Visual Arts - May 2007

I am a new artist,and I wonder if the regular paper that I have used can be turn into an archival piece like acid free paper using chemicals available in the market today? I am asking this question because I want all my work of art to be archival.

I am entering a wildlife art contest and just wondering what your opinions are. If I found a picture of an animal I want to draw, do you think it is ok to copy that photo exactly, as in make my own rendering of it in pencil? I do not want to copy a photographer's work without permission. But is it different when you're drawing a picture exact from a photo?

I've been asked to illustrate a front cover and then 12 inside pages. The cover is the main artwork, then the pages are like one main icon plus some bits from the cover. The whole thing needs to be designed as well as illustrated so I need to put backgrounds and fonts etc into it.

I've seen many coffee shops and boutiques displaying paintings by local artists for sale, but now that I'm interested in buying I can't remember where to look!

Does acrylic paint work well on silk? If not, are there any products or additives that might alleviate this? Does acrylic paint work well on glass? What if the piece is hung in a sunny window--will the paint bubble & peel?

It is a community college art class and this will be my first time posing and I'm a little nervous. Any tips that anyone (either models that have posed before or students that have painted a life model) can give me would be helpful. Thanks!

This question is in relation to a school project about mixing colors. I've looked at some books , but they mostly assume the presence of the color blue already. If I'm doing a watercolor painting, can I create the color blue from scratch? Thanks for your help!

I'm taking a trip to Florida in July and I need the scoup on neutral density filters. I have a Nikon D80 w/18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 lens and I want to shoot great sunsets on the beach, and I hear tell of how well [some] ND filters work. But I am totally befuddled on which type to buy. Sure, I could get a ND .6 graduate that will screw on to the lens, like a circular polarizer, but the problem is with where the graduate line is. It's in the center, which would work great if I wanted the horizon in the center, but what if I'm using the rule of thirds with regard to landscapes? Does it matter? Or should I go with a slot system, where I would attach a gizmo to the lens and have adjustment with the filter [choice of what I can apply the 'gray' in my shot to diffuse light], does it work like that? I've read about Lee, all good things, but price is a concern. Any good brands that are cheaper, any alternatives?

I appreciate all suggestions in advance.

I overheard someone talking this weekend about a picture they received as a gift. The picture actually is a series of photographs that look like normal things at first (ie a building or tree), but when you hang the photo up and take a few steps back, each photograph is a letter that spells something.
For example, the letter "O" might be a beach ball. And, these can be custom created to spell someones last name.
Has anyone seen this before? If so, where can I get one?

There was a painting that I saw years ago in a magazine (it might have been GQ) that had a painting of Jesus having just the best laugh. It wasn't sacrilegious at all (please I really am not interested in that kind of stuff.)
I thought it was a really nice painting and I was wondering if anyone was familiar with it and who the artist was.

Which water colors are better? water color pencils or the tubie paint ones?

I know that pencils can do both pencil work and water color but besides that.

...but no matter how many times I catch the fish in focus, the picture still comes out blurred. I turn off all the lights in the room so I don't get a reflection of anything on the glass then I get really close to the fish from the outside and focus. I'm using the kit lens and the fish looks really good when I'm looking at it through the viewfinder...but when I take the actual picture, the shutter is still slow so I only catch a blur from the fish. I'm currently set at 1/10 F5.6.

Please help.
