I've been working on 3 paintings, of one view, in 3 different media. By putting them out on the blog, I hope to be able to better see what's effective and what's not. The view is of the mill pond just below my house, with Scrimpy Lewis' red lobstering dinghy in the foreground.
The above image is a water color. The next one is oil on raw linen canvas:
I guess the difference in sharpness would be the difference betwween a photo (oil) and scanning the image directly into the computer (watercolor). I'll have to play with that with my new Christmas camera! The next image is an acrylic painting on canvas, and will have a different tonality entirely:
The camera does seem to have a foggy effect...I guess I'll have to retake a number of photos of my work, in order to get them to be as crisp as the first watercolor is. Let's hope it works.
