We bought an antique painted tapestry and the woman we bought it from said that the method of painting was called 'succo d'erbe,' or grass juice. Can you help me out?

Hi! Up until now I haven't really spent much time thinking about paintings. Maybe it is because nothing ever caught my eye or I didn't have any money to spend or even a place to store art work, so I am pretty new to this. There is a particular piece I have started to become obsessed with and I'm considering collecting as my first. Okay several questions (from a newbie):

1. "Edition Size: 25" Does this mean the artist actually painted 25 copies or ...? Is 25 big, small, standard?
2. And with regard to the previous question, it says the artist re-created original painting called blah, blah, blah. So, is it safe to assume the "re-creations" (possibly 25 similar pieces) are not as valuable?
3. Which leads to another question. What risk is there of further editions? Thus devaluing the work even more?
4. How comfortable are you with bidding/buying pieces online? I can see a pic and read the add'l text, but would it be best to see it in person? It is in a gallery out of state.

I am looking for a class, a workshop kind of class in Woodland hills for learning oil painting (landscaping). I don't have any experience in this area but I would love to try it out. Do I need to begin with basic drawing? Do you know a place that I could check them out? Found one, which costs me $300, a month and they start from the very beginning. I hear that I don't need to learn something else for beginning the oil painting... is that not true? I am confused!

When you really need to get some sleep but she (or he) won't let you? When you've got some bills to pay but she (or he) thinks the money should be spent on more canvases or paint? When your girlfriend (or boyfriend) is expecting you over but your muse has other plans? When your muse refuses to keep normal hours like everyone else?

You ever wish you could sue her (or him) or that there was some kind of Used Muse Store where you could trade the wench in for a more co-operative model?

I finished this stupid thing about four o'clock this morning. I have no idea what it means but I'm pretty sure my muse does:

I need to resize an image from 10-12 inches, 600 dpi to 16-20, 300 dpi. Which is the best way to do this, change both simultaniously in the "Image Size" dialog box or change image size than reduce dpi. Destined for the printers so it needs to be good. Thanks.

This painting is at least 50 years old and was bought at a furniture store in Ada, Oklahoma. It was auctioned off long ago and all I have is this picture of it. Can anyone offer any clues to the artist or title, or anything else that could help me identify it?

If an artist were to do a painting of a well known photograph, would he get into any legal copyright trouble trying to sell his representation of that image?

Several days ago I found a small (8"x10") unused canvas at a local Goodwill and bought it for $1.98.

Last night I slapped some paint on this little puppy and here are the results:

Yeah, yeah, I know it sucks but even paintings that suck ought to have their own title to make themselves feel better about their place in life.

So, you want to give this stupid little painting a title? I'll seriously think about using the best answer.

And feel free to trash the artist's efforts here. After all, it's just a stupid little painting on a stupid little canvas.
