			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you launch any Java program, you must specify its &#8220;maximum heap size&#8221;; that is, the maximum amount of memory it is allowed to use. This is done with the -Xmx command line flag. For example, if you specify -Xmx256m on the command line when running it, it can use up to 256 MB of memory. If you do not include the -Xmx flag (or if you run it by double-clicking ArtOfIllusion.jar), the maximum heap size defaults to 64 MB.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are an art collector then you are going to want to know where to find <a href="http://www.oilpaintings-sales.com">oil paintings</a> for sale for a low cost. Now granted you can find the reprints and prints for a low cost, but the originals can end up costing you quite a bit more. </p>
<p>The first place that you can check would be with an art gallery that specializes in paintings. Shopping at these can be a fairly expensive option, but if you are an avid collector then cost will not be an issue for you. Shopping at these locations will also help provide you with some protection from people selling reproductions as originals and they might even be able to provide you with paperwork verifying authenticity.</p>
<p>The second place to check for these items would be your larger craft shows. You might not think about using this venue, but at some of these you will be able to locate local artist that are selling their paintings here for a reasonable cost. By purchasing here though you will also notice that the art will usually have the artist that made it present as well.</p>
<p>The third place to look for these would be at various flea markets. Flea markets might not seem like a great place to shop for art, but if you consider that some people will end up clearing out attics to provide products for these locations you might be able to find the diamond in the rough here and obtain it for a low cost.</p>
<p>The fourth place to look for these would be on the internet. With the internet becoming so popular today you will notice more people are selling items of all shapes and sizes on here. You can at times manage to find some excellent oils on the internet at a very reasonable price. If it is possible you will want to make sure that they are able to provide you with a certificate that they are authentic paintings and not reproductions.</p>
<p>The fifth place that you can find these for sale at would be estate sales. If you are a buyer of art then you will notice that many people have estate sales when they pass on hosted by their families. At times the families will not know what all the person has in the home and sell everything. Some times the items that they are selling can include the original oils that you are looking for.</p>
<p>As an art collector you probably realize that original paintings will cost you more than prints. However, finding the original oil paintings for sale can be a challenge at times. The five places that are mentioned above will provide you with a great start as to where to look to find these items. You will also want to realize that other places will be able to provide you with what you are looking for as well.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of my Freshmen Art I classes is playing with watercolor as we create our &#8220;head shots of the Gods&#8221; for the DMA student art exhibition in April. I have been encouraging them to play with the medium and discover what techniques they can incorporate into their skill set. Some think that watercolor is challenging because it is a lively material. It can be. The beauty of watercolor is the clarity of the paint and the &#8220;life&#8221; it has when it hits the paper. It definitely takes some practice to explore its qualities and it is easy to overwork the paint and end up with a muddy blob.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.bestartistdirectory.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/van+gogh+-+fishing+boats+on+the+beach.jpg"><img src="http://www.bestartistdirectory.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/van+gogh+-+fishing+boats+on+the+beach-300x213.jpg" alt="" title="van+gogh+-+fishing+boats+on+the+beach" width="300" height="213" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-73" /></a></p>
<p>I am encouraging my young painters to check out this website and look at some of the painting demonstrations. It might give you some ideas that you will want to incorporate into your portraits! I&#8217;ve put two images in this post, one I did at a workshop and a watercolor by Vincent van Gogh. He handled the paint much like I have been demonstrating for our portraits &#8211; big patches of local color (a solid hue) with outlining to define shapes. I&#8217;m excited to see what you discover when we get back from spring break!</p>

<p>very once in a while, the art market gives permission for a &#8220;do-over,&#8221; a kind of contemporary art-historical mulligan where a younger artist gets to make new versions of widely known artworks by some senior figure. So it was with the pioneering Conceptual artist Lawrence Weiner, whose words-as-art technique was revived first by 1980s artist Jenny Holzer and now by the British artist Martin Creed. Weiner was the provocative philosopher, and Holzer the feminist moralist, but what is Creed? </p>
