Last week for my inaugural column here at OUPblog I talked about how new words bubble up into the English lexicon and how Oxford lexicographers judge which ones deserve inclusion in new editions of our dictionaries. But we’re keeping tabs on many other more subtle aspects of our changing language beyond the flashy lexical newcomers. Take spelling errors, for instance. Dictionaries are, of course, expected to give the standard spellings of words and phrases, reflecting what is generally considered the most correct and acceptable in written English.

-Be like water...when color blends with water, it acts like water! :) also, it helps to think of watercolor as layers of transparent acetates. the more you paint on top of it, the more saturated and darker the color gets.
Just like multiplying layers in Photoshop. I hope I am making sense. keep painting! :)
Beautiful , Myazaki worthy :)
