Photographing my art for the website has always been a problem. I use metallic paints and the reflections of this can cause issues. The other night at the CAA meeting we had a demo by a pro on how to photograph our work. I learned a few things and was reminded of a few I know but don't always do...so like me. One of his hints..scan two d art...well..what if you have yarn hanging on it, and it can not be fed into a large bed scanner? That is the case with the Dancing Pears shown here. I have taken several shots of this but the background always turns out white when it is really a soft cream. Yes, it matter.
that is exactly why you have to come to the Studio tour and see it in person....so much better than a photo ..I promise. Location 22....mark your calendar and set up your route...You want to do the north end.....you will be so happy if you do!!
