Remove the glass from a new picture frame and tape the glass down over the picture image you desire. Get oils or watercolor paints and paint the picture on the glass; using the picture as your 'copy guide (better than 'by the numbers').

Painting Clay Pots
I like to dress up terra cotta pots with acrylic paints. One technique is to use three colors or more and a sponge. You only need a small squirt of each color, making it great for using those leftovers.

Repairing a Damaged Painted Canvas
I have just bought an oil painting from Goodwill that has some "soft" spots, areas where the canvas was stretched by pressing against something. It's a relatively new painting and the stretching hasn't affected the paint. How do I tighten those spots that have stretched?

Green Cleaner for Oil Paint Brushes
How do I safely rinse brushes with oil paint. I used to love painting with oil paint, and still have my brushes, paints, palette, etc. I would like to start up again, but I am not willing to use mineral spirits (highly flammable and bad fumes) to rinse/clean my brushes.
