I quit my job and ran after him in a different city only one month I met him. In the first conversation between us, I was attracted by him, the feeling to stay with him was so strony that I couldn’t resist.
However, when I went to the foreign city for him, I found he had a girl friend who was badly sick.
I couldn’t accept the contrast between the desperated feeling and the undescrible happy feeling before. It was like jumping from the high mountain to the button, I can not breath in his lies. Finally we departed after only one week I came to the city.

picture to canvas
Canvas has become the most common support medium for oil painting, replacing wooden panels. One of the earliest surviving oils on canvas is a French Madonna with angels from around 1410 in the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin. However, panel painting remained more common until the 16th century in Italy and the 17th century in Northern Europe. Mantegna and Venetian artists were among those leading the change; Venetian sail canvas was readily available and regarded as the best quality.
Canvas is typically stretched across a wooden frame called a stretcher, and may be coated with gesso before it is to be used; this is to prevent oil paint from coming into direct contact with the canvas fibers, which will eventually cause the canvas to decay. A traditional and flexible chalk gesso is composed of lead carbonate and linseed oil, applied over a rabbit skin glue ground; a variation using titanium white pigment and calcium carbonate is rather brittle and susceptible to cracking. As lead-based paint is poisonous, care has to be taken in using it. Various alternative and more flexible canvas primers are commercially available, the most popular being a synthetic latex paint composed of titanium dioxide and calcium carbonate, bound with a thermo-plastic emulsion. Many artists have painted onto unprimed canvas, such as Jackson Pollock[2], Kenneth Noland, Francis Bacon, Helen Frankenthaler, Dan Christensen, Larry Zox, Ronnie Landfield, Color Field painters, Lyrical Abstractionists and others.
Early canvas was made of linen, a sturdy brownish fabric of considerable strength. Linen is particularly suitable for the use of oil paint. In the early 20th century, cotton canvas, often referred to as "cotton duck", came into use. Linen is composed of higher quality material, and remains popular with many professional artists, especially those who work with oil paint. Cotton duck, which stretches more fully and has an even, mechanical weave, offers a more economical alternative. The advent of acrylic paint has greatly increased the popularity and use of cotton duck canvas. Linen and cotton derive from two entirely different plants, the flax plant and the cotton plant.
Gesso-ed canvases on stretchers are also available. These pre-stretched, pre-primed canvases are suitable for all but the most exacting professional standards. They are available in a variety of weights: light-weight is about 4 oz. or 5 oz.; medium-weight is about 7 oz. or 8 oz.; heavy-weight is about 10 oz. or 12 oz. They are prepared with two or three coats of gesso and are ready for use straight away. Artists desiring greater control of their painting surface may add a coat or two of their preferred gesso. Professional artists who wish to work on canvas may prepare their own canvas in the traditional manner.
One of the most outstanding differences between modern painting techniques and those of the Flemish and Dutch Masters is in the preparation of the canvas. "Modern" techniques take advantage of both the canvas texture as well as those of the paint itself. Renaissance masters took extreme measures to ensure that none of the texture of the canvas came through. This required a painstaking, months-long process of layering the raw canvas with (usually) lead-white paint, then polishing the surface, and then repeating.[3] The final product had little resemblance to fabric, but instead had a glossy, enamel-like finish. This flat surface was crucial in attaining photographic realism.
With a properly prepared canvas, the painter will find that each subsequent layer of color glides on in a "buttery" manner, and that with the proper consistency of application (fat over lean technique), a painting entirely devoid of brushstrokes can be achieved. A warm iron is applied over a piece of wet cotton to flatten the wrinkles.
Canvas can also be printed onto using offset or specialist digital printers to create canvas prints. This process of digital inkjet printing is popularly referred to as Giclée. After printing, the canvas can be wrapped around a stretcher and displayed.

portrait artist
With an eye for detail and the ability to convey their vision to an artistic medium, the portrait artists are experts who can transform an image into a work of art. While known as an artist, the portrait painter takes that definition and makes it so much more.
Separating a good artist portrait from a bad one can be tricky. While many people claim to hold this talent, only a true artist can capture a feeling and translate that into their work. The ability to do this with a portrait can be more difficult than it sounds. Not only must the painter get to the heart of their subject’s personality, sometimes they will need to add personality to a subject that is lacking in this area.
Most people think they have what it takes to be good subject matter; however, any good portrait artist will tell you that nothing could be farther from the truth. Often they are faced with an expressionless, lifeless mass that they must miraculously give spark and pizzazz. Frequently, portrait artists will need to spend some time getting to know their subject before they can adequately portray their likeness on canvas. A good artist will take this extra step to ensure that the quality level desired is achieved.
In addition to working with oil paints as a medium, a good painter must have the ability to branch out to other areas, such as charcoal, watercolor, colored pencils, acrylics, and pencil drawings. Each medium will give their subject matter a different look and will translate a different feeling in the finished product. Given this fact, it is crucial that the portrait artists have a thorough understanding of the ambiance their client is looking for in the final work of art.
Subject matter in portrait painting is as diverse as the artists who paint these portraits. It is important to see samples of work relating to the focus you are commissioning the artist to paint, as a client of an artist. A reputable painter will have a portfolio of work samples and even pencil sketches to share with their clients. In addition, most artists have certain areas in which they specialize. While some are more adept at painting animals, others will be better at portraits that include landscaped backgrounds. It is important to have a firm understanding of the areas of expertise of the artist you choose to hire. By taking this extra step, you will most certainly be rewarded in the quality of the work you receive.
Having a portrait painted is an excellent way to keep a memory alive. Personalized portraits make excellent gifts ideas and are often revered as family heirlooms. Because of their priceless nature, if only in sentimental value, it is important to take time when commissioning portrait artists. By having a firm grasp of their style and areas of expertise as well as establishing an excellent working relationship, you are sure to end up with a keepsake that will bring years of enjoyment.
