Should I replace all my art work with black velvet portraits of Elvis?

I’m thinking of getting rid of my van Gogh and Renoir prints and building a shrine to the king… is black velvet the way to go?

I SWEAR I asked myself the same question! For real, since I moved back, I do not have 1 single painting hanging on my empty walls, even my van Gogh & Monet (fakes) I have 2 lg. Watercolors, framed in oak, double matted & museum mounted. From a very famous Wi. artist & friend. Plus 1 other lg. print #’erd & signed that I gave to my daughter. After 30 yrs. I’m SICK of looking at them, VELVET ELVIS great to look at… very difficult to keep dusted. Ya got my Elvis vote …

How do I make a celebrity pop art portrait?

I want to paint some celebrities on canvas with a pop art influence. I plan to have just one color for the background. What’s the best way to transfer an image onto the canvas? Im not skilled enough for freehand and my stencil didnt work out. Help!

The first thing you need to do is cover the canvas in your background color, because you’ll be putting the outline over that.

Well, the thing about pop art style portraits is they have really high contrast, so I would suggest getting a photo of the face, and photocopying it a few times, increasing the contrast on the copier each time, until you have a pretty much black and white image. This will define your contours. Then enlarge it to the size you want to paint it (you might have to do this in sections, depending on the size of your canvas).

Then, stick the photocopies together, and place them face down on a lightbox if you have access to one, otherwise tape them to the window with image facing away from you. Get a soft lead pencil (I’d recommend 6B or up), and trace the outlines of the shapes that make up the face (these will mostly be the shadows cast by the features rather than the features themselves).

Then position the copies onto your canvas, with your tracing in contact with the canvas and the copy facing you. Then ’shade’ along the lines you traced with your pencil, applying enough pressure to transfer your traced outline onto the canvas.

This should give you a faint outline that you can then follow to paint the dark areas and create the face.

Good luck :)

Edited to add: Liquin is not a glue, it’s an oil painting medium (I’m an oil painter…) and if you use it as the poster below has suggested, it may well stick the paper down, but it will also make the surface incompatible with acrylic paint or any other water-based medium you wish to use. Unless you’re painting with oils you have no need for Liquin. If you do go with the method suggested below, just use spray adhesive.

Ulysses has been labeled dirty, blasphemous, and unreadable. In a famous 1933 court decision, Judge John M. Woolsey declared it an emetic book–although he found it sufficiently unobscene to allow its importation into the United States–and Virginia Woolf was moved to decry James Joyce’s “cloacal obsession.” None of these adjectives, however, do the slightest justice to the novel. To this da…

viewing photos without printing them off?

I paint portraits and find printing off pictures quite expensive -what do you recomend to let me view them whilst painting. would a portable dvd player dothe trick
i usually print off the picture but they are always getting dirty so i have to keepreprinting them.

An answer may be possible if you can explain how you paint portraits without being able to see them as you work.
—edit—
Okay, I think maybe you paint portraits from photos and the photos are digital? Just view them on your computer or burn to DVD and view them on your TV. If you need something portable, get a notebook computer or portable DVD. A portable DVD player is going to have a small screen unless you spend enough on it to have bought a notebook computer.

This 1977 documentary was produced toward the end of O’Keefe’s life, at a time when the artist was at one with her art and her life. The hour-long film plays mainly off of O’Keefe’s own words; there is no narrator’s voice, there is barely an interviewer’s voice. O’Keefe speaks alone–with a soft, gentle eloquence that we can also hear in her paintings, a well-articulated firmness that is unintimid…
