How do you make a collage using photoshop? I want the background to be a solid color such as black and then add pictures on top of it. Thank you

What were the people in medieval times that wore black masks and cut peoples heads off? They did it for executions, like in braveheart the movie how Mel Gibson died, he had his head in the wooden things and they cut his head off from that

I was making some drawings in paint and need to get an example and draw from first, I was wondering if anyone knew.

My husband has had these large signed figurines for the last 15-10 years. He is convinced they are worth a lot of money. He paid $375 when he purchased them. I don't believe they have gone up in value tremendously. Does anyone know? The 3 that he has is "Hurty Jerty Man", "No Loitering" and "Making Up" I would like to get them scheduled on our insurance but I have to get a price first. Thanks

I purchased two oil paintings in the Dominican Republic. One is 30 x 40 and another 12 x 32. I went to several places, including Michaels and they are charging $600 to put them on a stretcher, including a fabric mat and frame, which is more than what I paid for the paintings ($400). I paid a lot less for art framing in Miami!

plate reads as best as I can make out- "Real A. Bros China- Iron Stone." At the top of the script there is a figure of a royal crown. Each plate is individually marked and numbered. The decor of the plate is painted in reds, blues and flecks of gold. At the center is a vase holding a mix of flowers, wild and others and at the rims on three sides are drawn and painted within circles (smaller plates?) a kind of bird - or may be chicken.
Can anyone help me identify this plate and lead me to where I might find additional info as I am preparing to put the plate (s)
on the market. I also think that there is a possibility that the plate (s) is circa1888s. Thanks so much for your help.

Jacques-Louis David is one of my favourite artists. The neoclassicist movement would be unthinkable without his memorable paintings. I particularly love his "Death of Marat", "Tennis Court Oath", and "Death of Socrates".

The man embodied many contradictions, something I can definitely relate to. A friend of Robespierre(an idol of mine), he pledged solidarity to the death; in his famous quote he promised Robespierre "If you take the hemlock, I shall, too." Of course, he survived Robespierre's fall from power, did not take hemlock, and was imprisoned for a time.

Released from prison, he aligned himself with Napoleon and his work became the quintessence of the First Empire style. For a man of revolution, a man who sketched Marie Antoinette on her way to execution, the embracing of a new royalty was quite a turnaround.

So I ask, was his service to his ideals(whatever those happened to be at the moment) or to himself?

These drawings look like frescos-using different grey shades to create a three-dimensional effect. they also appear in the
ceiling panels in Catherine the Great's Summer Palace.

I've seen some really cute prints done of a boy & girl in black/white with splashes of color. I don't know who the artist is, but I've seen tons of these prints. Does anyone know who the artist is?

Also, I haven't taken any photography classes, and I guess this is where I should start. I just don't know how to get started. What's a good camera to start with? Right now I've got a cheap Sony Cyber shot. I'd really like to learn how to do black/white/with color!! Is this done with editing software? Any recomendations??

Its kind of photoshopped. I don't know if its too photoshopped for my liking, but i kind of like it. What do you guys think? Or is it a bit vain if i were to use it as my display picture?

And sorry to ask this, as it is one of the most annoying questions but i really must ask, do you think i'm pretty? Might be a bit hard to tell as this picture is funny coloured.

I was wondering if there are any places that want scenic photographers that photograph scenery or weather (like lightning) for postcards and whatever and that pays for the photos. Any suggestions?
