I make my panels the same way, but use 16mm thick, 40mm wide strips of MDF instead of wood. I also glue two strips on the back and screw on the little brackets with rings (I don't know what they are called) that hold the hanging wire. It is easier than having to do this after the painting is...

Has anyone here experimented with acrylic-modified calcium sulphate composites? They are available under different names, such Jesmonite, from the company in the UK that invented it about 40 years ago. Other brands I know of are Acrylic One, manufactured in the Netherlands, and Material One...

Correct, also in English. Nabokov was born in Russia, but left as a young man and lived in Germany and the USA most of his life. I could never understand why he did not win a Nobel Prize, although he was nominated a few times.

I think the ability to pun and other word play types of humour are indicators of intelligence. The author Nabokov, one of my heroes, excelled at multilingual puns that work across three languages (English, French, Russian). The parallel reality world in his novel Ada has no electricity, and...

The only way I can see the correct values is to cut two holes that correspond to squares A and B in a sheet of paper and then overlay it on the image.

Yes, the brain can be deceived easily. This is still one of the best examples, where A and B are the identical shade.

Thank you for your response. The nature of my sculptural work necessitates precise parametric specifications, unlike a more expressive, direct sculptural technique. For that reason, I find that Rhino 3D is the ideal software for me in the Windows environment, since it allows me to enter precise...

Welcome, Endersaka. Glad to have another artist who is interested in using software as a creative tool. In my case, I use 3D modelling software almost exclusively in my work flow, so I am sure we can have interesting interchanges on digital matters.

You could try focus stacking with automatic alignment. Taking photos for web sites is a topic that interests me greatly. A question about the image you posted above: did you adjust the tone curves to get a centred curve? I played with it and adjusted the tone curve to get this: I would be...

Salvador Dali, Gala and Paul Eluard, Philippe Soupault, René Crevel, Robert Desnos, and Benjamin Péret, among others.

Ha, I liked the way you showed that chair who's the boss. Nice moves, by the way.

Thanks, I was just wondering.

Thank you, Christine. Has the official title changed? It used to be Creative Spark, but I see you now call it Creativespark.
