 Looking for a notary to notarize your document(s)? Many Americans have found themselves in need of a notary and have had trouble with finding a notary to travel to them. With the digital era in front of us you would think it would be easy to locate a reliable service to send a notary to your location and notarize your document(s), but that is not the case. Many of these signing services only deal with the mortgage industry leaving out the general public.

There are places you can walk into and have your documents notarized, but what if you have no means of transportation or bed ridden in a hospital? Maybe you just want to sign your documents in the peace and quiet of your own home without a line of people behind you?

You want to select a company that is committed to making your notarization a stress-free experience. There are many documents that need to be notarized and not all of them are easy on the family emotions to sign. For example, Hospitals and Assisted living facilities provide advanced directive forms which include Living Wills and Durable Power of Attorney for medical and financial affairs. Finding a service who is committed to making everyone at the signing feel comfortable and at ease during the notarization process may be harder that you think unless you know what to look for in a signing service.

Communication is the key to this process. Communication is used in a wide variety of ways such as customer-client relations, and internal/employee communications. You want a service who is going to walk you through the process and hold your hand the entire way. Therefore a company with great communication skills is a key factor in this notarization process. Email and phones are the main ways of communication now a days. Look for a service who is willing to communicate with you in ways that you feel comfortable.

Business and phones have changed many times over the years. Press 1 for this option and speak what you need. I just want to get to the right area and speak with someone. You don't want to wait for 10 minutes before you reach someone or end up yelling into the phone what you need because the automated voice can't understand you. Find a service who will pick up the phone and have a knowledgeable professional answer all your questions or concerns.

Emails is intuitive, efficient, and useful way of communication. Many of us prefer to deal with situations via email. Locate a service that will send you an email restating the signing location, who your notary is going to be, and what date and time will the notary show up to your chosen location. You want a company who is going to respond to your emails in a timely manner. No one wants to sit around and wait for a response that they need right away.

Key words to look for when browsing through websites to locate a mobile notary signing service that deals with the public are and not restricted to: Estate Planning, Family Trusts, Living Trust, Last Will and Testament, Employment verifications, Healthcare, Travel Permits, Title, Bill of Sale, Divorce Decree, Marriage License, Power of Attorney, and Bank Forms. These are just a few of the many documents Americans need to have notarized each year. If you come across a website with these key words more than likely you have found yourself a signing service that will cater to your needs.

 Acrylic paints are versatile and this is helpful for painting landscapes. Acrylics are thinned with water or an acrylic medium to create transparency and imitate water coloring. The tint is used from the container for medium consistency. Apply layers of paint to create the illusions of thickness as seen in oil painting.

10 Tips:

1. Sketch or draw the landscape from the original scenery, a photo, or from your imagination.

Use light pencil strokes, colored pencils, or chalk to sketch an outline. It is difficult to cover heavy pencil markings if creating a transparency element such as water or thin clouds. Outline drawing with acrylics to avoid pencil marks.

2. Use oil painting technique preparing the canvas surface with a primer only if the surface is rough. Use acrylic gesso for smoothing rough surfaces. Commercial paper and canvasses are primed for acrylics.

I like to prime my surface with white paint as it seems to add more body or richness to the second layer of paint. Or paint the background with various colors to mark select areas. For example: blue for the sky, green for forest areas, and yellow for a field of wild flowers.

3. Are you painting a scenery in the outdoors? A spray bottle of distilled water helps to keep acrylics damp or use retarders or slow dry mediums to keep paints moist.

4. Practice traditional paint strokes, experiment with different techniques, and let your imagination create other methods.

It is worthwhile to practice assorted brushing techniques that artists use. It is to your benefit to experiment with different strokes using thin, medium, and thick paint. If you are like me, you will experiment with other objects for creative effects.

5. Palette knives, toothbrush, sponges, cotton balls, craft sticks, paper, and other miscellaneous items create effects..

I find texture to be a challenge in landscape painting. Nature creates smooth, rough, stringy, and other assorted tactile sensations with plants, trees, grasses, flowers, and other flora. A tree trunk has rough bark, blades of grass are narrow, plant life varies with smooth to thorny leaves, bodies of water have movement, and rocks have assorted surfaces. Using different objects helps with bumpy, spotty, rough, and fuzzy. You will enjoy discovering and creating assorted textures with or without brushes. Many layers of paint will create texture.

6. Gather Tint knowledge.

Gain knowledge of primary, secondary, warm and cool and mixing colors. Red and green produces brown, blue and yellow produces green. The reason to understand color mixes is that nature is not one color. Landscape scenery utilizes many colors along with light, dark, and shadows producing reality to your landscape.

7. Make a Color Chart

Mix paints in small amounts to avoid waste. This is the importance for a color chart providing mixing portions. The chart is a permanent guide for accuracy and saving time. Acrylic paints dry quickly, mist with water to keep moist while working. An acrylic medium is mixed into paints for longer working times.
