Visual Arts - December 2006

I've seen pics where everything is blck & white, except 4 the eyes, pool, and/or flowers.
How can I do this WITHOUT photoshop, but w/ :
1. Paint
2. Paint shop pro 8
3. Google Picasa & Picasa 2
4. Microsoft Office Picture Manager
5. Picture It! 7.0
?????
If none of the work, what can I use THAT"S FREE?

PLEASE, use details
thank you :))

I saw an artist on tv that was using a paint brush to add shading to her drawing. It looked like she was using a graphite palette (it looked like blush, but with graphite instead). Can anyone tell me more about this?

This is just a survey I'm curious how many will respond to....

What defines a true artist (traits, gifts, expression) versus a fake.

List other arts than the obvious: drawing, painting, and music.

Hello!

I just got a new camera and I'm pretty new to photography.

It's a Kodak Z650. I want to be able to take very close up photos of my aquarium fish, and my ferrets.

It has macro mode, but I was wondering, the camera also has PASM mode where I can change the aperature, ISO, etc.What values should I set it at to take quality close up photos?

If more info is needed, let me know.

How many colors should a professional pastel artist have, at a minimum, to get realistic professional results for drawing any and all types of subject matter? Is 24 or 36 enough, or should I get 48?

I have done a abc book for my god daughter... my first attempt at scrapping I might add.... every one thinks it turned out really pretty...although I was not really satisfied... I tried to match my stock paper and embelishments to colors in my pictures.... but I did not do a very good job of matching my pages next to each other. I want to do a album with my familys old black and whites.... so what colors should I use. I have heard I should stick with brown tones... tans and yellows. So what to you think I need some advice please.
