I am trying to figure out the name and artist of some oil paintings I have saved to my computer.?
Is there a way I can paste it somewhere online and have help from others to identify them?I am trying to figure out the name and artist of some oil paintings I have saved to my computer.?
You join a photo-hosting site like photobucket.com, and upload your pictures. Each picture will then be given a URL, which you simply copy %26amp; paste into a question. It will then turn into an active link.I am trying to figure out the name and artist of some oil paintings I have saved to my computer.?
Apart from photobucket (already mentioned), imageshack is another one you could use: http://www.imageshack.us
And there's also ';allyoucanupload';, which I've never used, but seems pretty simple: http://allyoucanupload.webshots.com/

How do I market and sell my original oil paintings?????
I am a local artist native to Austin but I have never tried selling my paintings since I've always painted for the enjoyment. I've had several people tell me I could sell my artwork so I've decided to do a little marketing but I need some help?
How do I market and sell my original oil paintings?????
You can see an example of a few of the paintings I've done on craigslist. I'm also curious to know what one might pay?

I like your work very much. You show a lot of promise. The landscape on the top right is fantastic! You need more feedback on your work and at the same time have it available for interested parties to purchase directly from you at your price. Join ArtWanted and post your work there. 20,000 artists are members and you will get comments on your work and you can name your price. Your stuff will look very good up with all the other artists. http://www.artwanted.com/artist.cfm?ArtI鈥?/a>How do I market and sell my original oil paintings?????
You have a lot of talent. Of course, you know that. I have a BFA and I paint, but ironically, my brother, who has a biology degree and an English degree is the one who is a professional painter. He does very well financially and has worked hard to arrive where he is (financially). The thing is, you have to produce a lot of art in order for the numbers to work in your favor. My suggestion is to paint subject matter for the market and, when you have time, paint other things for yourself. Don't spend too much time on any one painting. ';Crank them out'; and price them so that they are affordable, and have fun. One a day (if you can) and use acrylics (dries faster, easier to clean up, less costly, and is less toxic). Sell your paintings at outdoor art festivals. Lots of traffic. With the talent you have, you could do quite well.
you have to find a agent, and a gallery to display your work , you can try and hold a showing in a hotel or Private show room and invite local people to come see your work , to put you name out there, you can also try putting some pieces on eBay or your own web site and see what kind of response you get and from what kind of people are into work, so you know how to market to.
you could sell them to a gallery. but if you do sell them wholesale so that you get all that they're worth. if you don't you only get like 40% as they sell. or if there are any like festivels or something.
They are very nice...but I am more into desert scenery..I have 15 oils from various local artists and the most I have paid is $150 for a 16x23 oil that I found unique..they incorporated sand in the painting.
Good luck I'm sure you will do well.
As stated before..you could try a festival or local fair that encourages homemade crafts.opera ticket

I have 2 original oil paintings back during WW2. How much do you think they are worth?
There is 1 original oil painting of General Macarthur and then there is another one of President Roosevelt. They were painted by a soldier artist at Fort Meade on army tent canvas. He signed his name, J. Vogelman and the date is March 1943. I can e-mail pics if anyone might have a clue of how much they may be worth.I have 2 original oil paintings back during WW2.

sure, send me a copy, i've only seen one pix of his so far, and the navy has it, it J means jack...I have 2 original oil paintings back during WW2. How much do you think they are worth?
nothing .. i can't find nothing on this guy.. i seems that he was a unknown artist. the best way to findout about your paintings is to take your paintings to someone that knows about art or findout when the roadshow is going to be around were you live.
wow...these must be really something. I had an opportunity to visit the MacArthur Museum in Norfolk, VA. and it was quite an experience (he was history in himself for sure). I am not an expert in art, but you may want to contact that museum there in Norfolk and ask them. What a piece of history you! (I'm a veteran, so these are great). Also contact the Smithsonian for advise. How cool was it that they were done on tent canvas!
sure, send me a picture of the paintings, Jonathan vogelman is what I believe his name is, and a student of Flagg's, Flagg was the guy who painted the raising of the american flag at Iwo Jima. The army had several embedded artists who traveled around with dignitaries like Macarthur and Patton, and a few full bird colonels. thye acted as correspondents to washington but in a less active roll than were the photographers who by the way were employed as far back as Custer's days as a major. I'm sure the museum at norfolk would love to see these.
Did a search for J. Vogelman. Actually found a navel painting from 1967 by a J. Vogelman. I doubt if this is your artist.
Below is a link that will direct you to the military museum system. They might know something.
If I had to guess, I would say your paintings aren't worth a lot except to a military collector. And even then not that much.
By the way are they any good?

Oil Paintings - What is the difference between acrylics and oil paintings?
I was looking at buying a painting, from http://www.overstockart.com , I noticed that they use oils in their paintings instead of acrylics, what's the difference, between oils and acrylics? What are the other materials that are used for paintings?Oil Paintings - What is the difference between acrylics and oil paintings?
Oil paint is better. It can also be layered and layered, which is the method the old masters used (i.e. Rembrandt, Da Vince, etc)
It is, as stated, oil based. You cannot mix water with it.
Acrylic is a new plastic paint. You use water to thin and apply it instead of turpetine and other mediums.
Since you are just looking at a finished product, the medium it is painted with doesnt really matter since you don't have to worry about drying time or production time.Oil Paintings - What is the difference between acrylics and oil paintings?
oil is oil based, thinned with turpentine and paint thinners,
acrylics (plastic)are water based thin with water, now half and half
watercolours are another
http://painting.about.com/od/allotherpai…
Generally, beginners use acrylics, experts use oil-paints. Acrylics dry quickly, so that u can overpaint ur creation many times, during one session. Oil-paints don't dry at all during one session. If u're interested in buying paint-works, then I'd suggest u to buy oil-paintings, bcoz it looks richer than acrylics (u know what ...it's due to the fact that oil paint vehicles can hold more pigment than can acrylic emulsions). Most companies that manufacture acrylic paints use less pure grades of pigment when making colors such as cadmium red and cadmium yellow. One company, Winsor %26amp; Newton, is now marketing a line of acrylic colors that are made from chemically pure pigments. It uses pure cadmium instead of the cadmium-barium pigment that most other companies use. Now u haven't mentioned what type of artworks u're planning to buy. If it's abstract / perspective then acrylic is good. But if it's portrait or still-life then oil-paints are better.
From my own understanding and experience, oil painting is the old and traditional medium of painting and it takes a while for it to dry hence the term slow-drying paint unless if you apply tempera (egg) technique. And heck, you need to use turpentine and maybe some thinner to dilute it and stuff. As for how it appears, its good when it come to blending, but with a cap H for Hassle and value for money.
And lo and behold, there is acrylic. Acrylic in contrary is a fast-dying paint and it just takes water to dilute it. You can use layers and layers of this paint and still looks fab. Acrylic is like PNG and oil painting is the JPEG of paint.
For more long winded answers you can check out the link below.
Kermit is right! If you like the painting buy it! The medium is academic. Oils is oils and acrylics are different as is watercolour. You should look to see if the artist is doing the medium justice. Some artists do not exploit the full potential of the medium - they use the paint to put colour onto the surface and do not build the work on the basis of the medium's characteristics/unique qualities. Even with the same subject, a good watercolour, or oil or acrylic work should be distinctly different.

Anyone have experience cleaning oil paintings?
I now have one that was done in the 70s and lived until now in a smoke filled home.
Thanks, it was my mom's and I can't really afford to have it done professionally at the moment.Anyone have experience cleaning oil paintings?
Having been a picture restorer, and having had to repair the damage done by inexperienced people trying a little DIY, my advice is to leave well alone. You could easily make a very expensive mistake.
Wait until you can afford to have it done professionally.
