Quality photography

My son is stretching his wings, and using his tech cred to explore the world of
digital photography.

He did wonderful, crisp and colour accurate photos of several of my artworks.

This was for the purpose of getting good quality prints off the originals.

Flower Commission

I had a tricky flower commission to do. Lots of dewdrops on the petals.
Also couldn't decide on the method.

Started painting in gouache to get vivid colour. Then decided to use this
as a base to draw over with pastel pencil.

It is hard to make flower petals looks soft. This sample was very large.

Some of the steps shown here.
 

 Original photo reference. 

 Gouache paint.

 Starting with pastel, flower still  'stiff '.

 Petals and leaves improving, and a soft background 

rubbed in, as stark white was too much. 

More logic applied to the dewdrops.
