Visual Arts - December 2007

Hi, I'm currently working on a Byzantine inspired religious iconography painting and would like to use some sort of gold material that appears almost like gold flakes. I was wondering if anyone out there knows what's the best material to work with to achieve this effect. Gold foil? Gold powder? Gold flakes? All tips greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I do not currently have access to a dark room like I once did. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what ideas worked best for them when creating a dark room in their apartment. I have a small bathroom that could possibly work and an even larger walk in closet. Any ideas? Suggestions? Tips? Hints? Necessary items? Unnecessary items? Things that worked for them? Things that absolutely did not work? I am planning on only doing b&w photography. Do you have any suggestions on the most affordable and durable equipment?

The only thing I can find is rotate the entire canvas which I do not want to do. I just want to rotate one specific thing in the picture slightly.

I'm using full Photoshop 7.

Ever need Bubbles (airborne, or bath type) for a photoshoot, but needed to make them last for an entire set? What did you use?

How about beer suds?? How'd you get them to last, aside from drinking one to refill it (my preference)?

Need a smoky set, but no generator?? What did you use?

Any other do-it-yourself tips?? Lighting, effects, backgrounds, props??

Hi all.

I'm doing a project for my Colour Theory class where we have to paint a still life of three objects using acrylic paint. However, I'm having trouble rendering the objects in my painting. With black and white, I had no problem but with colour, it seems a lot harder than just using different shades of the colour of the object. Can anyone give me some tips or maybe some websites to help? Thanks.
