Painting

I am a beginner in the art world and found that I have a profound love for paintings, ewspecially oils. Just out of college and just landed my first "Real Job" I am finding that I don't have thousands to pay for artwork by established artist, but find joy in the beauty of the work I see on the streets and at art fairs. However I have a few questions for anyone that would have knowledge as to the following. When I speak to street artist, I am always asked to make an offer. How do I know what is fair? And how do I know if I am paying too much? Also do "Real Artist" need to be registered, and do their paintings need to be registered. Don't get me wrong, I love the peices I have, and feel they're worth every penny I have paid for them....I guess that by this comment alone I may have answered my own question, But I would still like input if anyone can share their expertise. Thanks Lynda

Hi, does anyone know of a piece of art that shows the transparent , kind of "ghostly" images of children playing in an old schoolyard? It's title is something like "Schoolyard Memories"? It was for sell in the 1980s. I've looked everywhere for it but can't find it....help?

What would you paint or draw? if you had the chance to express yourself. What would you be able to share others? express what you feel, and what would be good ideas for coming up with something, that would be put up to be judge. Say your opinions or what you feel like saying today! take out your ideas and throw them out!!

I am used to using a gloss enamel paint brand called Testors for craft projects. I was wondering if there was a way I could use acrylic paint but make it glossy somehow? I am not familiar with acrylic paint so can I add a gloss varnish to it, ie. mixing it into my acrylics to make them glossy beforehand or spraying the varnish as a final coat to gloss the craft items? Any advice much appreciated!

I am an aspiring artist who regulary paints as it is a hobby i find interesting and enjoy. Many of my friends and family ask me to create paintings for them on a regular basis and have also commented that i should showcase and even sell my art. Does anyone have any ideas on the best way to do this. Ebay is my only idea so far.

I have recently tried to make my own website showcasing my paintings but it was too much of a hassle. I've found someone willing to design, host, and register the domain, along with monthly updates and other goodies for $30 a month. So the first question is- is that a good price?

Second I know what I pretty much want on my website but I was wondering if you had any examples of an artist's website that caught your attention. Especially one with a statement/resume on it. I would like to look at a few to get an idea.

Thank you to everyone who answers!

This is oil on canvas approx 3ft x 2ft. I cannot read the signature in the bottom right corner, but I need to know if it is worth having it cleaned professionally.
Does anyone know this painting please?

I really like this artist. But sometimes it is difficult to understand him because he goes in to many directions. I haven't read any good interview of him. Just one by Robert Storr.

I recently visited savannah and purchased a beautiful painting from a street artist. However It was on canvas and unframed. I thought such a beautiful painting should be adorned by a finished look (Frame) Is this possible? The sides of the canvas have no paint finish at all and simply looks like tape. What would be the proper way to display this painting?

This guy on ebay is selling a painting, painted by himself as #2 of 5. He says he's been trained in art in college. To me this makes no sense. Isn't each painting considered an original and one-of-a-kind painting? http://tinyurl.com/ehdx3

The package for this product features a painting known as Syndics of the Cloth Hall, which was painted by Rembrandt van Rijn; the fact that Rembrandt lived in the Netherlands gives the product its name. What is the product?

I'm painting a sign for a client. I need to be able to wash over the paint to clean the windows, but be able to scrape it off when the time comes. What type of paint won't show the brush strokes? Or is there a primer that I could use under it? Help!

So far anything I've read, O'Keeffe was still only painting flowers when she first visited Taos. Could there be another town that she was in when she first started painting skulls with flowers?

Do you have any idea of alternative artists, who paint or print in a similar style? Canter's style seems introspective and has apealing abstract attributes.
