Not much to say about it beyond the fact that the photography is even worse than usual. It's black on white but I guess the camera was confused with it being a Rainbow Trout in mono! ;0)

That's the European Sea-Bass, Atlantic Cod and the Trout done and three to go. Not the most exhilarating of subjects, but good drawing practise.
We are aiming to move home this year (the 24th move in married life), consequently I divide my day thus, morning to preparing the house for sale, afternoon Painting/Drawing and the evening writing. The mornings get earlier and bedtimes... later, ".... But I'm singing a Happy Song, Hippoty, Hopotty Hi ...singing a happy song!!"
Here's the view from the house we are buying - if all goes to plan!

Marvelous view. Lots of plein air possibilities. Where's home? I thought you were.
ReplyDeleteWhite paper tend to pick up the colors in the artificial light you may have used to take the shot. Sometimes, you have to run the photo through the adjustment process a few times to bring the background up to white--and sometimes you have to reshoot the photo. You did a better thing by playing of the humor of the oops.
Very best wishes for the forthcoming move, John. The prospective view looks astounding. Do hope all goes smoothly.

Astunning view!! Just gorgeous! When I take photos I have found that they look the best without flashlight and just a lamp to help out. Or putting the painting in the window while shooting the photo. Sometimes I have to change the angel of the camera against the painting, because the white paper looks yellow and dark somehow. And sometimes I also have to fix the photo in the computer to make it look closer to reallity. I don´t have an expensive camera. So it takes hard work before I can post the shoot.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great view, all the best for the move, John! My camera makes my paintings blue, so when the size of the painting is not too large, I rather make a scan. Although that makes colours too light sometimes.
ReplyDeleteA most gorgeous view and a great fish!
