Anyway, when dog is done do I put hime in the oven? Do I glaze him? How do I glaze him?
Which clay should I get?

My mother has always said that she would like a watercolor done of our house, and I think this would be a great gift idea for her upcoming birthday. Does anyone know of a company or artist that can make me a watercolor if I send them a photo?

Thanks :)

What do you do with your real photos?
I do not want to put them into a book.
Is there a good method of storing them?
Please point me to a product.
Such as a specific box, etc...
thanks

I love to make icons/avatars and I also have a contest site on myspace, but when I try to make icons,avatars, and site model signs for my contest site they dont look good!
All I have is paint workshop and its not what I need

So all I need to know is if there are any free but really good programs I can use to edit photos

Thank you<33

So I have heard that there are places that will buy your pictures, like to use in books or calendars or whatever. I have heard that some people make really good money this way.

Do you know of any places that pay well for these kinds of things? I would like to look into doing some photography for calendars, etc. and just don't know where to start.

Any information would be helpful. Thank you.

I know he mostly did architecture/furniture design, and his wife Margaret MacDonald did more card/book/poster designs. I have to do a presentation on whoever designed this particular image so any help is much appreciated! PS I realize the website says Mackintosh by it, but I just want to make sure, I couldn't find any other sources.

Hi, Im interested in making moulds for face & body parts. I found a way to create my latex mould from a plasticene feature. ie a nose. Now I would like to fill the latex mould with another material to create a nice, flexible, soft feature.

Does anyone know what kind of material I need to do this & also where I can get it. I live in the UK.

Im also interested in making a cast of my face..Do you know the best material to use? Plaster of paris seems heavy, quick drying & hard to work with. Thanks!

Hello,

I'm an SF-based wedding photographer. I've been dealt with almost every lighting situation possible, but I'm still really curious as to what other photographers do in low-light situations.

I usually tend to shy away from using my speedlite flash as much as possible -- if I do I use a lumiquest softbox diffuser... but I'm looking for other alternatives... Do you use any special technique to achieve a nice photo without ruining it with flash? I shoot with a canon 30D and a f/2.8L 24-70 lens the majority of the time... the lens is really fast which helps...

Looking forward to hearing your answers/suggestions!

First, how can I tell for sure if it's acrylic vs. oil? Second, is there a special gesso for acrylic? Third, there's a very slight (almost unnoticable) dent in the canvas. Any way to repair this? Would adding some sort of texture help? If so, what are some ways to do that? (Sorry for my ignorance. I'm almost exclusively a pencil artist. I haven't painted since high school!)

FYI: It is a very ameauturish painting. Just black paint on what looks like a naked gesso background. The subject matter is unmentionable. I got a strange look from the store clerk when I bought this and a fellow customer was very vocal about her discust!!! There are just no words to discribe how ugly this is!!

Please, help me! I would love to put this poor canvas out of it's misery!!!

I got a Speedlite 430EX that came with my Canon Rebel xti and I don't have a clue as to how to use the thing or why I should use it over the regular built in flash. I did read the manual but i don't know how to apply what it said to my camera. For example.. what is flash exposure lock? What is high speed sync good for? Why would i need a "trail" in Second Curtain Sync? I semi understand bounce flash althogh it doesn't ever seem to do what i think it will. Any tips with that? And why is there a zoom option on the flash? And what wide panel are they referring to? Any help would be godsend, thanks lol. Oh and what is a slave? And while i have a whole stream of questions, why even with the flash on in my house can i not get a even semi decent speed in AP mode. It won't even go over 1/50 ever. Usually it stays alot lower than that, sometimes in the 0'' range.
