Julie's Pup - 12x16 - Oil - 2014
This is actually one of my favorite paintings. But I rushed it and didn't verify that I had a decent photo before I shipped it off. And if you look at it closely it's a terrible photo. I now ---finally--- have a good setup for taking photographs. It's kind of a pain in the butt but worth it. I bought two lights with soft boxes on them from Ebay. The two were less than $100. I put them at about a 30-35 degree angle on each side of my painting. Then I put them up close to the ceiling and pointed at the ceiling so they bounce off the ceiling. And of course turn off all the other lights. Then I make sure my camera and painting are level --- with a level--- and my flash is turned off on the camera. Anyway that seems to give me consistently good results.
All the best! Hug your furry friends for me!!
