Do you just ignore the ground wire and shove it inside the box and move on? When I run the 12/2 wire to the junction box and add a circuit for it do I just clip the ground wire off and not worry about it as well? Thank you.
Mechanical is easiest. Just put in a moving part. Anything that causes a match to light a fuse would qualify as using both heat and chemical energy. Add an electrical motor to one portion and you have electrical energy. Hook up a motion detector to a switch and you have electromagnetic and electrical energy in use. As an example of all of these, have a match on the end of a lever. When the lever is moved, the match is struck and moved to the end of a fuse. When the fuse burns down, it lights a small firework, which moves a cart forward. The cart passes a motion detector, which turns on an electric can opener.
You have already recieved some good advice. Every artist has their own way of doing things. As for being a beginner, you just have to play with it. As many have said, oil takes a long time to dry. I left a pallet full of fresh, unmixed oil paint on Thursday, and when I returned today, Wednesday, it was all still very workable. !!!However, my painting was dry as a bone. Of course I only blocked in my shapes and still need to go into it and bring in the finishing details. One of my favorite mediums after Turp, is Japan drier. You can buy it reletivity cheap at a good home improvement store like Home Depot. Liquin is another good quality medium to speed up your drying time, and will give your painting a rich look. Working with oils is often a process of much layering and many glazes. Everyone usually developes their own style. After much practice. That's what art is all about. Practice practice and more practice. Before I begin an important painting in oil, I usually get into shape by painting a master study. What ever you do, don't fret, and don't let yourself get too discouraged, each painting you do you will become better and better. The best of luck with it, and to you. L.White
