"Through the Cracks"
6"x6" oil on primed panel
Since I began this blog in 2006, I have always struggled with photographing my paintings to achieve their truest likeness for online viewing. Over the years I have had some comments from patrons that they are pleased and find the painting to look even better in person. I know monitors and screens vary slightly from one to the next, but I am working on the lighting in order to get my photos clearer and not so dim.
I have made improvements on many images in my existing posts. If you have read this far, thank you, and please feel free to have a "Better Look" at my gallery of artwork. There are different options for viewing located at the right.
There are still quite a few older paintings that could have better photo representation that I have not worked on yet, but will soon.
I have this problem too. I usually end up lighting them and deepening the shadows with Picasa. Only then do they begin to resemble what's on the easel.
ReplyDeleteI have the same troubles with taking photos and posting. I am always tweaking the levels in photoshop to help resemble to true piece. I also get comments that my blog post don't do my paintings justice. That said..this piece is beautiful! And as far as I can see..without seeing the piece in person..it the colors look true. Great work!
ReplyDeleteHi Sally, Thanks for sharing. I just found Picasa recently and it does have a few good tools that I have used. Sometimes the paintings seem to have a mind of their own. Especially when they are still wet. :D
ReplyDeleteHi Joseph. Thank you! Photographing our work can be crazy at times. Some times I think I spend more time taking pics and posting than I do painting.
ReplyDeleteI love your work. You have a gift for color. Your paintings are uplifting and they inspire me to paint more.
