Visual Arts - April 2007

I know this question has been asked from a regular perspective but I am curious about the way the brain is able to see something and replicate it on paper.
-Why is it that people with an innate hability to draw do it so easily? -Is there any refference or research that could describe this? Some researches have found out that women's brain are different from men's brain do you you think that could apply on this as well? I assume that women are able to feel more due to their differences in brain patterns but I wonder if that is the case in people that know how to draw well. Different brain patterns or connections?

I was given a very inexpensive set from China last year that were absolutely super-zip ... and I am looking for something similar made here in the West ... why were they super-zip ? (pardon me!!!) ... oh, because they were all sort of pastel and faint in colour but beautiful ... the way they all worked together ... for example there was no plain blue, just an indigo and a pale turquoise that were just perfect ...and two beautiful violets, nothing abrasive, just lovely colours ... brick, and pale greens, dark red and pink ...... someone in China must have "colour theory" down pat ...
I was rocked!

Of course, I should not be surprised ... their painting tradition is centuries old.

Thank you

What is the name of the product that you put on your glasses and takes the scratches out. I seen it advertise about three weeks ago but forgot the name of it. They showed that you put a little bit of this stuff on the lens and rub the lens with a cloth and the scratches came out on TV. Also, have you used this product?

I have seen this painting only in one place, a hospital, and have never been able to find it. It has Mary holding Black Jesus baby, maybe he looks 9 months old, and he is turned from her looking directly at the viewer of the painting, very life like. This painting created an epiphany in my life, when my wife was dying, and I would like to see if I can find it on the net. thank you!

I need some ideas for an art design, can you guys give me some ideas of things that are long-pill shaped? (ex, banana, band-aid, skateboard, cigar...) kind of like 0 but longer.

does anyone know how Leonardo created that 3D effect on Mona Lisa? -that her eyes follow you wherever you go- i believe it's a kind of perspective trick, but i need the detailed explanation to try it myself. is there a reliable source on the net explaining his method, how he did it and how an artist today can practise the same. or is it still a secret???

I've been using Photoshop to create some mediocre paintings. The problem is my mouse is so sensitive that I can't get the lines I want. I am looking for one of those tablet things and was wondering which one I should get. I am a starving college student so please bear in mind that I do have money restrictions. I have found a few wacom tablets for about $100 but I didn't know if I should get it.

I'm looking for some pictures or any kind of artwork of mermaids. I'm NOT looking for cartoons, or anime. I saw some very "artsy" beautiful drawings once on a site, but cannot remember where it was. I'm especially interested in pictures of a mermaid with a human man. If you have any links or any site names I'd appreciate it.

I want to insert a thin copper rod into the piece before I do the final firing. I want the rod to remain permanently embedded. Using a permanent glue has been tried, and I'm unhappy with the results.
