original wc by yamada booke or boske who who exhibited at sifits of columbus in 1922. Any info on her?

Sunday, December 27th, 2009
Debbie S asked:


I found an original watercolor and on the back it says Yamada Booke or Boske who exhibited at Sifits of Columbus in 1922. It is a street scene with huts and trees and 2 asian women walking. I was hoping to find out something about the artist. Unfortunately it was matted on cardboard and has darkened over time, but still a beautiful piece.

When painting with acrylic paints, what should I start painting first?

Friday, December 25th, 2009
hell4life asked:


I’ve searched all over the internet for an answer to this but all I keep coming up with are techniques on how to mix colors for acrylic painting! I really want to know how I should start painting my image. It’s a portrait of one of my closest friends. Should I paint the background of the canvas board first or her face or her hair?? Please help!

amy m asked:


I need to know what the best books are out there that teach you how to paint and teach you techniques & tips & so on. I need a book for oil painting, watercolor, and acrylic. I have painted with all three but I really want to know more and get much much better. I need the books to be informative from how to pick papers, paints, brushes, to little tips that make a huge difference. Please help!

Has anyone else tried this? If so, how were your results?

I’ve done some paintings using Oil Pastels on watercolor paper to lay down the main areas of color. Then I use Q-tips, dipped in turpentine, to “paint” … move the color around, blend, create washes, and fill in the tooth of the paper. It’s cheap, easy, and I’ve had some excellent results. Has anyone else tried this?

I have two Thomas Meek Jr. watercolors entitled Williamsburg St. Any idea on their value?

Yolanda asked:


I couldn’t find enough information on these beautiful water colors. They are both signed by the author. And they are also framed in what seems to be the original frame. Any ideas?
