![]() Empress Elisabeth Of Austria By Franz Xaver Winterhalter Photograph of a portrait of Elisabeth, Empress of Austria after Franz Xaver Winterhalter, 1865, via Royal Collection Trust, LondonĮmpress Elisabeth of Austria also known as Sisi was quite an extraordinary character. A year before painting this royal portrait Rokotov became their court painter.Ħ. In her coronation portrait painted by Fyodor Rokotov in 1763, Catherine the Great is shown dressed in a regal silver dress with an ermine robe. She supported the ideas of the Russian Age of Enlightenment. She was a patron of the arts and contributed greatly to the cultural awakening in Russia. She came to the throne after her husband Peter III of Russia was dethroned. Catherine II The Great By Fyodor Rokotov Catherine II by Fyodor Rokotov, 1763, in The State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow, via Google Arts and CultureĬatherine II the Great was the Empress of Russia from 1762 to 1796. The portrait was first commissioned as a gift for Philip V of Spain, but Louis XIV decided to keep the original for himself.ĥ. The king is also shown with a sword next to his hip symbolizing his power. The patterns of the robe show fleur-de-lis, a lily that symbolizes the French monarchy. The painting shows a royal portrait of an absolute monarch dressed in his coronation robe. In Hyacinthe Rigaud’s portrait from 1701, we see Louis XIV in full-length. Louis XIV was a French king famous for saying “I am the state.” Louis XIV became known as the Sun King who ruled by the divine right God had given him. Louis XIV By Hyacinthe Rigaud Portrait of Louis XIV (1638-1715) King of France by Hyacinthe Rigaud, 1701, via The Louvre, Paris ![]() During his long career, he painted over 1000 paintings. Jovanovic is one of the most famous Serbian painters who lived for almost 100 years. In this royal portrait painted by Paja Jovanovic, Maria is shown fashionably dressed wearing a diadem. She was a big fan of automobiles and enjoyed driving long distances. Her mother was Marie of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, the last queen of Romania whose grandmother was Queen Victoria. Maria of Yugoslavia was the Queen of the Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes from 1922 to 1934 during her marriage to King Alexander. Maria Of Yugoslavia By Paja Jovanovic Queen Maria Karadjordjevic by Paja Jovanovic, 1922, via Belgrade City Museum Queen Victoria By Thomas Sully Queen Victoria by Thomas Sully, 1838, via The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New Yorkģ. Fearing the revolution, Marie Antoinette’s official painter Vigée Le Brun fled to Italy with her daughter.Ģ. Marie Antoinette was beheaded during the French Revolution in 1793. She is often quoted as saying “Let them eat cake,” although there is no historical evidence that she had actually said that. Marie Antoinette became tied to the idea of a luxurious and lavish royal lifestyle at Versailles. During her career, she painted around 30 portraits of Marie Antoinette. The artist was one of the very few women admitted to Académie de St Luc.Īfter she became a portraitist of the queen, she was invited to join Académie Royale in 1783. Vigée Le Brun’s father was a portraitist as well and he thought of her painting when she was little. Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun was an official painter of the French queen Marie Antoinette.

![]() We collect all words that appear with a specific chord and create a large ‘bag of words’-a frequency list of words-for each chord ( figure 1). Here, we apply this sentiment analysis method to a dataset of guitar tablatures-which contain both lyrics and chords-extracted from. This method has been successfully used to obtain insight into a wide variety of corpora. The overall valence of a piece of text, such as a sentence or document, is measured by averaging the valence score of individual words within the text. The lexicon contains valence scores ranging from 0.0 (saddest) to 9.0 (happiest) for 10 222 common English words obtained by surveying Amazon’s Mechanical Turk workers. ![]() Valence is one of the two basic emotional axes, with higher valence corresponding to more attractive/positive emotion. To do so, we adopt a sentiment analysis method that uses the crowd-sourced LabMT 1.0 valence lexicon. Major and Minor) and their associations with sentiment and words across genres, regions and eras. In particular, we use sentiment analysis to analyse chord categories (e.g. Here, we propose a novel method to study the associations between chord types and emotional valence. There has been also an attempt to examine the associations between lyrics and individual chords using a machine translation approach, which confirmed the notion that Major and Minor chords are associated with happy and sad words respectively. It has been shown that the lexical features from lyrics, metadata, social tags and audio-based features can be used to predict the mood of a song. For instance, sentiment analysis has been applied to uncover a long-term trend of declining valence in popular song lyrics. Meanwhile, the growth of music databases as well as the advancement of the field of Music Information Retrieval (MIR) opened new avenues for data-driven studies of music. As a result, creating large datasets and discovering statistical regularities has been a challenge. Such methods may produce high-quality data, but the data collection process involved is both labour- and resource-intensive. The study of music perception has been dominated by methods that directly measure emotional responses, such as self-reports, physiological and cognitive measurements, and developmental observations. Although music has accompanied humanity since the dawn of culture and its underlying mathematical structure has been studied for many years, understanding the link between music and emotion remains a challenge. The power of music to evoke strong feelings has long been admired and explored. ![]() reticulate was designed to help Python and R interoperate, and it allows for easy data transfer between the two. We need to install the reticulate package if it’s not already on our system, and then load the reticulate package. Serdar, any other must-have packages you’d recommend for an R user doing data analysis or other common work? So instead of install.packages() in our R console, we need to run pip install in a terminal window to install Python libraries. Step 4 is a familiar one: Install packages we want. Step 3 is to activate my virtual environment with the source command. Serdar, why should we use one virtual environment per project? Again, notice that I’m running that virtualenv command in a terminal window, and not the R console. I’ll open an R project in RStudio and then create my virtual environment. Next, step 2, is to create a Python virtual environment for an RStudio project. While I run pip install, Serdar, can you tell us why we need virtual environments? That requires Python’s pip install command, which I’ll run in a terminal window. RStudio says we need the virtualenv Python package. ![]() But we’ve got choices! Serdar, would you recommend downloading from or Anaconda? Another question I often run into for Python in general: Should I use Python version two-dot-X or three-dot-X? Step 1, not surprisingly, is to install Python. Instead, since we’ve got Serdar here to help, I’d like to go through a manual version: RStudio’s suggested workflow, step by step. But it can be hard to understand what’s going on here. R is running commands to install Python, install some Python packages, and create a virtual environment. If you run that you should see a response something like this. If you are working locally, the reticulate R package has an easy Python install command: install_miniconda(). He’s here to help answer questions we R users might have when installing and configuring Python for RStudio. ![]() It’s “special” because I’ve got a guest today: Serdar Yegulalp, InfoWorld’s Python expert and host of the InfoWorld Dev with Serdar video series. I’m Sharon Machlis at IDG Communications, here with a special episode of Do More With R: How to set up your system for Python. ![]() To be totally honest, I'm not scared to talk about anything. Because, of course, who wants to see all of that muck and mire and hell? I just don't feel like being silent. But this is where we are in 2021 and you were already there in 2002. It probably made some people uncomfortable then. The topics you were leaning in to, nobody really wanted to touch. You were ahead of the curve, culturally, but sounding like classic old soul musically. I was telling somebody that The Colored Section was either 10 years too early or 30 years too late.Īre you serious?! I don't see that with people, but they say it, so I accept it! Some of us awaken late, even though we seem like we “woke,” as they say. I just really honestly was going through it. I hope you found something good because you were needed the last four years, and you did not show up. If you know nothing else, know that he means every word he says with the same fervor of every word he sings.ĭonnie, I have been looking for you everywhere. True to form, he shared nothing but the same raw and honest truth that has made this record a conversation piece for the last 2 decades. This resurgence of The Colored Section provided an opportunity to speak to Donnie himself. ![]() Among the 16 additional tracks and 90 minutes of bonus content are two outtakes from the original sessions: Donnie’s coy but confident proposition “Trois” and the dynamic love ballad “When You Call My Name.” The Colored Section’s original 14 tracks are getting a digital deluxe reissue, including a treasure trove of remixes, rarities, and previously unreleased material. ![]() Public discourse has only recently caught up to the very topics he tried to warn us about in 2002.īack then, Donnie flooded speakers with everything important that needed saying just in case he never got another chance, but today, a fresh opportunity to appreciate his work circles around again. While his baritone is from another time, conjuring Donny Hathaway, Stevie Wonder, and other gilded soul men, Donnie himself is from the future. Like the church kid he is, Donnie knows how to pull out the drawbars on his Hammond B-3 Organ of a voice. And “Do You Know” pairs bossa nova rhythms with blue sky harmonies on an invitation to romance. “Wildlife” turns the tables on racism to call it the savage beast it is. From its onset, it declares itself a tour guide through the societal ills that both define and complicate the Black experience in America (“Welcome to the colored section / Welcome to the Negro leagues / Sign your name on a Black list / And know this / It’s American history”).ĭonnie guaranteed himself a place on neo-soul radio with an ode to natural Black hair called “Cloud 9.” The almost satirical “Big Black Buck” addresses the intersection of capitalism, race, and classism with an R&B-cum-vaudeville sound as whimsical as it is dark. The lyrics on Colored Section sound the alarm on racism, sexism, homophobia, and religious hypocrisy. Though delectably sung, Donnie likes his soup chunky. With his intrepid debut album The Colored Section (2002), Atlanta singer-songwriter Donnie served up a savory, cohesive course of 14 tracks like a seventh album from an old pro. Authentic soul music warms you from the inside like a good homemade soup. It has moments of suspense and relegated strain. When Kyle learns they are all to be killed even if the ransom is paid, their wilderness survival training is the only hope of outwitting the mercenaries and staying alive.

A Rough layer for a portrait painting for instance I will use longer and wider brushes. The ‘Stroke Width’ and ‘Stroke Length’ I kept at 0.00 but this will be different for all images depending on the image type. I slightly raised the ‘Stroke Color Variation’ a little to bring a little more differences in the colours. Also a very nice touch later on in this tutorial. By changing the ‘Stroke Rotation’ and ‘Rotation Variation’ you change the shape of the strokes. Raising the ‘Paint Volume’ slider will give a more saturated and structured image I like very much but not at this stage of the painting. Lowering this slider will make a much softer effect. Impression stroke settingsĪs you can see I raised the ‘Paint Opacity’ slightly to make sure the brush strokes will be a little bit sharper or have more contrast. I will show you my settings for this image.įor a rough painted version I use a squar-ish brushstroke with a low number of strokes. Make sure to turn of textures (last option) but feel free to play around to get the best result that best suits your taste. In this step we have to create a rough painted version of the image. In the Rough layer I use an Impression filter without textures (check if it is turned down when you scroll down the adjustments plane). ![]() Next it is time to create a Rough painted layer similar as how I use this in the Photoshop version of this tutorial. I usually pick a value between 30 and 60 depending of the type of image I am working with. Next I create a base layer version of the painting by adding a new Simplify filter layer.ĭial up the ‘Simplify Size’ slider until you have lost all small details. The glow creates a softer contrast around the harder edges while also increasing the local contrast to start with the painting. The Glow filter is set to ‘Light’, the strength to 0.43 and the rest of the sliders you can lookup in the screenshot on this page. Feel free to publish your result but I would very much like it if you give attribution or a link to this tutorial.Īfter loading up the file you want to work with I started out by using a glow filter on the dark areas of the photo by using the luminance mask of Studio 2. JPG file in Photoshop (as a smart object if you prefer). If you want to follow along with the same photograph I am using you can download the file here. I already use this as a plug-in from Photoshop, so it was a small step trying to make art using just this piece of software. That is why I tried to create a work similar to how I make them using Photoshop but using the software Studio 2 from Topaz Labs (discount code at the bottom of this page). I use Photoshop on every work I make extensively so the subscription is a no brainer.īut I know it still costs a lot of money to pay for a subscription when you are not often using the software of just use it as a hobby. For me the subscription model is a great way to get all the latest versions and features. Before the existence of the subscription model I owned a copy of Photoshop. I subscribed to the photographers subscription, combining Adobe Photoshop cc and Adobe Lightroom cc. Using Adobe Photoshop cc needs a subscription. If you want to do this faster and easier I also published a tutorial using Adobe Photoshop cc in combination with Topaz Studio 2 and an even easier method using Photoshop Actions. The most time consuming way to do this is to paint. ![]() We’ve improved the post-processing resize algorithm, optimized how we compress JPG, PNG, and TIFF files when exporting, and squashed a bunch of annoying bugs.Earlier I published a tutorial on how to turn any photograph into a digital painting using Adobe Photoshop cc. ⚙️ Lots of usability improvements and bug fixes We’ve streamlined how we cache and utilize image data through the entire editing pipeline, resulting in less memory usage and faster importing and exporting of image files.

After the end of the story Eleyna acts as her foster mother, adopting quite strict methods of reeducation. Even though she calls Meracle an 'Alleycat', she is shown to be quite fond of her due to Meracle idolizing her as a book character she liked and asked her to tell her more about this 'Eleyna the Holy Maiden'. Eleyna said that she characterized her exactly to the letter. They left her in her hideout after she said she needed more rest after performing additional augury of the future in which they fail in saving Sarah, that proved to be too hard to withstand without fainting as she saw the images of total destruction of Roak.ĭespite her arrogance she accepted Meracle's claims of disappointment well, that lady Eleyna is supposed to be rather beautiful, wise and kind. She helps out the party though by giving them the secret card to get through the Purgatorium. Therefore she convinced the party members to just stop the cultists of Church of Sydonai as Edge and his friends are not meant to destroy Asmodeus himself. On top of that she is very skilled in the art of fortune-telling, performing the auguries which are much more accurate than the common methods of seeing the future. She is very blunt in describing those cultists and never fears to call them bona-fide idiots without hesitation. She is also very inteligent and resisted all the attempts of Asmodeus' worshippers of Church of Sydonai to either recruit her into their ranks or to kill her instead. Eleyna is very egoistic and knows she is loved. Meracle respected Eleyna very much but was greatly disappointed when she turned out to be arrogant. Although her house is burnt down by Asmodeus worshippers and the party is teleported into an underground cave where they meet her. When they get inside it is blocked off and remember that Eleyna was mentioned before so they go to Tropp. They think that she was taken to the Purgatorium so they set off there. After certain trials with the Stone sickness Sarah is kidnapped. She is of course a powerful sage and is respected throughout the land. She says that she is her friend who lives in Tropp. Story Įleyna is first mentioned to the party in Astral City just after rescuing Sarah Jerand. They are the ancestors of Roddick, a hero born some 300 years later. Eleyna eventually settles down and has a family with an Earthling who was transported to planet Roak during the events of Nox Obscurus. Her powers extend past that of the average clairvoyant, for she is capable of seeing through all of space and time, including the past and present. A fortune teller from Roak in the 10s (S.D.).
