Visual Arts - October 2007

I personally looooove drawing the human form. I especially enjoy drawing people who have unusual bodies. The other day, I googled for pictures of scoliosis and anencephalies, and I think I did a pretty good job. I drew one of the infants on a bed of wild flora. :)

How about you guys? What can you draw over and over again, and never tire of it?

Are there any conditions under which you would pose nude? This question appertains to men as well as women?

And what distinguishes a Modigliani or a Sickert nude (the basis of Alfred Hitchcock`s `Frenzy` nudes) from a `Playboy` nude?

I've been using polymer clay for 10 years now. I've read about a few polymer artists selling their artwork on ebay now I'd like to do the same. I've been an ebay user for about 4 years now.

I currently have a buyer account though I'm interested in getting a seller's account. I looked at the "how to" page on the site and it looked kinda hard.

Anyone know what is required in getting a seller account on ebay?

Just but a Sigma sd14 and it's on it's way with the kit lense 18-50 mm 3.5-5.6 dc lens. I already have a manfrotto head and tripod and a pretty decent flash and an extreme III contact flash card. I want to broaden studio experience and will be using a friends studio so I really don't need studio equipment just yet. Don't have a whole wack of cash but choices for upgrade are to upgrade the lense (but which one), get a power grip (makes room for two batteries), get a wireless remote, actually buy the sigma flash that is dedicated for the camera itself, or perhaps another upgrade. I can't do everything all at once so I want to prioritize which upgrades I should do first.....any help would be greatly appreciated

Where do I begin to find this out? (I know it is valuable because in 1950 it was valued at about 475.00, I said valuable, not priceless lol) Any help would be appreciated.

When using acrylic paint, do you apply a base color first, or do you work around things?
Also, are there any suggested paintbrushes that would be good to work with?
Thanks

the form is of metal and has characters(letters) inscribed in form. The plate is 3 inches wide and 6 or 7 inches long. It is made of cast iron and appears to be a mold of some sort.

I don't understand why some people can spend well over 10 minutes staring at a piece of art. I like art too, but it doesn't change from staring at it like a Magic Eye. Please explain!

I'm still learning my digital SLR camera and am very confusde about F stop and shutter speed. But what F stop would you use at about sunset when the light can be intense in some areas.

I have a Nikon D50 and barely know how to use it. I'm not able to take photography classes right now, but maybe later when I have more time.

Any suggestions will be very helpful here. I have not seen the print, it has only described to me. I am looking to find the artist and find out where would be a good place to look. The way that it was described to me was that it was an abstract piece of a large butterfly. One wing of the butterfly was very colorful, as femine. The other wing was of stone, as masculine. The body of the butterfly there was a male and female heads that were about to kiss. Any help would be great.
thank you
