Visual Arts (Arts & Humanities) - July 2006

oh my goodness jeez. this is frustrating me SO MUCH! Ok, so I'm trying to outline a picture in Photoshop, using the pen tool. I get my anchor set and try to "Stroke Path," but when I right-click, "Stroke Path" is gray, so I can't click on it. How can I fix this?!

How to mount a gemstone?

I am interested in making some jewelry. I found a site where you can buy loose stones and empty mountings (like rings). But I can't find anything that says how you do it. Do you just use plyers or is heating required? Someone with experience please help. Thank you.

Why am I a starving artist?

I've been painting for over 10 years and have a huge portfolio. My artwork has been televised, and praised over and over. People love my work, but why don't they buy it? Why would someone rather spend $500 on a reproduction at a store, then buy original art? http://www.nadiart.com

How does one get rid of their creative block and get back into drawing and painting wonderful pieces of art?

It has been 25 years since I've done anything worth showing and that was when I was in highschool.
I've tried many times but I just can't seem to finish anything I start.
I'd love to know how to open up my creativeness again and let it flow onto a blank sheet or canvas.

Do you know the names of these paintings?

Hi! When I was in England getting my MA, I had 2 posters up in my room of paintings. During the hectic leaving process, I left them behind & forgot to look to see who painted them. So, here are my discriptions if anyone thinks they recognize the paintings & know the painters' names, please let me know. I realize this is a long shot.... but....

1) a naked man sitting in profile, hunched over his knees (u can not see his face or anything xrated) sitting on a rock in the middle of an ocean or lake...

2) 2 women the 1st woman is facing forward, wearing somekind of turban looking head covering & has spectacular green eyes She looks like "she knows something that perhaps the other woman does not..." The second woman is crying & is leaning on the first woman for support.

It's not much.... but any leads might be helpful!!
Thanks for your help!!
