If you could walk into any museum and walk off with any painting of your choice, no questions asked, what would you grab? ?
Favourite answer:Probably "Starry Night" by Van Gogh.
I've always liked it.
I actually have several smaller versions of it around the house.
one was a poster for MET LIFE, that has Snoopy sleeping on his dog house imposed over Starry Night....like that was the original painting.
I cut it out and framed it. I thought it was great.
there we go........found it......

Can artists make good money selling art prints?
Favourite answer:Not many do. Even America's greatest photographer, Ansel Adams, had to give lessons due to his poor earnings from prints. Most artists have to make money from teaching and how-to books. Many artists have to do advertising or paint plates. It is possible to survive. For a single person without big outgoings. Some do prints on eBay or eTsy. As well as their own websites because they take a big commission and fees for things like listing etc are high (eg compulsory 12% turnover on advertising fees).

Can an unexperienced artist join an art school and come out a really good artist?
Favourite answer:A major misconception about art school: Engineering schools turn the ignorant into engineers, medical schools turn the ignorant into doctors, art schools do NOT turn anybody who walks in into artists. Ignorant here meaning lacking knowledge like it is supposed to mean. They give existing artists the environment and resources to be able to explore art, generally.

Do artists discard of most of their work, or do they keep or sell it all?
I imagine that in order to develop your own style, you must make hundreds or thousands of drawings or paintings every year and only a small portion will be worth holding onto and even fewer will be good enough to sell.

Why did Picasso draw his paintings like stick cartoons?
Even if he wanted to use symbolism, he could have drawn paintings that seem like actual humans.. To me, it seems like he did it just to save time and convey the symbolism in the shortest time possible.

What should I tell my neice that wants to host a surprise "Painting" class for my sister's birthday?
My neice is always wants to do birthday events with lots of people right now and isn't concerned about COVID and wants to have a surprise birthday "Painting" event for my sister's 50th birthday. Before COVID, the Painting class had about 20 people, some of the people was with me, but some of the people was with another group. I do not know what safety precautions the class has now and my neice is insisting if anyone wants to come, to let her know soon because she needs a deposit for the class. How much I would like to be there for my sister, with the COVID cases going up in our city and state, I do not want to risk being in a enclosed room full of family members and unknown people who may have COVID or not. What should I tell her ?

What makes Bob Ross such a great artist? What attributes and skills does he have that makes him so?
Favourite answer:Ross helped to popularize a technique called "wet on wet". That is where you put down some background paint and then paint over with other colors, objects and details while it is still wet.
While on his show it looks like he is drawing a picture off the top of his head, in reality he sat down and sketched out each picture in advanced. He laid out what it would look like, where each object would go, what colors he would use, etc. He also had to determine how to lay out a design that he could paint in the limited time he had for his TV show. And then he painted each picture in advance. Often make design changes to simplify the painting so he could do it quicker.
When he got ready to film, he had the finished painting (plus sketches, etc.) setting just off camera where he could see them. And he "copied" the picture live for the camera. So there are (at least) two copies of every painting that he made. His master and the duplicate copy he made in front of the camera. (His painting current sell for several thousand dollars each. He produced over 400 paintings on his show.)
He kept his painting very simple. Usually landscapes with limited details so it did not have to spend three hours getting someone nose to like in a portrait. Trees that he could make with a five or six strokes of his brush and leaves that he could quickly dab on them. He only did one painting on TV with a person in it, and that was a tiny black image in the midground of the picture of a person in front of a campfire.
He did a lot of putting multiple colors on his brush so that he could do one dap and three colors in a leaf to give it depth.
He used large brushes to wash the back of his painting with color before he began to place objects on it.
All of them technique that any good artist should have in their bag of tirck.

I live in Denver, CO and I want a nude painting of myself! Where should I go for this?
Hey! Super weird request but Ive been doing some research and I wasn't able to find any information! I have an empty space above my fireplace and I think it would be hilarious and so awesome to get a nude painting of myself hung there. 4ft x 3ft or 4ftx 2ft. I also didn't want to break the bank doing it!
Any suggestions or ideas or links to people you may know would be great! Thanks in advance.

What do you think about this painting? What would you rate it?
This is my first time painting with oils. I haven't got much experience with painting other than grabbing the old brush on a lazy weekend. Please be brutally rude. Thank you :D
