Description
watercolorTrying a photo like so many other people are doing these days instead of scanning. The photo retains all the subtlety of color gradation that's present in the original. And the color is a bit truer in the photo than it usually is in scans. But I'm not sure about the whites; they're still a little dull.

I always had the feeling that the reason artists took pictures of their works, often accompanied in-frame by supplies, was as a way of presenting the painting in such a way that reminded us it was AN ACTUAL THING.Β That the photo could capture the physical reality of the painting and the tools used to produce it, show us the beauty of the painting, and at the same time let the world see the art in a context from which it could not be removed and pirated for use without the artist's permission.Β No one is going to make a cell-phone case or sticker out of a picture of a picture.
So I think it serves several purposes, but I don't think on-line presentation is actually the biggest priority.Β That's my thinking anyway.
Your picture looks fantastic.

While the security aspect is certainly true, I doubt that much thought goes into it. This is a trend I've seen expand over the past year or so. I think it might have it's roots in the photos that plein aire painters started taking of their work with their phones while in the field. Actually, years ago before every phone had a camera, I saw lists of plein aire tools that included a small point-n-shoot camera to photograph both the finished work and the scene in case the painting couldn't be finished on-site. And, of course, many people don't have access to scanners and have to take photos in order to post their work online. But, until fairly recently those photos rarely included brushes and/or palettes. What bugs me most about it is that so many of these photos include huge brushes the size of Liberty's torch, a tiny travel palette and the expectation I'm going to believe they were used to paint a little 5x7 photo-realistic rendering of Aunt May's prize petunias. I have to keep reminding myself that we live in a Pinterest world now and everything has to have that "look."
Anyway, thanks! And, thanks for the +fave, too!
