An artist I follow on Utube, painted some figures in water color over wet oil paint. I didn't know you could do that. So, I was wondering if alcohol inks could be put on top too. Posca pens I believe are acrylic so would the "peel" at some point?

Yikes! Suppose to be a reflection - but I see how you could get "funnel". I'll have to fix the reflection to match the cloud's shape. I have some other things to fix too (I won't bother to point them out). Thanks, JJ.

I painted on Yupo for many years - - with a Geso coat it behaved just like painting on board or canvas. Since Nara is made of the same stuff as Yupo, thought I'd do the same - but I can't get a good bond with acrylic - you can easily scratch it off with a finger nail. With oil, what seems...

Your 44million evaluation was 9 years old, the most recent price it sold for (3 years ago) at Christies was $103 million. Not a bad return

My tablet automagically connects - so the TV becomes a big tablet, just go to the gallery to view paintings.

I make representational paintings. Over the years I've made a handful of abstracts. I've not been that pleased with the results but others seem to like them. Which makes me like them even less. I always get the feeling I'm wasting materials, and I don't feel the sense of accomplishment that...

I was staying with it, till he started saying "weird art is promoting evil". He's for god, morality, and conservative beauty. It's kind of ironic that he's spewing all this while sitting in this oversized chair stroking a cat on his lap - like Dr. Evil

thanks Bart - Samsung has it. comes with a flush mount and an an external frame that clips around your tv and looks like a deep mount picture frame. You can get various colors and styles. Very pricey - but they look exactly like a framed picture - just like other framed pictures you might...

clients dying to have their portrait You don't have to be good - they won't complain -get paid in advance

More problems than that. The medium is the message. You watch TV, you look at paintings. Rooms with large TVs are often arranged so that the TV is the focal point. Chairs, couches, and other seating are arranged more to watch the TV and sit comfortably for an extended time. People will...
