I want to use drier to dry my oil painting. I just painted it, and I want to continue my work. So I decided to dry it by drier, BUT I don’t know if I need to dry it with the high heat or low?

I like to draw figure art, but not nude art (my morals are against it). I would like to know if there are any good sites to help an artist learn about the human anatomy (for proportions) that doesn't have any nudity in them?

...address poverty and disease?

If the Mona Lisa is priceless why can't the quality of the lives of 1 billion people?

It's just a painting...take a photo of it.

If you could sell the Mona for $1 Billion and put all those monies into a cancer cure how can that not be a fantastic bargain??

We have ALL seen it- that angular letter "S" that we used to draw on our school notebooks & see on walls on the streets. (at least in the cities)

You make it by drawing 3 lines next to each other then 3 more lines right under those, then connecting some of them to form a pointy, angular letter "S".

WHEN did that start??? Maybe someone over 40 (I'm 38) could give a bit of insight.

I remember seeing it back in the 70s as a kid, but it may go further back than that...

I have a Mabef M-11 A-frame style easel. As I was putting a canvas on it (using it for the first time), the canvas never really seemed stable enough to paint on. Also, there are these "canvas support" things that are like little blocks of wood that are on the spine of the easel....what are those for? Do I rest the canvas on those or on one of the shelves? Im obviously an extremely confused artist......

Hi. Our 13 yr old daughter has a real passion for art, particularly sketching in the areas of Japanese anime art. She has an amazing imagination for her drawings. I wondered if I can get some honest opinions on here of her work. Her drawings can be found on my Yahoo 360 site under "Sophie's artwork". This is only a select few.

I think she has a real talent but the question is how much for a 13 yr old really as the ones I have seen of this age group are not so good (or perhaps I am biased, lol!).

Anyway, I would love for her work to be recognised somewhere but where and at 13 she is a little too young?

I have my first solo exhibition coming up in Nov.2007. I have a strong theme, and I have many paintings started. The trouble is that I can't just sit there and work for hours like I used to when I had no pressure or dealines. An agent from the gallery is coming the end of Dec., and I have about 17 painting to show him, whichis not even close to the number they wanted to see at this point. I work in oil and acrylic, so I have no excuse. While an oil is drying, i can work on an acrylic. I have ideas, I just get half done and then feel paralyzed that it isn't good, could be better, etc. I have NEVER had this problem, and I've been painting for a long time. I'm starting to freak out a bit that my first solo show will be a huge flop because I can't get focused and finish things in a timely manner. I can start several large scale paintings in a day, but finishing them may be months. I just don't have that kind of time. Any advice?
