I have known friends that loved to do miniatures and never quite understood the attraction. It seemed like a lot of work for just a tiny little painting. Some of those friends worked in sizes way smaller than 4 x 4 so they might consider these new hand painted Christmas ornaments huge. And I am not sure I am going smaller but I did have a passing thought about 3 x 3 last night. Excuse the flash glare on the above photo.
I like these versions. Ever thought of a set of Xmas cards?
ReplyDeleteyou mentioned flash in one of your pics? well it looks fine to me however, a photographer friend of mind told me to hold a piece of paper over the flash to stop the glare. You could tape it over the flash as well if your camera needs 2 hands. Use a thin piece of paper like tracing paper so the flash goes thru it.
ReplyDeleteKwika, every time I have made Xmas cards or note cards they have not sold enough to justify the effort. Used to make a few for me to send but anymore I don't send cards.
ReplyDeleteAVA, that sounds like a wonderful tip. And of course I have tracing paper in abundance to use. Generally I shoot on a tripod and with ambient light on the aperture setting for formal pictures of my work. My studio during the day makes a wonderful place to shoot photographs. But your tip will work great for when I want to get that quickie picture without hassling with all the set up of tripod or waiting until day.
Imagine the sound of hands clapping!
