I looked at the painting Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I (http://www.overstockart.com/poofadbli19.html) it was done by Gistav Klimt - http://www.overstockart.com/klimtgallery.html. It is a painting of a a lady called Adelle Bloch Bauer and I heared it was bought for a lot of money.
Can anyone tell me how much it was bought for and if it is the highest amount anyone has ever paid for an oil painting?

My brother got this kit today and it has no instruction manual. I'm not sure if you paint it right after you sculpt, if you bake it, or if you leave it overnight. If it's one of the latter two, how long do you leave/bake it for? If you bake it, what temperature?

I usually draw the ocean, ships, mermaids, animals, clouds. I sometimes want to create cool new art projects, I've only ever used Charcoal, paints, pencil, pen, and pastels. I also wanted to try stippling on black paper, I saw it online, but I didnt know what I could use to do that, someone did the stippling in color, and mostly white. I want to try new tools, and what can I do or use? Also What else can I draw, I need some ideas? I'm sitting here on the computer with markers, and a pencil, and charcoal, I also have paints. Help me out!

I have an ebay account but everytime I put up paintings no one buys them. It may be that not many people saw it or liked it, or maybe even that you have a feedback percentage and since I've never sold anything mine isn't good.

What do you perfer in paintings, people, animals, or fantasy creatures? Should I do abstract, or realism I perfer realism.

Can you give me any helpful tips on selling my work, or techniques. I really need some extra cash.

Should I sell pencil drawings, Charcoal drawings, or paintings?

Is it also true that white wedding dresses are hard to photograph? I also heard that light purple doesn't show up well but red is a good one. What about silver, gold, blues and greens?

I am planning to major in art history but am having trouble finding summer internships in the field. I'm willing to work anywhere for free but am especially interested in art from the 1930s to the 1980s.

I finished it early this morning. Normally I have no problems coming up with titles but this one has me stumped. I will tell you that the portrait is based on a character from a novel I read years ago called 'Catch-22.'

Please give it your best shot. You won't win anything but satisfaction if your title is the best one.

Thank you.

Should I have the canvas rolled up in a cylinder case? Should I ship it with the wood brace still intact? How can I ensure the buyer recieves it in mint condition with a minimum amount of hassle (and expense on my side)?

Art colleges and Liberal Arts Colleges with Art Departments teach theory and modern art without good basic training in drawing and painting. My main interest is in Classical Realism, Contemporaray Realism, Academic Art,Still Lifes, and Portraits. Where can I get the skills needed to become a succesful painter ?

I would like to put some pictures of my art on the web but I would like to somehow 'mark' them to prevent theft, if possible. Is there such a thing and where/how would I go about getting it? Does it cost anything, and how much? What do you you use?
Also, are there any other tips on putting pictures on the web?
How can I have a good quality image without the possibility of people printing them?Do I lower the pixels or what? I don't know much about these kinds of things LOL!!!! How can I keep my pictures safe? What about copyright? Does anyone know anything about that as well? Sorry I know this is more than one question LOL!!! Thanks!

Would alcohol make you more likely to say yes? And what if it were for real, but no pain or blood, and no loss of sensation in your lower body? How long would you stay in half?
