Also, go to mattepainting.org and look under their resources link. Sure to find something there.

try mattepainting.org, check the resources/links page.


Also google, search on the 'images' link, change the 'show all sizes' to large. for the high rez.

Also try phototographer galleries. they are all over the net.

No, you're not unless otherwise stated by the author and you give credit to them.

To be free of this issue, look for royalty free stuff and read their "Terms of Use" in order to get clear understanding of what you can do with their photos.

Sometimes you'll have to pay a few bucks for an image such as at http://www.istockphoto.com/, but you can use it without worry.

This is a big issue dealing with copyright protection and laws. To get the full story, google it and you'll find everythign you need to know. Hope this helps.
