Can I use MovieMaker to create claymation movies? Stop Motion Pro is referred to in some of the websites that I have been looking through.

Does Photoshop save jpegs to the highest standard? I think it is to do with compression. So far my The Gimp savings have failed to be acceptable.

I have been painting on and off for a few years just for my own pleasure. The problem is I never think i am any good and just give up half way through. I then get re-inspired to finish my painting (about six months after starting it) and just get frustrated again. I'm never happy with the end product. I'm not sure if this is normal and my paintings are ok, or if i just suck at it. I do enjoy it for the most part, and do think that i'm being harsh on myself. Can you honestly tell me if my paintings are any good or are they really bad? Please bear in mind that i've never had any classes and didn't even do art in high school.
Thanks (and please be nice - but honest)!

When it comes to doing abstracts I learned long ago that acrylics give you much more freedom to experiment with than oils.

The translucent effect in this painting is achieved by diluting the bright, solid colors and mixing them with clear acrylic gel. The diluted colors then become encased in the gel as the paint is applied, giving the appearance of an aura around the solid colors.

I tried getting the same effects last year with tempera and came close. But tempera is hardly permanent.

Can any of you, my fellow artists, gets effects like this using oil paint?

Let's say you were attending an important event as a guest, such as a wedding, and you had your photograph taken by the photographer hired for the occasion. When you later see the picture, you notice that it's been retouched.

It's tasteful and relatively subtle-- teeth whitened, a squinting eye opened, a blemish removed, a scar softened, that sort of thing. Would you be offended by this?

(I ask this as a photographer and digital artist who doesn't want to step on the metaphorical toes of my clients' guests.)

There is a pink tear in the picture and two men are playing musical instruments. They are standing on a platform which seems to be his collar. The men are made up of small lines. I saw it in a book called "Masters of Deception". I need it for my art class soon.

Where can I find pictures of faeries ready to be coloured in?

I am wanting a picture I have drawn laser etched on a headstone, but I have seen some that are in color, and am hoping to have it done that way...my drawing is a black and white pencil drawing. Can it be colorized on the headstone? Or does it have to be a color picture to begin with?

Anyone know how to add color to a B&W photo using Picasa? (e.g, adding color to just the t-shirt). My original photo is in color and I want to change it to B&W using Picasa and then just add tints of color to certain items (like make the eyes blue or a t-shirt pink, etc). Please explain how to do this step-by-step, if you know how. Thanks.

I'm a keen drawer and love to sketch landscapes and buildings. A friend has asked me to draw the Brooklyn Skyline for her but when i come to adding colour to my sketches i always seem to ruin it. I can't seem to find any materials that work with me - oils, paints, watercolours, you name it i've tried it. I've already done the drawing for her but now i need it to look more real - to add a bit of colour to it - to tidy it up!!

Any tips on how i could add a little colour / depth to my drawings without always ruining them?!!

Thanks :)

I just got a basic set of prismacolor pencils, but I am disappointed with the way it looks on paper. A lot of the with shows through no matter what. Is there a paper with a smaller tooth I can use or is this just going to happen all the time?
