#292 - Bench Gazing

5"x 7" oil on masonite Sold

I like how this turned out but the color key tried to get away from me at first. I couldn't get the color spots to "click" together until I gave up in one section and worked on another. I think it was the bottom of the dress where the colors started to read right. After that "click" happens you can build all the color relationships upon that.

I wanted to murder the scanner after it gave me an image from glare city where everything sucks. I had to take this pic with my pocket canon 850is. Ugh! what a noisy image in comparison. Then of course I spent too much time trying to fix the colors / removing noise. I can smell a new camera coming on very soon. I've already started the research obsessing and am going to have to take the DSLR plunge soon. Better image capture or death! Hopefully the former.
