surface area as possible, then combine it
with the liquid in an
opaque glass jar.
Titan's
surface seems to be covered
with ethane oceans and an organic goo that may resemble the Earth's early
surface chemistry, but nobody knows for sure, because astronomers can't see through the moon's maddeningly
opaque orange fog.
A uniquely dense and
opaque atmosphere obscures Titan's
surface, which may be partially paved
with ice, dotted
with liquid seas, or spiked
with volcanoes.
I keep an
opaque spray bottle of it in the kitchen for spraying
surfaces that have come into contact
with raw meat.
Instead of the translucent washes of faint color seen during earlier periods, Martin experimented
with a palette of muted greys, layering paint to create robust,
opaque surfaces that serve as a bridge between her early and later works.
Unlike Barnett Newman, whose flat
opaque layers of even reds, blues, whites and browns emphasize the flatness of the
surface — after all it's a two - dimensional space, Francis draws
with a combination of translucent, semi-
opaque and
opaque pigments.
The resulting images balance the artist's intentions
with moments of chance, and a sense of the original object being something entirely new — a window that defies logic; a
surface that is simultaneously
opaque and flat, but
with apparently swimming depths.
There are shades of Diebenkorn, Pollock, Monet or Turner but
with a sense of the final object being something entirely new — a window that defies logic, and through which we can not see, a
surface that is simultaneously
opaque and flat, but
with apparently swimming depths.
If we adopt the screen then as the emblem of the contemporary optic, we presumably regard contemporary painting as somehow marking a return to a quasi-classical conception of its task as one of illusionistic affect... The intelligence lies in suggesting that materiality can persist as a key affective dimension of painting only if its terms are re-written... Recent paintings, like Michael Stubbs's work towards a diminished materiality, resulting in something more akin to the continuous
surface associated
with the varnished skin of an Old Master painting than to the
opaque porosity of a Hofmann or Still.
After coating them
with as many as eight layers of translucent or
opaque paints, he binds the initial blobs onto the
surface, producing gorgeous, intriguing, collagelike works that gleam
with luscious hues and palpable paint.
With some notable exceptions (which, in their highly physical translucency underscore the opacity of their contexts), Heilmann builds color to an
opaque surface.
From these vitreous
surfaces and the contingent patterns of color they form, Hubbard builds up three - dimensional compositions
with vibrant
opaque oils and auto - body paint.
The range of
surfaces she employs encourage new ways of looking at the spaces they are in,
with transparent polythene forming thin veils to look through, suspended
opaque paper forms creating holes or windows and shiny cellophane refracting the light.
These instruments Richter loads
with opaque paint that under varying pressures, glide over
surfaces, moves paint around or chip it away.
Attentive to the details of his surroundings, such as the curve of a green field on the horizon or the shifting shadows as they're cast throughout the day, Kelly builds up his monochromatic paintings
with thick layers of oil paint, creating a
surface that is impenetrably
opaque.
As
with all works from this period by Martin, Happy Holiday was begun by priming the entire
surface of the canvas
with an
opaque coating of white acrylic gesso, which is never fully covered by subsequent layers of colour.
Adding CO2 does not (at least not before the climate response, which is generally stratospheric cooling and
surface and tropospheric warming for increasing greenhouse gases) decrease the radiation to space in the central portion of the band because at those wavelengths, CO2 is so
opaque that much or most radiation to space is coming from the stratosphere, and adding CO2 increases the heights from which radiation is able to reach space, and the stratospheric temperatures generally increase
with increasing height.
Consider a somewhat extreme example where half of the spectral outgoing LW flux is within the window region (emitted by the ground
surface),
with the other half being emitted within the radiatively
opaque part of the spectrum from regions high near the top of atmosphere.
The overall spectrum emitted by the Earth is far from a planck distribution basically because the last diffusion
surface varies
with wavelength,
opaque lines being emitted from the TOA, at its local temperature, much lower than the ground.
For
opaque materials the tendency for the emissivity to vary
with wavelength is typically due to the physical size of the microscopic
surface features of the material.
I just tried jotting down, step by step, a sequence of events beginning
with evaporation from the sea
surface, absorption of latent heat, subsequent condensation at altitude into
opaque liquid droplets and the release of selfsame latent heat.
