How do I know what to charge customers? To start probably oil paintings and other types of paintings (acrylic?, pastel?).

Also, I know someone who does sort of sculpture using junk (like tin cans, etc). Can you sell that? And for how much?

Thanks.

I cant stand that. Its such a poor use of equipment and skills. I see it all the time and it drives me nuts.

I've got a Canon Powershot A570 IS

I've tried various apertures on the low end (larger opening) but I can't get the "blurred" effect in the background to improve the depth of field. Are there other settings that could come into play to improve this?

Not sure if this link will work, but using this "eHow" guide as a reference my best depth of field pictures are are below the quality shown in "step 1":

I want to buy a pad of "nice" paper for someone that is getting back into drawing portraits after a 40 year sabbatical.

This is all I know....they use pencil (a combination of hard for the rough outline, and soft ones for shading)...and they like to do them sort of large - thats all I was able to get out of him details wise {he mentioned that he was thinking about getting back into it while he is recovering from cancer - he hasn't done it since he was in highschool} - anyhow.....

I bought 14x17 inch 90 pound Medium tooth paper in "classic cream" (which if you ask me, looked very much like the white - but I'm no expert on the topic, ha ha)

Is this suitable for this application? or do you have another suggestion?

I was going to pair it with a picture frame and matt as a Xmas gift for someone who is literally impossible to shop for....

Thanks everyone - all input greatly appreciated.

from the photo? For example: imagine I want to paint a cougar and look at photos (taken by others) to help me depict that animal in a realistic way. Let's say I draw a cougar in the same pose as in a photo, but change the landscape...would this be a copyright infringement? What other changes would be necessary to make sure that I would not infringe ( for example, change the animal's pose, add another animal or change the lighting, etc.)? I totally respect wildlife photographers and appreciate what they have to do to get those photos, and I do not want to take advantage of them.

Any advice is greatly appreciated. (Links to websites as well)

Is a sunshield sufficient enough to use as a reflector?

I'm not a professional so I'm not looking for anything fancy. I need something inexpensive that will work, seeing as I don't have a job besides my occasional photoshoots.

Here's a look at my work so you can see where I'm at:

never understood why people would want to own a painting over $10 million. why not get a good artist to draw the same painting and save the money. if you had a eye for artwork, the paintings should express the same feeling.
