Cherries Painting- Oils on Masonite



Finally got a good photo (actually a scan) of the finished cherries. I had a lot of trouble since the finish is reflective and I kept getting glare with my photos even with the flash off. So much for taking a quick photo to post! Fortunately, my scanner has a professional mode and definitely gave me a perfect image. There isn't much difference in the two photos, I just put some final touches on the glass to give it more of a shine- but it was definitely worth it!
Thank you for visiting and for any (much welcomed) comments-

    Pat- thank you so much, I really do enjoys oils- but sometimes don't take time away from watercolors!

  8. Very nice. Very appealing painting. Sweet.

    You got a good first photo there, second is uneven. I never use my flash; it washes out the colors. Photographing art is difficult. Sometimes I have trouble getting the colors of the painting accurate in the translation--I think it has something to do with the colors I used in the painting? It doesn't always happen. I just keep adjusting away till you get to close and good enough.

  9. L.W. - Thanks! The top photo is the second one and it is a scan. I went to my scanner since I was having so much trouble and I was NOT using a flash in any of them, I guess the sheen from the oils and the super smooth masonite were just problematic.
