This painting isn't one of my usual daily paintings but a portrait commission I did a couple of weeks back, so this one is already reserved. However I thought I'd take a good photo of it before I part with it and put it up on my blog.I must admit I'm not usually that big on portraits, but I quite enjoyed doing this painting.
Actually this painting was amazingly difficult to photograph it has quite a broad range of detail in both the shadows and the highlight areas which means one has to get the exposure pretty close because there isn't much scope for adjusting the levels, or the brightness and contrast, without losing detail in wither the shadow or highlight areas.
Actually although the images of the paintings I put on the Web are fairly small I scan all my smaller paintings at 300 ppi, and anything I can't fit in the scanner I photograph with my digital camera at maximum resolution, which at present is 7 MPs. Well I think it's a good idea to do that because if you have a high quality scan or high resolution photograph of a painting you always have the option to make it available as a print.
