But I used last week's trillium sketch for this oil painting.........
I am challenged to photograph oil paintings as there seems to be a sheen with the background. Anyone have suggestions?

About Me
The flow of the water and pigments on paper fascinates me. Painting with watercolors is a blend of spontaneity and control and freedom. Each act of painting begins with the thought, “I wonder what will appear?” There is no formula to painting with watercolors. In the midst of painting an inner guidance says, some purple here, now.
Along with creating art, especially watercolor painting, I design workshops and classes with specific foci to explore the creative process through art media to foster self-awareness.
"Artistic expression lies in all of us and requires only a sense of trust and the freedom to allow the flowing for magic to happen."

joanne, Your painting is beautiful! i just love the colors and that dark background. I have no photography tips though as my work is mostly watercolor. Good luck! (Although I hardly see a sheen in this image)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful painting. You make oils look so easy.. :)
ReplyDeleteYour painting is gorgeous! I love flowers and your piece is so rich and beautiful. That sheen that oils have is so wonderful in person, but definitely a challenge to photograph. I've heard people suggest lighting the painting with two different light sources, one on each side focused on the painting. I paint with acrylics though and for me what I need to do is photograph before I varnish...
ReplyDeletebeautiful oil painting! (I'm a new follower and hope you'll follow me too!) Happy SS!
ReplyDeleteJoanne, you've outdone yourself. This is so beautiful. I love how your paintings speak to my heart. Truly lovely. :)
ReplyDeleteAs always - BEAUTIFUL!!!

This really gorgeous, Joanne. I love the white forms of the flowers against the dark green. I have trouble with sheen when I try to photograph acrylic paintings. I am definitely no expert, but sometimes I get better results if I take the painting outside in the late afternoon and photograph it in the shade.
