  2. The Magic of Oil Painting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Magic_of_Oil_Painting

    In each episode, Alexander taught techniques for landscape oil painting, completing a painting in each session, painting in a 16th-century style called alla-prima, now known as wet-on-wet. He was invited to record a pilot in late 1973 for KOCE. Alexander earned an Emmy for the show in 1979, making him the first painter to earn the award.

  3. Wet-on-wet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet-on-wet

    Wet-on-wet, or alla prima (Italian, meaning at first attempt), direct painting or au premier coup, [1] is a painting technique in which layers of wet paint are applied to previously administered layers of wet paint. Used mostly in oil painting, the technique requires a fast way of working, because the work has to be finished before the first ...

  4. Ground (art) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_(art)

    alkyd ground is made of "oil-modified alkyd resin" (oil is added to improve drying) and are in use since the 1960s. Titanium white is used for color; oil ground was a lean lead-based primer, no longer used due to being a health hazard, modern "oil ground" is actually alkyd; genuine gesso ground is a lean ground typically used on top of the boards;

  5. Bill Alexander (painter) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Alexander_(painter)

    TV host and prolific painter Bob Ross studied under Alexander, from whom he learned his wet-on-wet technique, a method of painting rapidly using progressively thinner layers of oil paint. [4] Ross mentioned in the very first episode of The Joy of Painting that he had learned the technique from Bill Alexander, calling it "the most fantastic way ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthing_system

    While the national wiring regulations for buildings of many countries follow the IEC 60364 terminology, in North America (United States and Canada), the term "equipment grounding conductor" refers to equipment grounds and ground wires on branch circuits, and "grounding electrode conductor" is used for conductors bonding an earth/ground rod ...

  7. Oil painting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_painting

    A basic rule of oil paint application is 'fat over lean', meaning that each additional layer of paint should contain more oil than the layer below to allow proper drying. If each additional layer contains less oil, the final painting will crack and peel. The consistency on the canvas depends on the layering of the oil paint.

  8. Slickline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slickline

    Slickline is more commonly used in production tubing. The wireline operator monitors at surface the slickline tension via a weight indicator gauge and the depth via a depth counter 'zeroed' from surface, lowers the downhole tool to the proper depth, completes the job by manipulating the downhole tool mechanically, checks to make sure it worked if possible, and pulls the tool back out by ...

  9. Ground and neutral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_and_neutral

    A ground connection that is missing or of inadequate capacity may not provide the protective functions as intended during a fault in the connected equipment. Extra connections between ground and circuit neutral may result in circulating current in the ground path, stray current introduced in the earth or in a structure, and stray voltage.
