“Rachel”, Update #3

November 10th, 2008 · 2 Comments

I picked up a Daylight Easel Lamp to make photographing my work easier after the sun’s gone down. However, its less akin to daylight than it is a fluorescent fish tank lamp. It produces a cold, blue light that has a drastic effect on the colors in my work. I wouldn’t use it for a final photo of a finished piece, but for in-progress shots that can be warmed up a bit in photoshop, it does the job.

That said, here’s moderate progress on Rachel under the harsh blue light.

Very early stages, of course – maybe 45 minutes worth of work. Today feels like a day I could spend in my studio in its entirety. It may be time for another vacation spent up there…
