oil on doorskin
Wow! What a challenge this one is from Karin Jurick - see 'Differentstokesfromdifferentfolks.blogspot.com. Sat on it for a week till I decided I couldn't procrastinate any longer so I got down to work and formulated a plan. First of all there was a lot of information in this photograph of the display window of a wig shop - how to simplify? I decided to try black and white with 5 values and am now going to wait for a week till the paint is somewhat dry, to get around the fat over lean rule, and then glaze in a little transparent color to warm it up a bit. I think the biggest problem so far has been trying to photograph the painting without accentuating light reflections and glaring errors!

Barb, To get good photo of your painting, take without flash with painting on the floor by a door or window, preferably a sunny day, but without direct sunlight on the painting, then shoot from directly above it. Daylight, no flash, shooting from above produces good pics w/o hot spots or light reflections for me. Try it. Any questions, email me: bdycttdncr@hornungfamily.com Let me know if this gives you any success. See my photos of my paintings at ruthswatercolors.shutterfly.com
