It could be at a craft store like Joanne's or Michael's, or you could be an intern at some sort of design studio. Get to know a gallery owner and volunteer to help with setting up shows, and you may eventually be hired to work at the gallery. Alternately, sell your art online at eBay or Etsy, sell portraits or pet portraits or landscapes in person off the easel, bring your portfolio to galleries, sell at art fairs, or science fiction or media conventions.  What type of art you do will affect where it sells best, and whether you're ready to make a living at art yet. The point at which good art supplies pay for themselves comes very fast, whenever you master at least one popular subject that non-artists like your work. This can be cartoon cats, dragons, cute manga animals or cute manga kids as easily as a fine art subject. Someone will offer to buy something. Sell it, give them that joy, even if you know you could have done it better. The connection they have with your drawing is real and emotional. Your technical criticism has more to do with your growth as an artist and less to do with the external value of your art. You're often its poorest judge, don't undersell yourself. To make a living in art, learn how to become self employed. There are many aspects to self employment that have nothing to do with how well you draw and paint, everything to do with how well you manage your money and time. If you prefer to set your own schedule, make all your own business and financial decisions, work well without supervision, plan, schedule, and complete major projects without any outside authority, the life of a full time self employed artist may be right for you. If it's not, then enjoy having a side income, and look for a related job where you have an employer, a steady check, benefits, and someone else responsible for all the business stuff. How much you need to earn to be happy in life is a lifestyle choice. If you have your health, you may not need a high income to be happy as a full time artist. If you have dependents or health issues, it may not be practical to go full time until you can earn a professional level income, pursue your career part time till it matches your job income.

Olive oil poaching is a technique best used with fish that are sturdy and flavorful, such as salmon, halibut or tuna. Choose either steaks or fillets that are about 3/4 to one inch thick for best results. The taste and texture of the final dish is better with thicker, sturdier fish than it is with very delicate fillets.  Season the fish with salt, pepper and other herbs that complement the meal you're serving. This method also works well with shrimp, prawns and other shellfish. Cooking at a low temperature will preserve the integrity of the fish. Set it out on the counter for 10 minutes or so before you cook it. Letting the fish come to room temperature will ensure that it cooks evenly and fully once you place it in the oil bath. Putting it straight into the oil from the refrigerator would cause the temperature of the oil to drop, throwing off the cooking time and affecting the taste and texture of the finished dish. Line a glass baking dish with thin slices of lemon, then arrange the fish fillets on top of the lemon slices. Pour enough olive oil over the fish to cover the fillets. Place the baking dish in the oven and poach the fish until the fillets are opaque and flake apart easily when forked. Check the fish after an hour, and return it to the oven for an additional 10 to 15 minutes if the fillets need additional time. Serve warm over a bed of rice or steamed vegetables.

To start, it's important to first be able to identify both the direction the object is moving in and the direction from which force is being applied. Keep in mind that objects don't always move in line with the force being applied to them — for instance, if you pull a small wagon by its handle, you're applying a diagonal force (assuming you're taller than the wagon) to move it forward. In this section, however, we'll deal with situations in which the force and the object's displacement do have the same direction. For information on how to find the work when these things don't have the same direction, see below. To make this process easy to understand, let's follow along with an example problem. Say that a toy train car is being pulled directly forward by the train in front of it. In this case, both the force vector and the direction of the train's motion point the same way — forward. In the next few steps, we'll use this information to help find the work done on the object. The first variable we need for the work formula, D, or displacement, is usually easy to find. Displacement is simply the distance that the force has caused the object to move from its starting position. In academic problems, this information is usually either given to or is possible to deduce from other information in the problem. In the real world, all you have to do to find displacement is measure the distance the object travels.  Note that measures of distance must be in meters for the work formula. In our toy train example, let's say that we're finding the work performed on the train as it travels along the track. If it starts at a certain point and ends at a spot about 2 meters (6.6 ft) up the track, we can use 2 meters (6.6 ft) for our "D" value in the formula. Next, find the magnitude of the force being used to move the object. This is a measure of the "strength" of the force — the bigger its magnitude, the harder it pushes the object and the quicker it accelerates. If the force's magnitude isn't provided, it can be derived from the mass and acceleration of the moving (assuming that there aren't other conflicting forces acting on it) with the formula F = M × A.  Note that measures of force must be in newtons for the work formula. In our example, let's say that we don't know the magnitude of the force. However, let's say that we do know that the toy train has a mass of 0.5 kilograms and that the force is causing it to accelerate at a rate of 0.7 meters/second2. In this case, we can find the magnitude by multiplying M × A = 0.5 × 0.7 = 0.35 Newtons. Once you know the magnitude of the force acting on your object and the distance it's been moved, the rest is easy. Simply multiply these two values by each other to get your value for work.  It's time to solve our example problem. With a value for force of 0.35 Newtons and a value for displacement of 2 meters (6.6 ft), our answer is a single multiplication problem away: 0.35 × 2 = 0.7 joules. You may have noticed that, in the formula provided in the intro, there's an additional piece to the formula: Cosine(θ). As discussed above, in this example, the force and the direction of motion are in the same direction. This means the angle between them is 0o. Since Cosine(0) = 1, we don't need to include it — we're just multiplying by 1. In physics, values for work (and several other quantities) are almost always given in a unit of measurement called joules. One joule is defined as one newton of force exerted over one meter, or, in other words, one newton × meter. This makes sense — since you're multiplying distance times force, it's logical that the answer that you get would have a unit of measurement equal to multiplying the units of your force and distance quantities. Note that joules also has an alternate definition — one watt of power radiated over one second. See below for a more detailed discussion of power and its relationship to work.
