Traditionally a stain is applied directly to the wood. Then a clear protective finish is applied on top of that. In a toned finish there is no stain applied directly to the wood. The color pigments are dissolved in the finish and applied with it. If any finish flakes or chips off, the color goes with it. Also this type of finish is less transparent because of the pigments, so the true beauty of the wood grain tends to be dimmed and/or muddied. back to top

I have used a toned canvas on occasion. Most landscape artists do not use a toned canvas. However, portrait, still life, and figure artists often use them. I do not object to them, it is more of a matter of choice. I have used toned canvas when I did many wildlife close-ups.

What does this mean? Toning occurs from the sulfur from the bags the coins were stored in. Rainbow toning can bring in a large profit. There is a market for toned coins, but not as great as a P.Q. or premium quality coin.

We suggest you don't. Coins are most often best left in their original state and using any abrasive material on a coins surface will most likely cause damage. We have seen coins worth thousands reduced to being coins worth hundreds because of bad cleaning. There are commercial coin “Dips” available, which will remove light toning from a high-grade coins surface. Household ammonia will usually have the same effect.

Yes, we offer color, black & white or sepia toned photographs on every image. You will have the ability to view all three formats of the same pose when viewing your event through our online proofing web page.

There are two layers of skin; the dermis and the epidermis. Then there is another layer under these, called the subcutaneous layer. All these layers together are essentially the thickness of typing paper on the face. This subcutaneous layer also contains fat. Hence, it's often called the subcutaneous layer of fat. If you pinch and roll this layer you can actually break it down, causing damage. You should not beat it up.

Yes. For those who want a toned look, KrunchMaster recommends following the 6 Minute Abs Workout DVD every other day.

Yes. You can have black and white or toned prints if you want. And no, again there is no extra charge for this.

Of course, NO! The assortment of the shop I'm using consists of tens thousands materials of virtually any color, and some hundreds are stretchy and thus suitable for tight clothes. Just ask what you want - and I'll try to find the closest match!

You cannot just lose weight or get toned in a specific area of your body. There is no such thing as spot-reduction. The whole body is affected. For example, if someone loses weight or size in their thighs, they will also lose weight or size in the upper portion of their body. Getting in shape involves many types of exercises. In order for one to achieve total fitness, he or she must address various areas of fitness: cardiovascular (running, walking, stepping, etc.

No two people have skin that is exactly alike. Some brown-skinned people get tattoos with every color, and they heal and stay perfect, but someone else who's skin appears to be the same tone, will have the problems that I described as being peculiar to non-Caucasian skin. So, in the end, I will use the colors that you want me to use, but not without telling you what possibly could happen.

Definitely yes! For one thing, it's difficult for women to get large - even intentionally - due to the hormonal differences between women and men. For another, it's not easy to add a lot of muscle mass - even for men - when you're consuming fewer calories. Putting on a lot of muscle requires a lot of food! At least 50% of our members are women. Women need muscle just as much as men do to look "toned" and also to combat the loss of lean body mass that naturally occurs with aging.

Unfortunately it has to be given the hardware of the PS2 but the vast majority of the game play will be the same as the next gen versions of Mercs 2. This said, I think it's looking really good (especially the character models!)
