The Glamourous Life. -Sylvia in Color and how the heck to take pictures of oil paintings?!



Sylvia 16"x8" original oil on stretched canvas

from the grisaille...to color!
Hmmm, I have heard this before...but photographing oil paintings is very different than acrylic. I keep getting this haze... if you have any suggestions, I would lovalovalove to hear them.

All the pieces have to be in tomorrow morning for the vernissage. And here.. you are getting a sneak peak. Exciting, huh?

  2. Elaine, you and Modigliani...very cool painting. Are you using a flash? My best results started happening when I got an SLR camera (Canon Rebel XS), and started shooting under normal light without a flash. I use a tripod and plunger to eliminate any movement, and it seems to work fairly well. I just found out that there are white light adjustments that can be made in the camera to better match whatever light you may be using. Hope this helps.
