Artist's Comments

EECHCHC.
SOMEONE TELL ME- how do I take a picture of a painting that remains true to the color, yet doesn't make the damn thing shine with flash? I was proud of this thing until I had to tweak the shitty photograph of it in photoshop for 15 minutes...and ended up with this u_u

It's mispelled for a reason.

Acrylic (w/matte medium) on canvas
18"x24"

I'd suggest you read your manual to find out how to shut off the flash, but make sure the lighting in the room is very good and rest the camera on something sturdy when you take the photo so that the slower shutter speed doesn't make the photo blurry. If you've got that at school, just ask me and I'll take it with mine and send it to you online later.

I know how to shut off ze flash, at least...:P
It's just that the tungsten filter on the camera makes the colors looked washed out. And if I don't use flash and use regular light, the colors come out muddy and distorted.

The door looks like it's staring at the little girl.
Nice colors. Don't worry about the photograph too much, it's still a great painting.

Well it seems the photo question has been answered - don't use flash :) This is a very cool piece, reminds me strongly of stephen kings dark tower series... :+fav:

What a beautifull painting! It shows so much anxiety and lonelyness, but there's a light of hope as well. I understand your frustration because of the photo - I have this all the time, I'm sick whenever I have to shoot my painting.
