that's on my bucket list to go visit England. Hello, Lisa. So this is the mini journal that I made. And the video is all edited and I'm gonna be uploading it to YouTube later today on how I did this. The idea for this journal is not mine. There's a YouTube watercolor artist, Kathy Johnson. And I believe she also teaches online and has some DVDs and things too. And this little journal is her idea. Although she did it big. It's my idea to do it so small. I do think that at some point I'm gonna like E6000 a button on here or something so I can just wrap these around the button. I know, isn't the mini book cute? It's made with watercolor paper. It's really teeny so you can just fit it in your handbag.  I made this to go with what's in here and then thought about it last night because I was up late last night editing video. And I thought about it and realized that this is cute but you don't need to have this to have a mini travel watercolor kit. So everything you need is in here. And I go over most of this kit in the video that's gonna load later but I made a few changes. I thought we would talk about first this morning. So the first thing is I added a rubber band to just hold everything closed because I have a habit of overstuffing my travel kits whether they're in a bag or a little suitcase or in this box. So my little suitcase has a fabric belly band on it. This box is gonna have this rubber band on it to keep it closed. Yeah, there'll be a video on YouTube later, Ned Beads for how to make the little journal and it and how to put this kit together. The only differences I made to the kit are that I added a rubber band to it this morning. And I put a few watercolor ATC cards in here this morning. That's, oh, and a pipette. Otherwise, the basics of how you do this are in the video. So I have a few pieces of watercolor paper cut to ATC card size. Well, one's a little bit smaller, but that's okay. I have a piece of paper tallying, a pipette, one of the Koi small size water brushes. Koi has two of these water brushes. One has a longer handle than the other. For this kit, you want a small one. And this is the medium brush nib because I think that's angel. I didn't do an angel. I thought the medium tip is the one I use the most. A little pencil. And then this little Altoids Smalls tin. If you have peer lists, you could do peer lists, but I took an Altoids Smalls tin and I made a little miniature six color watercolor palette. No worries, Debbie. I did see a couple of really great mixed media and watercolor angels this morning posted to social media. And I think one of them might have been to Periscope, but I don't remember who they were. So anyway, this whole thing closes in this box, which is from when I purchased some binder clips at Target, they come in these plastic boxes. And of course I save them because I'm a mixed media artist and we save junk. Okay, and then like this. So see, and then the whole thing like this, you could just carry, it's small, you could put this in your handbag.  This is little and it would fit anywhere. So it's an idea and it would make a cute Christmas gift. So the video is gonna load later today. I know if I had a friend that made, I have one now, so I don't need anybody to make me one. But if I had a friend who made me one of these, I'd be so overjoyed. It'd be the best gift, just FYI. All right. So first I thought we would try the Poinsettia because I think it's gonna be, oh, search for my name. The same as here on Periscope, Gina B. Arons. And you'll find me on YouTube, Google+, Facebook. You'll find my website. If you Google my name, you'll find me everywhere. You'll find a couple of other things too that aren't me, but most, you'll find a lot of me. So I thought we would do the Poinsettia first because I thought, and I was up late last night. A, sorry, Gina B. And then Arons is spelled A-H-R-E-N-S.   Yes, that's it. If you Google my name, Gina B. Arons, you're gonna find me everywhere. That's it exactly. I have a GinaB.Arons.com. If you go there, the links to everything are over there. Okay, so we're gonna start with the Poinsettia because like I said, I think it might be easier and I find, yes, Google that. I find roses challenging and I don't always like the way my roses turn out. So we're gonna do the Poinsettia first. And normally I don't know that I would do a sketch first but because this is a tutorial, we're gonna do the sketch first. So this is just a number two pencil. First the Poinsettia, so number two pencil and I have an inspiration photo that's off camera that I printed from Pinterest, a photo of some Poinsettia plants. There's lots of inspiration photos out there you can get if you just go to Pinterest or go to Yahoo and type in Poinsettia picture. There are a lot of stuff that's gonna come up. You can go to paint my photo. So I'm going to actually start with a flower that's kind of off the edge of the page here. Now Poinsettia flower petals are kind of a pointed oval shape. They're not, I saw one somebody did recently and the Poinsettia was beautiful but the shape of the petals was more like holly where they were all jagged. You know, but we're our own worst critics. So your leaves don't have to be the same but you kind of want this like pointed ovally shape. And then in the center you're gonna have all the little sort of, I don't know what there are, seed heads or berries or, I'm sure there's a technical name for them but I don't know what it is. So just sketch some little, you know, roundish sort of suggestions of shapes. Yeah, I've done a few roses and sometimes they turn out great and other times they don't. I seem to do a better job with the roses in watercolor than I do in acrylic paint. My acrylic roses all tend to come out looking like two lips. So I don't know, I don't know what the deal is with that. They look like rose color two lips. Yeah, suggest your shapes exactly. And I know this and I teach that. So it's funny that I find roses challenging and you can do, you know, more than one Poinsettia on your page of course or you can just do one.  Now because this watercolor journal is a journal of studies and experiments, thank you, you're right. I need to remind myself to do that. I'm okay with lots of sketchy pencil lines and not erasing anything. If you were doing this for a gift, you might want to do the sketching in watercolor pencils. And that way when you're painting the lines disappear. And I'm just, you know, I'm following some of the shapes I'm seeing in my inspiration photo, layering my petals on top of each other, giving myself some guidelines to paint. Yeah, I know it kind of looks like a hot mess right now because you have lots of lines. But what I'm gonna be doing is coming back in to these petals that are on top and I'm gonna be erasing a few of those extra lines that would otherwise kind of confuse me. Does that make more sense? Lost where it was. If you guys have any questions about painting flowers or anything, while I'm doing the sketching part, let me know. There's a really great watercolor artist out there. Actually, she and her husband, both are great watercolor artists. And he does really fabulous watercolor landscapes and she does a lot of suggestive florals and portraits, which I just love. And she's on the same lines of Jean Haynes, Janet and Steve Rogers. They have some DVDs over at, I think, Chief Joe's. I can't move my book up anymore. But you're seeing most of it on the camera, okay? So that's the basics of our flower. I do think that I wanna put, it looks like there's a blank spot right here. So I think I wanna put. Now, all of the leaves on a poinsettia are the same shape. And I think as they mature, they turn red from green to red. I'm not exactly sure because I'm not a botanist or anything like that, but I have to decide here. Let's see which one's in front. So when you're painting your flower, you need to decide which of these are gonna end up being the green ones and what you're gonna be the red ones. And I'm looking at my picture and the green ones have more of a little jaggedy edge than the red ones are more pointed. Thank you for the hearts, I appreciate that. And I'm just doing light pencil lines. You don't need to dig any holes to china with your pencil. Yep, exactly, use watercolor pencils. I said that already. If you don't, you know, this is a study. So in this book, I'm not so worried about it. But if you want the lines to disappear, then use watercolor pencil. If you want to accent the drawing before you even get started or after, you can take a ink pen, something that is waterproof when it dries. This is a fountain pen. I wouldn't call it making a living, maybe trying to pay for my hobby. And you can sketch. And you know, I have a problem with this pen lately being clogged all the time. I'm not, so I'm going to not necessarily sketch out everything I have on here as much as make some marks. Okay, I gotta stop for a minute and block this guy. So hopefully I blocked the right guy because that was annoying. Sorry guys, hang on.  Okay, this pen's just not wanting to work for me this morning and I'm having an issue with it, now where's the cap? So I'm gonna switch to a different one. I've got two of them. You know, I just attract all the fun ones. So I'm gonna accent some of my lines before I even get started with the black pen. This is a super fine nib carbon ink pen. Yeah, if you guys can help me keep an eye on guys like that and block them for me, that would be fabulous.  And this pen will write over the watercolor, so if I want to afterwards, I can add some of it afterwards too. I like the sketchy look, so you notice that my lines are jagged and they're not, you know, straight and smooth. I like that, but do whatever's gonna make you happy. Okay, there you go. Yeah, exactly. No worries, I get lots of trolls. I don't know, I'm just lucky, I guess. All right, so now we're gonna just take a sort of a medium round brush. This is a Princeton Select number eight round. And I'm gonna start with my lightest color. And I'm gonna get my reading glove. Need these. Well, I don't need them, but it's helpful. All right, we're gonna start with a lemony yellow. Grab some water, water it down. I tend to lighten my colors with water rather than with adding Chinese white to them. I'm not opposed to using Chinese white, that's just what I do. So I'm gonna add a bit of the lemon yellow to the center here.  Oops, let's see what would happen. My ink wasn't dry. That's all right. We'll make it work. See, live on camera, look what happens. Let's spread this out just a little bit and blend out the edges. And I'm gonna take some of my lemony yellow and do this to it before we even get started. We're gonna take the heat gun. Hey, Brandy! And we're gonna dry this, not only to dry the yellow, but to make sure the ink is dry. No worries, we just got started. Of course, we already had one stroll, so that's just how I roll on Periscope, evidently. The trolls love me.  Hey, Mark! No worries, like I told Brandy, we just got started, so no problem. Okay, I'm so happy they got there okay. I'm so happy you got the journals finally. All right, so we've got an interesting start here. So we're working on a point set of this morning. And now I'm gonna, so I started with lemony yellow. My ink around a little bit, but that's okay. We're gonna just work with it. Well, okay, they're available.  So now I'm gonna add, this is new Gamboge, which is more of an orangey yellow. And I'm gonna continue to add this, and I'm gonna work from my center out. I'm gonna add it to the parts of the flower and the flower center that would be lighter and brighter, being maybe hit by the sun or the camera flash. I'm gonna blur out some of my edges a bit, not necessarily all of them, but some of them.  All right, so that's an interesting start. So we're gonna continue working our way darker, and we're gonna go with some permanent red, because points that is, of course, a red, right? And I'm gonna add some of that to my plate with some water, and I'm gonna start here up at the top and go around the edges of the petal. We're gonna do one petal at a time, lay in some red, and then bring in some water and spread your pigment around. It's gonna blend with anything else on there that's wet, but we're okay with that. And this is basically, well, kind of the same way I do all my flowers. If you've seen me do flowers before, you know that. You could do that, definitely, but I like this yellow particularly. So I'm gonna skip a petal, and I'm gonna go down to this one.  If we have time, we'll do roses. If we don't have time, we'll do another broadcast with just roses. Generally speaking, the more water that you add to your paint, the lighter it's gonna be. So if you want your poinsettia to be, you know, generally speaking, overall lighter in color than you wanna add more water to your paint. Be suggestive about your marks. It'll give you something that's more interesting. And just keep working your way around there. I'm trying to leave the part of the petal that is closest to the camera, lighter or white. Rinsing my brush off in my water, which is off camera, and I have a rag which is off camera the other way. But there's not really a lot of need to clean the brush off a whole lot because I'm using, I'm not switching colors right now. I see I just made a mistake. I should have not done that one. I should have done this one. Oops, because I'm talking while I'm painting. Oh, that's all right. So this is a behind leaf, behind these other ones. So I'm gonna make it a little darker than the others. That's some dark to this one too. I'm not sure I completely understood that comment, Mike. Maybe I did, and maybe I agree with it. I don't know. All right, let's see. Let's see if I can not screw up again. Let's go with this one. By the time I get around the flower, this over here is gonna be fairly dry so I can do the other petals. And again, this is permanent red. These are Daniel Smith watercolors, my preferred brand. You should, when you're painting, have two containers of water, one that's kind of for the dirty water and one that's clean. That'll keep your colors from getting muddy because see now I screwed up, but that's all right. I'm going to put this here so I don't stick my hand in the wet paint. So now you'll see my rag. Thank you. Need some more red. So I'm just laying my pigment in the outside edges of the petals and like at the base of the petals and at the top tip, then I'm coming in with just plain water and blending it in towards the center of the flower petal with just plain water.  That'll just give you the hint of a highlight where the sun is shining. This one's too, I'm not sure. It's not blend enough for me. It's too, the spot's too big. And the yellow, you see the yellow that we started with is showing through and it's giving you a suggestion of sunlight. I like that. So now we're going to do this one. Again, I'm going to stick this here. So hopefully you don't get paint all over me, but that'll be short-lived because whenever I'm in here, I end up with paint all over me or marker or pen or gesso. Or something. So now we're going to come in with some water. Let me know if you guys have any questions. Thank you for the hearts, love that. So you'll notice if you've been watching me paint for a while that sometimes I don't get to the edges with the plain water quick enough and the edge starts to dry. And then when I go to blend it with the water, I get a hard edge, which I don't always want. But if you've watched me like I just did here, I go over that with some fresh pigment and fresh watercolor and then blend and then I get rid of that edge that way. Okay, so now we should be able to do this one. I want to have this one and this one be green. And I may want to add one more down here that's green, but we'll see when we get that flower done. I'm going to go into this one. Oh, thanks. I try. It's one of the things I like about these live broadcasts and even the way I film some of the YouTube now is I just kind of try to talk about what I'm doing while I'm doing it. I think I'm a little better at that than it used to be. I do still sometimes get lost in the painting, but I am a painter, so it happens. So now that this petal's dry, the paint may blend a little bit with that petal, but it's not going to blend as much as it would as if it was wet. And you'll get more of a harsh line like right here. We have a little bit of a line and we want that. Plus we've left our pencil marks in and we've accented some of our lines with the black pen. So we have a nice defining line. Now, of course, you don't have to do that as has already been discussed. You could do this all with watercolor pencil that disappears as you're painting and then suggest all your shapes with the paint. I'm going to do a bit of both here. And I'll show you what I mean in just a minute. So there you go, there's another petal. So I'm going to skip this one because I just did that one and it's wet. And I'm going to do this one. When I'm painting, I like nice, light, bright yellows. This Hansa Yellow Medium is one of my favorites. Koi has a bright, light, lemony yellow that I love. Some people like a paler yellow, less vibrant. You have to just play and experiment and figure out what you like. But definitely check out Janet and Steve Rogers. There's a few video tapes of them or excerpts from their DVDs, I think, on YouTube, which is how I found them. Okay, that one's wet. So I'm going to skip these two. We're going to go over here to this one. We're going to just keep working our way around our points at our flower. This kind of painting would be fun to do and then reprint it on your Christmas cards if you haven't done your Christmas cards yet. You can scan the image and then, you know, take it to your office supply store and have them scan it and print it for you or you can scan it and like send it to Vista Print and have them do it. Do this one that's hiding back here. Our Christmas cards have one of my birds on it that I did. I did a cardinal. I don't know if you guys remember that. Okay, this one has a lot of pigment on it because it's a leaf that's really behind this other bigger leaf. So I want it to be darker. There we go. So now we're going to do this one. Again, I've put more pigment on this one than I did the others and I'm okay with these red splotches that just happened by accident. I, you know, love the way Jean paints paints, as you all know, with her splotches and splatters and I'm not a realist painter by any stretch of the imagination for those of you who are new and don't know me. Yeah, it's a happy flower. I'm more of an impressionist painter, so. Okay, we're almost done with the red. It's a lot of red, right? A lot of red petals. Okay, so now we should be able to do this one. Feel free to share the broadcast and if somebody here is in one or all of the Facebook groups I posted to this morning, if you guys can post the PC link for the broadcast right now, for those people who don't have smartphones or tablets, I would sure appreciate that. I probably should have said that when we got started. Oops. I will, of course, be posting it to YouTube. I have tons of video editing to do today, so hopefully I can get my phone to talk nice to my computer and we can get it downloaded to, oh, thanks. Thanks, Michelle. Hopefully we can get it loaded up to YouTube sometime tonight. I can get my phone to talk nice to my computer. So in my opinion, when you're watercoloring and you're having fun with it, part of the charm of a watercolor painting is the splotches in the drips and the watermarks in the paint. I love that and I love, like, right here. I love using that to suggest my painting in my paintings. I'm not all about blending it out perfect. Oh, good mark. Thank you so much, Ned. Ned Beads.  You guys are all doing a great job.  Oh, Nancy, see, Ned. I'm just gonna keep calling you Ned Beads, Nancy, unless you tell me what your name is. You guys all think of these clever, like, screen names and stuff. When I first got started on the internet, I could never decide on a good screen names or a good business name. That's how I just started using my name. I guess it's good because I don't have to worry about copywriting and it's my name. Okay, so right there we have kind of, oh, okay, that's good to know. Right there we have kind of an accidental light spot, but you know what? I like it, so we're gonna leave it and we're gonna let all of this dry a little bit and we're gonna put a base coat on our leaves and kind of decide if we want a third leaf, which I think in the interest of balance in the painting, I think we do now that I'm looking at this. So let's just put one in and then let's take our black pen and just suggest a little bit of a lot. Excuse me, a line, wow. I think like burping on camera. All right, so I'm gonna go in with a, I think I wanna go in with a green gold. I'm gonna listen to my instincts. I'm always telling you guys to do that. Then some water. I love the green gold because it's more of a olivey green or less bright green. Then I also have phthalo yellow green. So you have this one, which is more intense and then you have this one. I like the green gold is my favorite piece of fuzz, okay. So we're gonna do the same thing with the leaves that we just did with the petals. And this is just a base coat of color. Now, whether you're doing a poinsettia or a rose, I use a similar technique. So the only difference really is the sketching, the shape, you know, because you're sketching the rose. And there's some really great photos out there on both paint my photo or Pinterest or, you know, just go out to the garden and take some pictures and use those for your painting. Or, you know, if you're out and about over the holidays and you're at a church service or a friend's house and they've got some pretty poinsettias on the table, you know, just bust out the smartphone really quick and take a photo and then save it for later and use it as inspiration for your paintings. Just don't do like I usually do, which is get so absorbed in the photo, taking that I knock over table centerpieces and glasses of wine and, because, you know, my middle name is neither patience or grace. Didn't we discuss this on Monday with Monday with decor? I think we did. So it just depends on the effect I'm going for. Generally speaking, if you guys have been watching me for a while, I usually start with my paint on dry paper like I am right here. And then I add water to help the paint spread or blend to the areas that I want. I feel like I have more control that way. If I'm doing a background, I'll do wet on wet. You know, if I'm doing sort of an atmospheric background, something sort of Gene Haynes style before I even get started with the drawing or anything, then I'll just get the paper wet and I'll lay down a few colors that blend well together. See, Mark? So just take some pictures. You know, while it still looks pretty and save those and you can use those for future reference because the best way to get reference photos or to use, you know, any reference photos, of course, is to use your own. Now I want to take a little bit of the same color green and I need to get some more. And I want to put a little bit of it into the center because these little center things are, thanks, gotta put the red here. Have some green in them. So we want to put a little bit of green. And then we're gonna take some water. Watercolor painting, you know, is all about controlling, you know, part of the joy for me of painting watercolor is about trying to control the uncontrollable because watercolor really just has a mind of its own. And I kind of like that. So I love this and you could definitely stop here and there's nothing wrong with this but if you want to really keep going and make it pop then you want to add darker tones. And these are great highlight colors but we're gonna go back to our flower petals and we're gonna go with Alizarin Crimson which is a dark, dark red. This is Permanent Red. This is Alizarin Crimson. You could do Quedachronome Red. You could probably do Quedachronome Magenta and we may add some of that. Or I'm thinking I might even add the Alizarin Crimson with a little bit of Magenta. These are your poinsettias and you can add whatever colors to your flowers that you want. You want to make them turquoise, make them turquoise. That was a little bit too much Magenta. Try that again in a different spot. I might use that purple for something else but that was too purple. That's better. So now we have this color that's gonna be a nice dark shading color for our leaves. That looks like that. It's a nice color. All right. So now just like we did before we're gonna start in our front flowers and I'm gonna add this color to the base of the petal. Hello.  And I wanna be more controlling now. Oh, good. I wanna be more controlling now about where the pigment's going. So I'm gonna be careful about how much water I put. I don't wanna completely cover up all the other colors I put on there but I wanna add some darkness at the base of the petal where it would be going into the flower center. My daughter's a photographer so when I need pictures of something, good photos. I usually ask her to take them for me or ask her if she's already got one in her stash. So that's already giving our flower some depth. So I'm keeping to the dry parts and skipping around. Yes, I'm giving it a pop for some effect. Giving it some more deeper darker reds in the shadows. And doesn't that just make that start to pop? Whether you're doing a poinsettia or you're doing a rose or a daisy, I use the same techniques. I have this purple color on here now and I keep trying to grab it. So that might mean that it's gonna end up in the flower at some point. Let's just grab a tiny teeny bit of it.  This is watercolor. There's no back seas. Okay, see, I like that. So in these far back petals, if I take this kind of reddish purple that I accidentally made and I add just a little bit of that into the dark where it's wet, look at that pop. So with watercolor, especially if you're using professional grade watercolors like the Daniel Smiths, you can do a little bit of lifting but you cannot take it back completely. It is gonna be there. Look at that. Isn't that pretty? So then you have to do that all the way around the flower because look at the difference between these petals and these over here. Nice big pop. So I'm gonna start with the darker red color that I made. It adds dimension exactly. We're suggesting shape and dimension with the color and I'm more about suggesting shape and dimension with the color than I am actually drawing it cause that's not kind of the kind of artist I am.  So I don't know how else to describe it. My sister Karen on the other hand cause we're both artists and creative types.  She loves to do realistic stuff, me not so much. So think, one thing that Jean Haynes teaches is getting you to think about shading with the unexpected colors like purple. You wouldn't have thought, especially when you're starting out to shade with this purple color. Thank you for all the hearts. Look at those. I'm getting drips and splatters everywhere. Good thing I'm okay with that. I do too. Can you smell it yet? I don't wanna smell it. It probably will make me wheeze. So that might be a bad thing. All right, so let's go back over here and you just wanna bring out the shapes of your petals by putting the right color in the right place. It's all about when you're, especially when you're doing it in impressionist type paintings. Really is all about getting the right color and the right mark in the right place to suggest the shape that you want. And this might be a little bit longer broadcast because I might wanna just finish this whole thing on camera. You guys wanna stay and join me? That's cool. If you can't, that's cool.  I am so glad I mixed that purple color by accident. Yeah, I finished one more of my 2015 journals yesterday, the collage journal. Those videos are coming soon too. They're all edited, I just need to download them. So if you're having problems with your watercolor bleeding, it's all about where you're putting the water and controlling where the water is because the paint is gonna go where the water goes. Now if you let like this dry before you put more color on it, this may move a little bit, but it's gonna move a lot less than if it was still wet. I am the queen of impatience, so I understand not wanting to wait for things to dry. Believe me, I do. But with watercolor, you really, I think one of the things I like about it is that you have to be more patient. And I know as somebody who suffers from anxiety disorder, that that is good for me to practice exercises that force me to be more patient and calm. They help me. So now I'm adding the purple. So I'm going in with first the red and then the purple. So with one of the things I love about watercolor, and I think why I will always, it will always be sort of my favorite medium is that I can dry it with my heat embossing tool. So I don't, when I'm home at least, so I don't necessarily have to wait for things to dry. And I love that. I use my heat embossing tool a lot. You guys see me use it a lot. It's funny I had somebody ask me about it. It's just your standard every day over the counter heat embossing tool from Michaels. I wish there was a portable cordless version, but there really isn't a good one. Yeah, I love that it's transparent. I do have gouaches which are more opaque, but I honestly, I have a whole palette of gouache and I almost never use it. A hairdryer would work. The heat embossing tool works a little faster, but I know when I'm traveling, I use, I just use my hairdryer when I'm in the hotel room.  You know what, another color that would be good for a dark shadow color on the poinsettia that would mix well with the reds is like a Prussian blue. You could use a blue, that would actually be pretty. As long as it mixes with the red and you did it when the red was wet and it didn't end up too blue. So just go around your flower, do one petal at a time. Don't be in any rush. A lot of times when I'm doing this and I'm not on camera, I turn up here. Okay, so I drew this first free hand in the beginning of the broadcast from an inspiration photo I found on the internet. And I frequently use blue as a shadow color on the leaves. My two favorite shadow colors are blue and purple. Oh, Ireland. Oh, that's on my bucket list. I so wanna go. My grandmother's family was from Ireland. Grandpa's from Scotland, so visiting both is on my bucket list. At least they claim to be from Ireland, but I think some of them were criminals, so I'm not exactly sure where they're from. And the Scottish family got kicked out of Scotland, so I kinda stop asking questions when I found that out. I'm not sure. I know that the Scottish family was from Glasgow, I traced them back there. The Irish family never did say, their last name was Champlain, and wait, Champlain, which is English, and then Nugent. The Nugent side of the family is from Ireland. Ted Nugent is a distant cousin of my mom, if you know anything about rock and roll. Yes. Although I think he doesn't acknowledge the fact, but yes. Or my mom doesn't, I'm not sure. So I love using my watercolors as part of Mix Media Works. I love, if you've watched my collage videos, you all know I love my gelatoes and gel crayons, and they mix really well with watercolor paints. So besides the base of the petals, the petals, generally speaking, are gonna be round like this. So the parts that are far away from the viewer are going to be darker. Yeah, it's a pretty common name in Scotland, so I'm not sure, and I haven't done any genealogy in a long time, so I don't know. But yes, we're related to Ted Nugent. So wherever he claims to be from, yeah, that's where we're from. So I'm just going in and doing the tips of the flower petals. Yeah, Texas. I actually have cousins in Texas too. My mom's family has been in America for a long time. So we have cousins everywhere, and my dad is Italian, so again, cousins everywhere. Big family. I think I have cousins in almost every state in the union. So now I'm just going in and taking some of my leftover color on my palette, and I'm adding it to the flower tips, the petal tips, and just darkening up some of them. Doesn't that start to like pop, really prittling? So this is a Princeton Select round number eight. I love the Princeton brushes. They have the Princeton Neptune and the Princeton Select line, and I love their brushes, they're synthetic, so they're not, no animal hair involved, and they're affordable. So I like that already. I am going to put a little bit of this because looking at the inspiration photo again, there's a little bit of the reds in the flower center. So we're going to add some. Now we're going to, and I use the purpley red because it looks like, according to what I'm seeing in the photo, it looks like the one that would work. I'm blending the little dots to paint out just a little bit, not too much. And I missed that last comment because I was painting and not looking at the iPad. Okay, now we're going to go in and we're going to do the leaves. And I'm going to use Cascade Green, which is a more of a blue-green. This one here. I feel like I need another cup of coffee, so I don't know what to tell you. I haven't done the PDF yet, I know, right? I'm so behind on the PDFs. The inspiration photo is from Pinterest. So I'm not sure I'm going to be able to put it on the PDF, but I will put a copy of this on the PDF. And I just last night figured out how to pull stills out of these Periscope broadcasts. So I can go back to last week's more faces and pull a few things out to add to the old faces PDF. Anybody who's purchased that, you'll get an updated copy as soon as I get that done.  Now on the stills, I can't do anything about the video. I optimize it as much as I can. I promise in the new year to be a bit better about the PDFs. Oh, thanks. I really do wish I had like a secretary that could just do this and she could create the PDFs for me because there are pain in the neck, to be honest with you guys. Yeah, that's a good idea, Mark. And I can link to some of those. Yeah, and I can give you guys some suggestions for websites. Paint My Photo has some great images. And like I said, I can give you copies of my painting. I missed the last comment because I was painting again. And I keep talking to the iPad because you know, I'm thinking you guys can see me on the iPad. I really do feel like I need more coffee. Okay, no problem. I'm gonna just blot that just a bit. That's better. Yeah, it does me too if I have too much of it. Plus I get a stomach ache. I might drink some tea though. I might make some tea after the broadcast is over. So this is called Cascade Green. This is a Daniel Smith color. It's more of a blue-green or, yeah, it's more of a blue-green. I almost said true green, but that's not true. The truest green I have on my palette is Sap Green. Another one, if you have it in your palette would be Hooker's Green. This is more blue on the blue realm. I'll show you in a minute. I always usually include a copy of my palette that we're working from in the PDF. So you guys have a complete listing of all the 52 colors that I have in this palette that I work from usually when we're broadcasting. I have a number of palettes. This is my favorite one. Okay, so I'm gonna come in and I'm going to get some Prussian Blue. Yeah, 52 shades of Daniel Smith watercolors. And I'm gonna mix the Prussian Group blue onto the palette plate, but you can't see what I'm doing. Right into the greens that I have on there. And it's just gonna darken up the greens.   So neutrals will make the bright colors pop. And if you're doing this as a color launcher, I do not as much as I used to when I was learning, but I think I've got three of them around here somewhere. You need to practice with your colors and practice mixing with the colors that you have. A good example of that is this here. So I was working on, I think, a Gene Haynes assignment. And she used Cavendium, Orange, and Indigo, which I don't have in my palette. So I was seeing, I swatched them from my samples that I have from Daniel Smith, and I was seeing what colors I have in my palette were close. I found that if I mix Payne's Gray and Prussian Blue, I get a nice dark Indigo color. And that my Pryroll Orange was pretty close. And if I added a little bit more yellow to it, that it's not, I didn't do it on here, but if I added a little more yellow to it, I got something that was pretty close. So use what you have. But when you do the shadow color on the leaves, go with a darker blue, or mix the darkest blue that you have with your greens. And I shadow color for the petals, obviously, that we used as violet. When you look at your color wheel, you have your blues and your greens. They're cool colors, the violets. And the, you know, I started with a set like that, nothing wrong with that. The violets, the blues, and the greens are nice cool shadow colors. The reds, the oranges, the yellows are warmer colors. And if you are wanting to paint impressionistically, then you wanna paint in cool colors for your shadows and warm colors for your highlights. So that's not bad. So the one thing I wanna do here is add some of this green. Thank you so much. You know, I have a couple of the expensive brushes and I like them, but I prefer the Princeton Select. They're frequently on sale at my local art supply store. If you have an Aaron Brothers Art & Framing, these are on sale frequently. And sometimes buy one, get one free, or buy one, get two free. They have the Princeton Select and also the Princeton Neptune. Princeton Select is for acrylic or watercolor. Princeton Neptune is recommended just for watercolor and they're my favorite brush. I have a couple of really expensive like $70 brushes and they're great and all, but I'm really hard on my brushes. So I usually don't spend that kind of money on brushes. So the last thing I would probably do on this, yeah, they cost a pretty penny. Let me tell you. So I wanna, oh, see, but I like that. So I would leave that like that. I like that. And this journal is really all about experimenting. I have some, what is it, Raphael Soft Aqua. And I don't think that's how you pronounce that. Pull the water from it. I don't know, what do you mean exactly? So in this journal, because this is a mixed media journal, I have lots of different kinds of paintings in here and I frequently do stamping and writing and use this as more of a mixed media watercolor journal. I don't always, but this one, in this particular case, I think I'm gonna leave it. Oh, no, I'm gonna leave it. One of the joys of being a mixed media artist, in my opinion, is learning to work with the unexpected. And I actually like that large drop there. And actually having that large drop over there and these drops over here balance all of this craziness that's going on over here. And it's gonna dry a lot lighter than it looks right now. We didn't even get to the rows, it's been an hour. To do the shading, you see me do the shading on here. So it's the same type of shading, but let's at least do a quick sketch for a rose. So here is my, that journal has a lot of roses in it already. So this is my fluid watercolor paper, Cold Press Block. And I have, you can go and find me over on Pinterest and I pinned some of these pictures to my watercolor inspiration board, by the way. Somebody asked earlier about photos. I gotta rearrange my clipboard. No, I went to school, I went to college for a study early child development and counseling. I was gonna be a, I wanted to be a counselor for troubled teens. Let's go for art. But then I had, I got married and had a kid and life gets in the way. So now let's do a sketch. I've got my photo here to the side and the shading is done the same way, but first I almost always do a sketch. Now when I do, I draw every, every day. You can't get pregnant. I do this. This is what I do now. My daughter's 20, so I don't, I don't raise kids anymore. Thank you. So I start from the center of the rose and work your way out using your inspiration photo and just copying the shapes that you see. Rose petals are roughly and uneven. They kind of have softer edges, but they're definitely a bit on the jagged side.  You're not, you know, we're not looking to make an exact copy or anything. And they're really, it's really just about a series of petals that are wrapped around each other. Oh yeah, see, because I'm doing it like, you know what, let's do it in ink. I know somebody's going to go, what ink? Let's do it in ink. This is a Stedler pigment liner. All right, so I'm going to start back in the center. There we go. So just drawing the shapes I see on my inspiration photo, starting in the center of the flower and just, I'm just working with the edges of the flower petals that I see. And of course you wouldn't do this in pen. You would do this in pencil or, you know, watercolor pencil or just standard number two pencil. You wouldn't be crazy like I am right now and do this in pen on camera. Unless you're doing a tutorial. Okay, I lost track of what I did. I missed the one before or your Jane Davenport. Oh, or yeah, that's true. I actually use, my phone is mounted on the shelf above my table with a dollar store phone mount, to be perfectly honest. Yes, of course it's okay to ask a mixed media question. I'm sure they do, I would go to Amazon and look. So again, I'm just looking at my inspiration photo and I'm copying the shapes that I'm seeing or at least a close proximity of the shapes I'm seeing. So I think so, but if I wanna have sparkly paint, I generally just honestly, if I'm working with acrylics, I mix glitter right into the paint or I use iridescent medium. This is a Stadler pigment liner. This is from Staples. They come in a set of four and different nib sizes. This is the biggest one. So there would be our rose. I generally speaking, don't draw the leaves. I am going to use, yeah, that sounds familiar. I'm not sure where I heard it though. Thank you. I am going to use a flat brush. Now this is a Princeton Neptune half inch flat. This is my favorite flat brush. I love the size of it. It's not too big. It's not too small. And also I love the plastic handle and the fact that it's got a pointy end so you can scratch into the watercolor to get some different effects. All right, so I'm gonna just use the colors that are on my plate here that we have. And I'm gonna actually just go right for the purpley color. So the trick to this is of course, keeping the inspiration photo handy is to lay the color in to the parts of your rose petals that are in shadow. So starting, and I'm gonna turn this upside down because it'll be easier for me. So starting near the center and sort of painting around your rose petals, you can use a flat of course, or you can use a round or you can use a combination of. And I'm gonna just leave that there for just a second and it's gonna soak into the paper. And I know that, but that's what I want. Then I'm gonna come in with some water and just plain water and I'm gonna pull that pigment up a little bit. It's gonna follow the water. It's gonna leave a shadow, a darker color, a suggestion of a shadow in the crease of the flower petal. The rose petal.  I haven't added any more colors to this. It's just the purple. So this is one petal, right? And we've already put color on it. And this is the upper edge of that petal. So it should be white, but this right here where I have the brush now is the bottom of the petal behind it. So that I want to be darker. And it's always good to keep your inspiration photo handy in case you lose your track of where you are. And with roses, because they have so many petals and they can be so complicated, it's easy to kind of lose track of where you are, okay? Now, if you get too much of the pigment moving up, come in with your damp clean brush and run it along the upper edge of that petal and just do some lifting. I'm gonna pull, I need some more paint. So this is almost the same colors that we accidentally made. This is a rose of ultramarine. I'm gonna lay it in the base of the petal. This is a nice color. It's a cross between a purple and a pink. Don't be afraid to turn your work either. I'm actually gonna switch to a small, a different brush. This is a Princeton number four pointed filbert. Just because these center petals are a little tough to get into. Whoops, see too much water. That's all about getting the right color in the right place and controlling how much water. There's tons of different ways to do flowers, roses. This is how I do them. I keep trying other ways and I keep going back to this way. This seems to be the way that makes me happy. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.  I wanna make some of this darker. And it's a really fun experiment to do this using only one color. It really teaches you a lot about control in your watercolor. If you're not focused on color, you're just focused on layering down a right amount of that color in the right place. So the pointed filbert has a pointy end. So it's kind of a cross between a flat and a round. Yeah, it's all about control. And working with these paintings with just one color teach you a lot about control. You know, I was gonna lift that but I think I like that dark splotch. So then you just keep going around your flower and working your way all the way around. Like I said, this is a great exercise in control. I do recommend it. What's the worst that could happen?  I feel like, ah. I miss that, whatever that was. I was painting. I wasn't looking at the screen. Something about dirty dancing. Well, I'm glad it made somebody laugh. I missed it.  It's part of the process of learning to create art and, you know, it's part of the adventure in creating art. Well, I'm still here, Brandy, so no worries. I decided to just keep going and to paint this rose after we were done with the point set up. So this is gonna be a longer broadcast than normal, not that my broadcasts are ever short, unless I'm getting past the brush. So I'm only using, you know, the one purpley color, the Rose of Ultramarine. You're welcome, Nancy. Hey, I like silly putty. So you just keep going and going, we're almost done. And getting those darker and lighter tones with just the one color of paint. Oh, you're welcome, thank you. Have a good day. Is a challenge, but it's a fun challenge. So you can come back into some of these areas and make them a bit darker, again, with just the same color after you get that first layer of paint on. Make your dark spots darker, leave your light spots light. You know, that just depends on the mood that I'm in. Most of the time, if I choose to make pen marks on my paintings, I tend to leave them and let them help me suggest the shapes that I want. And I don't necessarily try to cover them up. Because I put them there for a reason. But that being said, you don't necessarily want these black marks to be up against the light pastel color. So now I'm taking the Rose of Ultramarine straight out of the palette, which is really dark. Hello, put a little bit of it down and then pull in some water. And you notice I'm not blending it out completely. I'm letting the water go where it may. I'm good.  I'm always wary of people that ask me how I'm doing since I had the sex box on my channel. So again, we're just, you know, I haven't, I'm not using any other colors of paint. This is just the Rose of Ultramarine. So laying down some pigment and then putting in some water before it gets to, I don't know what to say to that. Rose of Ultramarine. It's a Daniel Smith color and I think it's a unique color to them. They have a few unique colors. This is one of them. And it's one of my favorites that they make. They do have a color sample chart that you can get from Daniel Smith either directly from their website or on Amazon, a dot sample chart that includes a dot sample of all of their 238, I think, colors of paint.  Their tubes run anywhere from about like $11 to, I think like 20. It depends on the color and the, you know, the kind of the pigment. I started collecting them by just buying one tube at a time. Oh, thanks. I hope that's a good thing. So there's our rose and that's only with the one color. I haven't put any other colors in here. This is just the Rose of Ultramarine. And you really could just keep going, making your dark parts darker, leaving your light parts light and not getting them, letting them get too dark. Okay, I just blocked somebody else, you guys. All right. And so I haven't done anything else to this. Now you could come in with some green. Again, I'm just going to use what's on my palette because it's here. I wouldn't be too concerned with painting leaves exactly. Just suggest some like greenery around the flower. It just makes it, you know, kind of pop. Do it in three places. Three places are more interesting than one place. Add some water, let it flow, you know, do some lifting. See, so I would go hit a sale. Don't tell me about it because I have enough paint. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I have too much paint. But definitely if there's some kind of sale going on, go do that.  But it's handy to have the color dot chart too, because if you run into a lesson for something that uses a color that you don't think you have, you can swatch it and see if you can mix that color from what you do have, which is what I did. So I don't know that I would do too much more to that. That's kind of cute the way it is. I do think I would make me make the greens a little bit darker by just pulling in some sap green water in the direction that I want the green to go, which is away from the flower petals. And then I might even do this, which puts some, you know, marks in the paint. Um, no, no. Boy, I don't think so. Hang on a second and I'll look at my color chart and my dot samples and we'll look, but I don't think so. You have to mix it. Generally speaking, it's usually better to mix flesh tones than it is to use out of the tube. The ones out of the tube are generally slightly off, not in a good way. Most of the time they're too pink.  So there we go. So that's a rose. This is, I took my Daniel Smith cards and I cut them apart so they fit in here. And they have Hansa Yellow Deep or Naples Yellow, which are flesh tone kind of colors. There's a clean brush, maybe. Thank you. So this is the Naples Yellow, which is a flesh tone-y kind of color. So you could use, definitely use that. I think it's closer than the Hansa Yellow Deep. I don't think they have anything that's specifically called flesh tone. Looks like peanut butter, exactly. So, you know, in part of the faces video, the first one and, no, first one was mixing flesh tones and actually a downloadable copy of that video and the PDF is in my Udemy course. It's also free on YouTube, the video of course, but these are all the different colors of Daniel Smith paint. That's the closest one they have. That's one that you wouldn't have to mix. I don't think it's exactly right.  I think it's nicer to learn how to mix colors and learning how to mix fleshed. If you can mix a good flesh tone, you can mix any color. And this is the little book I made with all my sample little charts in it from Quar and Daniel Smith. Here's our rose. And I'm gonna try to catch up on the PDF thing, you guys. I'm sorry, I didn't do the pre-video with the PDF. So I'm gonna try to do it actually from this broadcast and pull stills from the broadcast and then do the PDF for, and it'll include the point set and the rose. Oh, you're welcome. I, you know, go back and look at the faces video and or if you've signed up for the Udemy course, Lisa, the PDF and the video from the Periscope broadcast is in there. And you can download it on your computer and just practice mixing your flesh tones. Cool. It might take a while to download because that video is a really long video, but just, you know, like set it to download like one night before you go to bed or something. And what I would do is keep some of those things like on a flash drive or burn it to a DVD. And that way, if you're out, like you're on vacation and you can bring a portable DVD player with you or your laptop and you can watch it on vacation and you don't have to go fishing around on YouTube like I did recently and use up all your data plan watching one video. Been there down that and I know better, holy cow. All right, you guys. So roses and point set us. I'm not sure what's next, but we have a list of suggested Periscope watercolor Wednesday broadcasts over in my Facebook group, a life of art and self-expression. If you want to suggest a video, please go over there and find that file and add something to it or add something in the comments and we'll get it in there. I think the next one, I know galaxies are coming up. I keep saying that. I do know they're coming up. I don't know if it's next or not. I know, I've lost track. And I don't think now there's gonna be a broadcast for two weeks because this isn't next week Christmas. But, so I hope you guys all have a happy Christmas. Yeah, like space. I hope you all have a happy Christmas. I hope you all have a safe Christmas. Yeah, we're a borealis. And yeah, I will get the, I'll try to get all the PDFs caught up and loaded to Etsy before Christmas. Hopefully I'm laughing. I have so much work to do. All right, you guys have a great Christmas. Happy and safe one to you and yours. And yeah, I've been eating too much Stalin, so I've got to go walking. All right, that's it for right now. Have a great day.  And that's it for right now. All right, bye guys. Do something nice for yourself because you deserve it. All right, bye.


Let's now quickly start directly to the FileX implementation because I think it's really more and more easy to understand in a practical way than discussing over a slide. So again, I'm going to switch to my screen. So I'm going to share the other screen. In this lab, we will going to create a file system on a RAM. We're going to create in the RAM for two reasons, basically. The first reason is because the Nucleo is not having onboard any SD card holder or is not having any USB connector to attach directly a USB key, for example, but you would need in this case a kind of hardware in the middle. And the other reason is that I told you that when you work with a physical device, you need the low-level driver. The RAM disk in this case is the only case that you don't need a low-level driver more than the one that is already provided by the library itself. This is because if you think about it, what is a level driver for a RAM file? The low-level driver is simply a mem copy because you are going to copy to pass. So to copy your string from your local buffer to the RAM disk. So from RAM to RAM, so the low-level driver that is already provided is simply performing a mem copy. We will see later directly in the code what will happen. So let me switch to the QBD. Okay, create a new project. So start. This is again the usual flow. So new STM32 project. Okay, again, let's skip the MCUM view and directly let's go to the board selector. Select again the Nucleo. So H72, select, next. Project name, I don't know, RAM disk, for example, RAM underscore disk. Use default location. No need to change anything. Click finish. This is all peripheral. You can type yes here even if we are not going to use any peripheral, led, bottom, and so on. We only need the RAM and we will only use the RAM of this device on the STM32 H7 device. Okay, you can see again on the left on the project explorer that there is nothing but the core library, the core user file, and the driver. So this is still a bare metal project. Let's go again to Alt O or select component. Again, we need the file X, but after including the operating system. So first of all, let's add the operating system. So RTOS predicts core, so the minimal, and after that we can pass to the file X. So again, let's include the core again. The level X we can skip because the level X is for the management of the flash and directly go to file system interface and add the low level driver for the RAM interface. Let's click on OK. Again, another line appeared here on the categories. Select software pack, select the Azure RTOS, and you will see here that finally not only the RTOS that we enable, but also the file X, a label again, and the file system interface. So the low level driver for the RAM disk. Select all of them. So first tab about the operating system. Again we are going to use the static memory. And since we are going to use the static memory and since we need a cache buffer to work with the file system, we need also to increase the size of the memory pool. So let's give more than 1K, so let's give 3K for example. Memory pool for the file X, OK. The file system has been configured, don't need to change anything. Let's go now to the file X tab. Here the only thing that we need to change is the base address of the RAM disk. By default it's the access RAM 1. We need to change to the access RAM 2 because the location 1 is already used for other stuff, other things of the operating system. So let's move to access RAM 2 base, keeping the same default size 8K, OK. And that's it. We have in few click enabled, added and enabled the RTOS and the file system, the file X. Before generating the code, there is only one thing that is mandatory to be done when working with the operating system. We need to change the time base because the system tick is now being used by the operating system. We need to move the time base for the AL from SysTick to a low resolution timer let's say. So let's go to system core on the left. Click on Sys and move the time base source from SysTick to Timer 6 for example, OK. Now we are ready to generate the code. So save everything, upper path will appear, we want to generate the code, click on yes. It will take a while, again two libraries will be added. First of all, the operating system library again and the other one is about the file X. So if we explode the middleware, we will see not only the 3DX source but also the file X source but again never touch the file related to the middleware. So you can take a look but do not modify it. And the other folder added is the file X. Open file X, open up and you will see here the app underscore file X dot C file. Even in this case like this morning, we are now working no more with a Bermeter project but with an OS based project. This means that the main dot C file has no more sense to be modified so you can close it because the while one will be never reached because the execution will never exit the 3DX in it. So you can close the main dot C and you can open instead the app underscore file X dot C file. This is the file that we overwrite. So you can work at file system level outside the QB, deleting this file and adding the other one or directly change directly the content of this file. This is what I'm going to do. So select all delete and now I'm going to copy the content of this file directly control C, control B. If everything is correct, you should see 268 as number of lines inside this file. Save and compile. Control B, this will take a while because we are going to compile not only the OS but also the file X so this will take a while. You can see on the console how much file are going to be compiled. In the meantime, let's scroll across the file and see how it's composed. Let's start from the beginning. Okay, default sector size. We are going to use a RAM disk file 8K in size. So 8K with sector size of 512, it means in theory we have 16 sector but some sector at the beginning are reserved for the file system itself. Let's say sector number one. In sector number one, we will use in the following steps at the break point in the code. We are going to monitor sector by sector what is going to happen. Sector number one is where you can find the information related to the file system itself. Sector number three is the sector where you can find information about files and directories. And then finally starting sector number five, you will find let's say the payload of the file, so the content of the file. So only the odd sector 125 are going to be used for our purpose. We can ignore sector number, the even one, so sector number two and sector number four because they are reserved for file system stuff. So the default sector size here is 512 or in X is 0x200. And so later we are going to check the offset zero, the offset 400 and the offset 800. So we will see later. Other stuff, stack size, stack priority and thread priority, preemption priority, okay, you manage it. Media memory, for example. Media memory is a pointer to a buffer used for file system as a cache memory. Using a cache memory it means that you will not notice some change into the RAM disk content exactly when you are going to create a file, write to a file, etc. Because you have a cache memory in the middle, you will see later what will happen step by step. So you will notice also the behavior due to the buffer in the middle, to the cache in the middle. So file system media RAM disk, okay, file system file file x, thread x, thread file x thread. As I told you this morning for the file system, every component of the file system of the thread x and so on has an handler. So every operation on the thread on the file or the RAM disk has is handler is pointer. So you can work on it through this pointer. The thread entry is the content, the function that is going to be executed by our task is the thread entry task we already used for the led toggle. Now we are going to change the behavior from a simple led toggle to the management of the file system. So we are going to create a RAM disk, we are going to create a file, open, write, close and so on. That's gone. On the file x unit, there is the allocation of the thread stack to gain size and the creation of the thread itself using again the same parameter we discovered. After that you have the allocation of the cache. So the small buffer, 512, we discussed it before, you have a cache in the middle between what you want to do and the real workflow on the RAM disk, so write and so on. About the thread entry, I'll comment only the first line because the other one we will see step by step. So media format, the media format is the function used to create the RAM disk. You will see here the address of the RAM disk, you will see here the famous low level driver. The low level driver repeat is always needed for your device, whatever device are you going to include. If we go inside it, you will find what I told you before, I need to compile before, okay. I will come back later. Here you will find the low level driver meaning the mem copy because we are going to work with a RAM disk. So all the operations are from memory to memory in the end, from RAM to RAM. So the low level driver is a mem copy. Other stuff, you have here sides of the cache and a pointer to the cache itself. You have the name of the volume, you will see this name inside the sector number zero and you will see other other parameters that are already self-explaining. So number of fath, the rector entry and so on, sector side, this is important, this is a file under 12. Once compiled, yes, let's go in the bug again and flash the board and put a breakpoint here. The bug has stm32 application, keep it the default value so do not change anything, okay. Okay, board has been flashed. Before going in execution, let's add a breakpoint inside our task. So let's add a breakpoint to the effects media format, for example, file line 120. To add a breakpoint, simply double-click on it. Let's run. The breakpoint is disabled here. Why? Let me check. It's disabled. Ah, it's skip all the points, no, no, no, okay. There was a button that was pressed, not by me. Okay. Okay. Let's go back, reset the chip and redo the bug. Okay, now I see. To watch the content of the run disk, let's add a memory monitor. So the same operation done by Manuel this morning. So if you don't see the memory browser, go to window, show view, memory. Let's add as an address the base of the run file, so 0x2402000, okay. Let's add a nice rendering model. So click on new rendering and select traditional, double-click. Let's go step by step. You will see on the sector number one, so at the offset 0x0 format of the media. So you will see here the name run disk. You will see here the fast system itself, file x, et cetera. Now let's scroll the memory monitor and let's go to third sector. Set this at offset 0x400, so let's scroll down, okay. It's around this zone. Let's go on step by step. We are going to create a file and to open it. This is the file at offset 0x400, around. So sector number three, because the sector number two is reserved, same as sector number four. The file is fxtest.txt, and after that we are going to write something at address 0x800, exactly. This is the file x working on STM32. So you can see here that everything happened, so the first sector is for the file system, the third sector is for the file and the directory, and starting the fifth sector you will see the payload. We can continue step by step, but basically what is going to be done is simply reopen the file again, go to the beginning on the file, and read the content of the file. So we can check that the content of the file is exactly the same content included around disk and it's exactly the same buffer we used before for the right operation. So what we saw is how to add a FAT file system and how to include in a quick and easy way with a few clicks in the end, through the cube mix, the file x library. It's obviously, we have done this step through around disk because it's quicker and you don't need any spatial driver, but in the end you can repeat with all the media that you want, that you like, that you want to use. And also flash memories, and they are supported through not only the file x, but also thanks to the level x and the where leveling implemented in software by the library itself.

We want to talk about one or two things, and if it is also possible and like for us to find five minutes to get the health team to give us a final submission, just five quick minutes. However, I want to talk about national unity, uniting Nigeria. One of the lead-offs in the UbiDati promise to Nigeria is that we will secure and unite Nigeria. What are the impediments to national unity? I have from Kano, Nasir Sidi Ali. Nasir, are you there? We have the DG of the Big Ten independent campaign council. Abdukarim and we've got the DG of the presidential campaign council. Balogu, are you there? Somebody let me know who of you is hiding behind the cameras and who of you are actually up there. Okay Mr. DG, the big question of how we offer this promise of uniting Nigeria. In this campaign, I find that some people who should be statesmen who are running, I expect that the first thing that should strike them is how we bring people together, we create a bond. Uniting Nigeria is a very critical thing for us to be able to make progress. But in many ways what I hear is actually things that divide us. What should we be doing to unite Nigeria? Thank you for having me. I think the first time maybe we can start with that. You think of how some of them become our presidential candidate in so-called other parties, for example, you can look at the tickets. Some of the tickets are not even giving you that confidence for uniting Nigeria. If you put up your ticket, a ticket after a northerner, a Muslim, then you pick up a ticket and say you are going to the south. You bring another Muslim and then use another Muslim to make a Muslim-Muslim ticket. That alone, you understand, is not thinking towards uniting Nigeria. And when you ask people around the Dawson party, what do you hear from them? They say it's strategy to win. You can't win and rule over a divided nation. The first thing that you're supposed to think as a party, comment out of what we have already received from this ABC government. The first thing can major parties and any other parties are supposed to be doing is thinking of how do we bring a system. Now, it is from the party primaries that we are going to have within ourselves to start uniting people from our party. And they take this unity to Nigeria's. But all of them they ignore that. For example, ABC ignore that. Do they are Muslim-Muslim tickets? And also PDP on their own side too ignore that. And say, okay, no problem. We are going to put a plan in person. So we are going to be planning. Comment the worst part of this side is that because if to say maybe it's a free and fair election that they have done within their system and they created what they created for themselves. But this one is glaring and the evil of the election dollars flying. Everybody just use money just to buy. So that's mean it's something that they can do to help the country. If they can use money within their own system to create who become the next president. Then that's mean they can use the same money to understand or the same sense that they have to see what is going to start uniting this country. But I think all of them ignore that and just leave to the system. They let it just move. But you look at our own ticket. The ticket of. Hello. They usually don't remember that you couldn't use money. Hello. They usually don't remember that you come. You are Yoruba. You are Hausa. You are Kanuri. You are Igbo. They share the money amongst themselves properly. Yes sir. But when it comes to governing. They remember seeking power.  Yes. But if you look at our own ticket now for example sir. Somebody from the south, a Christian. Somebody from the north, a Muslim. Coming together to challenge us. And thank God for the ticket. Thank God for our candidate. So it makes it very easy for people like us when we go out in the north to advocate for this ticket. Or to call people to join us in this movement. We tell them the truth. We tell them that there is nothing you can do. There is no country that can move forward unless you unite the country. And I give them a small example. I said God has given us everything we want as a country. Everything. From the fighter land. To military resources. To very beautiful, intelligent people. Anywhere, any day you can be proud of Nigeria to excel in what they are doing. But what we like is God's access. Because in Islam for example. It's a verse of the Quran that said that I have created you a male and a female. Into tribe and nation. To Arafu that's to the reason God said in the Quran is that for you to know each other. Every Imam in the north, every Maland that you know knows about this. This is one of the most beautiful ayah in the Quran. The reason why God created us into different nations is for us to know each other. So if some people because they want to join a system or they want to rule or they want to govern or they want to take over, they just divide and rule. So that's what they are calling for me year in and year out every four years. So thank God from Friday to day we have a series of TV programmes, two hours we are calling. We didn't need your programmes, four radio programmes. Freedom Radio have an audience of almost getting to nine million people. So if you take, we are going to do that tomorrow in the morning. So what we are just doing all the programmes we have on radio and TV up here in the north. It is also telling them that this is what this ticket is bringing to us. This is what Mr. Peter Obi is promising us. And the main beneficiary of his government will be enough because he said the most important physical assets in this country. Is the vast light in the north. So if you are talking about consumption to production, definitely north is going to play the vital role in trying to get that transition. So what we need to do is that sir? This is not just in agriculture. In terms of the power that we are talking about, the north is where a good part of solar power can be generated for our country. There is also a lot of hydro power possibilities in the north. So as we are going to help ourselves properly, the benefits will be spread across our country. Of course. We have what is called dead dams. Dams that are not adding any value to anybody. In the north we have almost getting to 200 dams in the north. Some of them we call them dead dams because there is not even a decision by the dams. Talk less or putting them to the use. So I see opportunity. I see a new Nigeria. I see a new thinking. This is what we are selling to the north. And I always tell people we will be very, very surprised to see the amount of vote that are going to come from the north. Because it's very easy to sell this idea because you are selling unity. You are selling something that at least can push all of us to get up to create the new Nigeria for our country. But because if we keep on going to the side, talking to people based on division. For example the way we see other people going to other places and telling them naka say naka. And how so that means that you get somebody from your own part of the country to vote for you. Even that person is just going to be one of the worst people that can vote.  But we have to explain to our people that this unity is very, very important because up in the north we have more of the traps in the southern part of the country. If we have two or three of the tribes that we have, they belong to the north. And also if you see the mixing of the Christian and Muslim, they are up here in the north. So it's the north that have almost all the crisis, tribal classes. Let's take Akian Shuntoku. Let's take Akian Shuntoku, his perspective on how we can unite Nigeria and be able to really truly make progress from this unity. Akian. It all comes back to science. Science proceeds from the premise of a worst case scenario, not the best case. Now if you want to apply that philosophy to that premise to Nigeria, it was not on that basis that we had the constitution we had at independence. In other words, you look at all world can go wrong in Nigeria politically and no ramifications. And then engineer an entity or create an entity that will be as much as possible foolproof. That will be risk proof to that, to those kinds of umbrella. Now look, there must be a presumption of mindlessness or also believe that those who frame the independence constitution that we can throw it away and not have the kind of consequences we are in today. Now you see, Nigeria is a systemic crisis. Ironically, Nigerians were more united in the first republic than at any other phase in this country. Regardless of whether the north was the stronghold of Amadu Belu or whatever. When I was growing up, we had one of the O'Donnelli days that we had. We went to Bogada Lake Hotel from Ibadan. Nobody knew what we see. So the thing is this, you can't force a cohabitation and you can't presume, as I said, you cannot presume, you go from the premise that all that can go wrong. Right now, the opposite is the case. When you have an all-powerful president with the power to discriminately apply patronage, cause divide and rule, right, this is what we have got. This emphasis of over-centralization of power. When people have said it, I have not confirmed it yet. Nigeria's president is the most powerful president in the world. That should not happen in any society. It is unethical to what Nigeria ought to be, because unless you have an engine, or for instance, you can get somebody like Obasanjo continuously as the president of Nigeria. That is the only way you can hope that Nigeria can unite under this present constitutional order. So long as you don't, I mean, you know all the things that go into making a person know what it is. So it's very difficult to replicate. We have been living with the consequences of, and as a matter of fact, the eight years that was, that he was president, you could see that there was a recession of this unity, right, signalling a lot, just mere signalling can go a long way.  It was when he had come into the output by a little dangote, by a donor view, by, you know, all sorts of people. It makes people feel a sense of belonging, a big family. You go to the villa when he was president. You develop friendship with some people who are not from your side of the country, like a brother.  You cannot replicate it, right? What we have had is what the kind of, what is possible and to show us the dysfunctional nature of what we are. We regard so national unity in the president we have today, who has the power and he has applied it in a way that disunites the country, that is divisive, right? So out of time, so we have to round up. We, I want to just take a conclusion, a three, five-minute conclusion from the health team who I think didn't present the conclusion. But I don't know if the juggling act can work well together. The key is that, you know, since noon, we have been working at articulating why Obidate is Tina. Using, of course Tina is, there is no alternative. Using facts in the manifesto of the Labour Party to engage. We've had a remarkable round of conversations here. What is important is not only that you support this process through what's been coming up on your screen, but that everyone who really believes that a new Nigeria is desirable and is possible should make the effort to knock on their neighbour's door to say, are you voting right? Do you have your PVC? If you have your PVC and this is the way to go, LP and that index finger and a new Nigeria becomes possible. Canvas, bring out your neighbour, get them to vote and police the vote. There's so much that's already coming out, showing the wrong things. People are complaining all over the place that they are getting new assignments away from where their polling booths are. And they think that it's a deliberate ploy. We're going to explore all of that and find out whether that is true. People are still, you know, not able to collect their voters, their PVCs. These are all issues that go to disenfranchise the Nigerian people. We must make sure this is a real democracy, that people are not disenfranchised and that people vote their conscience. And that violence not be used for buta suppression and that all kinds of terrible machinations to finagle the system stop. Let the will of the people happen and you will get progress. If not we are stuck in this vicious cycle and Nigeria will remain the poverty capital of the world and the bottom jugs around the world. Let's make democracy work for Nigeria. Nigeria can and will rise up again.
