I'm quite good at drawing, but am rubbish when it comes to using paints. However, I want to try my hand at a painting to present to my best friend.

I'd like to do it a canvas, but wondered what paint would be best to use - bearing in mind that I'm relatively new to painting, and that the peice of work I wish to create will adopt a 'cartoon' style (think Powerpuff Girls)?

Visit www.philiptsang.com
This artist spent his whole life to pursuit the art, just as many typical artists stories, the fine art is not for making living but just for hobby. Well, how you think about his work?

A man wants me to paint a portrait of his daughter on the wall above her bed. Now, I know this may not necessarily constitute as a mural, but I'd like to use your suggestions for future reference. I don't think it will be too hard... probably around medium on a difficulty scale. And I'll probably charge based on size... but how much on that rate?
I don't have a lot of experience, (did two murals before) but I have done several paintings/drawings. I have a lot of talent, and people have always been VERY impressed with the results.

I want a good price for both parties involved; I don't want to overcharge the guy, but I don't want to shortchange myself, either.

I have been using pastels off and on again for years, and I am thinking of getting into it again.... I've wondered about fixatives, I have always used unscented hairspray- but I am wondering if this is a good practice, since it is not made especially for art?
What kinds of fixatives do you use and is the pump kind better than the spray kind? Any imput would be great! Thanks, guys! :) SD

i visited a hookah bar (i think it was fumari..not sure though) in downtown san diego and saw a painting there that intrigued me. i'd appreciate it if anyone could name the painting/artist:

it comprised of two partially(?) naked ladies adorning ornaments with their backs facing the viewer beside an elaborate column. i think the painting was egyptian.

thanks.

I believe the artist is a folk artist, with the houses looking surreal.

I am actually looking for a picture of a home overlooking the beach .
The artist is similar to Charles Wysocki.

On Antiques Road Show in Miami a woman had a large picture of a little girl with waves splashing on her that was also a cover of the Saturday Evening Post in 1921. Who was the artist who painted it?

David was at Viewforth Secondary School, Kirkcaldy, Fife, Scotland around 1965 and his art teacher was a Mr Heggie. David's art-work then was fairly brilliant; I recall a landscape painting of a line of cavalry charging on grey horses, copied from a famous original. Would love to know if he's made a career out of painting.

Unpaid model is clothed. Artists depicts without clothes. Ethical?
Are models consenting to whatever representation artist presents (perhaps unknowingly)? Fine Art question.

I'm just curious if anyone has ever used any 'non-name-brand' paints before, and what was your experience with them?
When I say non name brand I mean brands that are not seen in stores or if they are they are really REEEEALLY cheap. I tend to only stick with the higher end paints(and use only archival materials) because I would like my paintings to stick around a while, you know?
I ran across a website that sells 'Venus' oil, watercolor and acrylic paints for like 2.50 a tube. And they have some good colors but I am cautious because I have never heard of that brand before. I even looked it up and can't find anything about them or anyone who has used them, but I'm new here (and loving it!!! You guys are awesome!!!) and thought maybe someone here has used them?
Artists used to mix their own paints, they may have had their formulas, and todays paints are made to certain standards (which have to pass certain tests)-- I mean,could they be all that bad? I had to ask!

I've had a brief look on the internet, and there doesn't seem to be an awful lot.

I have seen some obviously good pieces on ebay but many of them seem a little digitalized. The reason I say it looks digitalized is because most of the time they only offer one low resoultion picture of the piece. If I was going to sell a piece of art, I would offer at least a dozen pictures; which included at least a few macro shots. It seems common sense. The problem is I am tempted by some of these prices. Any tips? Please, no responces by people who just support ebay.

Two paintings to the same man. Yeah, I'm bragging a little but It’s nice whenever artists get validation for their efforts. I didn't get rich from the sale and will still have to go to work in the morning.

But still ....................... cool!!!!!!!!!!

The first one, ‘Quagmire’, has always been one of my favorites and was painted during Project Greenlight. I’ve actually already sold it once but traded several other paintings to the collector to get it back.

The second one, ‘Collecting Samples’, I consider silly fluff, just something I slapped on canvas because I wasn’t in the mood to do anything serious.

Here is a link to them if you're interested: (click on the photo to enlarge them)

Painting with acrylics & oils. On a canvas paper 16x20. I am not good but I want to make this picture so someone can hang in their house, this is what they've asked me to do as a gift and I don't have any ideas.
