losing its crispness Explanation: although one runs the risk of smudging the shape and losing its crispness "crisp" is the opposite of "fuzzy", e.g. We define an optimal defuzzification of a particular fuzzy shape as a crisp shape which is as close as possible to the fuzzy shape. http://www.cb.uu.se/seminars/index.php?pid=abstract&id=52&la... |

"....backrunning the form" Explanation: "...although you run the risk of blurring and backrunning the form." 2. Backrun. The second mechanism, which restores even distribution of moisture, appears as backruns. These are created by differences in paper wetness, or unevenness in the distribution of moisture on the paper, which arise because the surface has dried unevenly or because you have added fresh paint to areas that are not completely dried. (Backruns have been given many other names in the watercolor painting literature, including blossoms, ozzles, halos, runbacks and watermarks. I like backrun because it describes literally the process at work.) The rule here is: wet into moist meaning that areas of more concentrated or greater quantity water or paint will try to flow into already wet areas of less concentrated water or paint, and so make the distribution of the water the same across both areas -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs (2009-02-05 20:23:34 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.handprint.com/HP/WCL/tech23a.html |

obscuring the form Explanation: That's my take on it. Hope this helps :) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2009-02-05 15:10:54 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- 'Relamida' hmmm.... The first word that springs to mind is 'overwork'. 'But on the other hand there is a danger: if you don't control the technique, the colours are spoiled and the resulting image is overworked and artificial' -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 days (2009-02-10 22:34:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Well if it was me, I would translate 'relamer' as obscuring, and 'relamida' as overworking; both are similar in suggestion, in that they both convey the same (advisory) message of the form being taken beyond a point of no return by either being 'obsured' or 'overworked' using this technique. Hope this helps :) Example sentence(s):
