Still working on the carved cover - its driving me mad with the variety of tone in the wood.Joan Sandford-Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04228835690449964257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5363771184265614010.post-22006381158329255582008-03-19T21:23:00.000+00:002008-03-19T21:23:00.000+00:00Joan, can you hold your camera at a forward-tilted...Joan, can you hold your camera at a forward-tilted angle so that the perspective problem doesn't occur, or would this create reflections on the wet oil paint?<BR/><BR/>Love the format, and your choice of colours looks yummy.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for keeping an eye out for my blog posts.

I then hold the digital camera at a slightly downward angle to take the photo. Hope that makes sense. For the most part, it seems to work okay for me.Serena Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17789734075055678964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5363771184265614010.post-33220779682158105212008-03-18T10:36:00.000+00:002008-03-18T10:36:00.000+00:00Thanks for tip Anita - its what I always do for WO...Thanks for tip Anita - its what I always do for WORK THAT IS DRY!!!<BR/>As you know I am using oils and Michael Hardings take a long time to dry so in the process I get it everywhere and darent lift it off the easel!!!!!!!Joan Sandford-Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04228835690449964257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5363771184265614010.post-62447767706790239132008-03-17T13:31:00.000+00:002008-03-17T13:31:00.000+00:00Looking good Joannie.Try lying the painting flat o...Looking good Joannie.<BR/>Try lying the painting flat on the floor and hovering over it to square it up when photographing it.Anita Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03651162546509817976noreply@blogger.com
