Business AND visual arts? Or should I just take some painting classes on the side and really buff up on my managing/business skils?

its 1:02 pm I have one more canvas left I know I can paint that canvas and obtain all desires, but it's probably going to be another painting I have to discard, bella story and sea pearl. No i'm going to do that painting and not throw it away this time. Her feminie honor is counting me.

I am new to painting, and temperas specifically, but a couple of my paints are too watery straight out of the bottle. How can I go about thickening these (and ideally without a great investment of time beforehand)?

So far, I've tried flour, Boraxo, Palmolive, egg white and salt. Elsewhere on the Internet, I've seen recommended liquid starch or tempera powder, though I haven't tried these yet. The latter makes the most sense, but some of the colors I have in ready-to-use form aren't readily available as a powder (e.g., neon/light green vs. standard/dark green).

Cheers!

We were cleaning out my grandmothers house last month, And we found a painting that looks old. Is there anyway of finding out if it could be worth something? I am saying keep it but my parents are saying toss it or sell it at a yard sale for a couple of bucks. If you know anything on what to do, Please help!

Hi. I just recently started painting and decided to go with temperas. I found mine at Hobby Lobby and they are manufactured by Rich Art. The label states the paints are "brilliant, opaque, non-toxic WATER COLOR."

I have two free-roaming cats and no space in which to create a separate room for my painting. The cats don't seem interested in my paints to the point of even sniffing, but I'd like to know, with the exception of their directly consuming the temperas (as I never leave the paints unattended), if these can generally be considered "pet safe" paints? If not, what other paints might be deemed as such?

The principle ingredients are listed as: Water, calcium carbonate, clay, starch, attapulgite, non-toxic pigments.

Thanks in advance for any answers or leads.

Cheers!

Well, I am not able to attach the photo, but the picture is of a little african american girl with an afro, wearing a blue dress, holding a yellow sunflower(?) up to her nose. the girl dominates the picture but vaguely in the background there are partial silhouettes of a couple of sky scapers on either side of her. VERY cute picture. Needless to say (probably), it was probably painted by an African American artist. I hate I can not attach the picture, but I "hope" the description helps...Thanks in advance.

I've been asked to help a friend paint some designs on the concrete around her pool. What prep is needed for the concrete, and what kind of paint is used? Do we seal it after painting? Thanks

I have an old postcard and would love to know who the artist is.
The subjects are a lady seated in a long white dress with pearls at her neck playing a stringed bulbous musical instrument, and a man with a white wig dressed in a frock coat and white stockings leaning over her shoulder.
It is a delightful scene from a bygone age but there is no signature or date.
The picture is called "The Rehearsal"

This picture was brought out in 1980 and each print was individually signed by the painter

Or a three year old pre-schooler playing with paint?

Or perhaps by an established artist who was playing around with some new (and old) paint blending and shape manipulating technics?

Busting A Myth:

I've heard it said many times that abstract artists paint abstracts because they have no real talent or because they can't do realism. While it is that a few can't handle realism the truth is most serious artists (including the famous ones) start out doing life drawings, then move on to representational realism paintings. When they find this too restrictive they start abstracting realism. You say you can do what Jackson Pollock did? No you can't. Only Pollock could do what Pollock did. And it wasn't splatter painting.

My x girlfriend took a huge framed painting of my family on canvas I have, and she tore the canvas into 4 big pieces- Can a torn canvas be repaired? How much does something like that usually cost? If it can't be fixed i might have to throw it away..
