are you implying that this is 2008 in grade school

wash them in organic solvent, its oils after all

>>2659969
Throwthem out if the paint has dried. What did you think would happen? Get some turps, gamsol, or mineral spirits.

>what did you think would happen
Sorry, misread and thought you had let them dry with paint on them. Why the fuck would he give you ruined brushes? What a pal.

I'm pretty sure you're about 100 years late to this argument

>With photography making photo-realism painting obsolete
You've got the timeline a bit backwards. Photo-realism only exists BECAUSE of cameras.

Oh I'm sorry I had no idea you had a camera that can take a realistic photo of your favorite waifu being plowed by a dragon.

In middle school art class; carved a chunk of flesh from my thumb. atleast it was still more fun than making grid copy paintings.

ayy

Everyone started where you are right now. If you -still- want to quit, then art genuinely isn't meant for you. Aaand another one bites the dust!

>>2665794
Well sure if you keep telling yourself that, you'll never make it.

If you really, truly, genuinely, gnawing-into-your-arm need to learn how to draw, then sit down and read the sticky.

Everyone was once a shit artist. Artists you look up to were once shit starting out as well.

No one can save you but yourself.

Indoor murals?

Cave paintings are the earliest form of mural making, picturing everyday life and the objects and creatures that early man came across. Murals are also found on Mayan temples, depicting their lives and rituals and giving us a glimpse into their culture.

A mural is any piece of artwork painted or applied directly on a wall, ceiling or other large permanent surface. A distinguishing characteristic of mural painting is that the architectural elements of the given space are harmoniously incorporated into the picture.

Street art/graffiti is basically the out door version of murals. Basically most any styles or painting/illustration can be applied to murals, it's more the fact that it's applied to a permanent structure that makes it a mural.

>alot of people who post here are generally working on commision

My fucking sides.

Commission work should be more costly as it usually involves special requests/additional work and occasionally new supplies.

I usually go by

(cost of materials)+[(time spent)x(my hourly rate)]=(cost of sold piece)

for pieces sold. adjusted of course of it's a one-off, if it's something mass produced like a print, and the comparative cost to similar work that's being sold out there. Cost of materials can also include not just the consumables used in the piece (clay, paint, etc) but part of the cost of studio space and tools used.

For a commission

(cost of materials)+[(time spent)x(my hourly rate)]+(additional flat rate)=(cost of sold piece)

would be the way to go. The additional flat rate is up to you and can be adjusted by the complexity/difficulty of the piece. I like to think of it as the "pain and suffering fee," especially if the client is picky/hard to work with.

this additional flat rate thing seems like it could be a recipe to get hosed? i assume you are talking about somewhat illustrative small scale work?

>How important is having artist friends?
Not very. Co-workers/colleague =! friends. If you want friends, pick up a social hobby. Art isn't really a social hobby since the point is to study and practice to improve not fool around and obsess over memes.

>>2669681
Filmmaking can be a social hobby. When I'm not on a crew for commercial,corporate videos I help some of my friends in the field with storyboards for their personal projects.

>>2669687
I was thinking more in the sense of digital illustration. Having friends in the same field is not important at all. Filmmaking has a much more social aspect to it. It's nothing like the Illustration route.

In the center of the fresco, at its architecture's central vanishing point, are the two undisputed main subjects: Plato on the left and Aristotle, his student, on the right. Both figures hold modern (of the time), bound copies of their books in their left hands, while gesturing with their right. Plato holds Timaeus, Aristotle his Nicomachean Ethics. Plato is depicted as old, grey, wise-looking, and bare-foot. By contrast Aristotle, slightly ahead of him, is in mature manhood, handsome, well-shod and dressed with gold, and the youth about them seem to look his way. In addition, these two central figures gesture along different dimensions: Plato vertically, upward along the picture-plane, into the beautiful vault above; Aristotle on the horizontal plane at right-angles to the picture-plane (hence in strong foreshortening), initiating a powerful flow of space toward viewers. It is popularly thought that their gestures indicate central aspects of their philosophies, for Plato, his Theory of Forms, and for Aristotle, his empiricist views, with an emphasis on concrete particulars. Many interpret the painting to show a divergence of the two philosophical schools. Plato argues a sense of timelessness whilst Aristotle looks into the physicality of life and the present realm. However,[original research?] Plato's Timaeus was, even in the Renaissance, a very influential treatise on the cosmos, whereas Aristotle insisted that the purpose of ethics is "practical" rather than "theoretical" or "speculative": not knowledge for its own sake, as he considered cosmology to be.

vi är inte här för att hjälpa kids med läxorna

I didn't get a penny the world was as hostile to me as before and all my energy was gone making other people rich. I have the potential reality of watching my loved ones die never seeing me actually being successful in front of me. I still think someone might do me a favour but it seems very unlikely.

>>2664240
Define "making it".

>>2664257
Not Op but I would define it as living off of your art in any way
Idk if others think the same
