What is the cause of dark spots that sometimes appear on the paper of drawings and paintings? Reddish-brown spots are known as "foxing", caused by mold or the deterioration of the metallic impurities left in the paper from the manufacturing process. Other colors of spots may be one of many types of mold damage. Mold spores are everywhere in the environment, and mold thrives on cellulosic materials, especially in conditions of high humidity (above 65% of relative femaleart humidity). Keeping artworks out of high humidity areas like bathrooms or exterior walls, can help reduce the development of such stains. If I have a work of art on paper that appears to not be flat, should I be concerned? Paper is hygroscopic, reacting to changes in climate by expanding when it is humid femaleart and contracting when it is dry. A gentle undulation in the paper called "cockling" occurs under these conditions, especially with larger works. This may impair the work aesthetically as femaleart well as cause mediums such as gouache to crack or flake as it is unable to expand and contract as the paper itself does.

Then Lile got an old unix machine together (being a unix systems administrator, this was fairly femaleart simple) and registered art.net with the Internic. Once the domain was created, with the help of friends, she brought up art.net onto the Internet. Lile started contacting artists about the San Francisco Bay Area who might be interested in showing their works on the Internet and helped them come up on art.net. She visited many cafe''s to see the femaleart local artists works and enjoy the coffees. When she saw works she liked, she contacted the artists femaleart and offered to help them come up on the Internet and the WWW via art.net. Many femaleart artists took the plunge and are now resident artists here at art.net. Artists from around the net started hearing about Art on the Net or would discover the art.net web site via the WWW.
