The Oils Keep Rolling

Layout article by Brandon on 03 December 2006, tagged as art

Perhaps one of the nicest things about art is the almost limitless possibilities as far as techniques and styles. As the artist's feelings or moods vary, the expressions of such are free to match them.

In my fourth installation of oil paintings, I find myself exploring some of these new opportunities, resulting in what I think are some promising directions.

Photographing paintings by Brandon :: NR9

I received the following inquiry via email:

As an artist myself, I’m curious how you photograph your work?

I use two kinds of images in my articles on O-Nerd and on my art site: photographs and professional scans. I take the former with my digital camera, usually outside when there is plenty of sunlight. I then edit the JPEG with GIMP to get the edges straight and crop. These are of decent quality for anything not too big. The latter I have done at Que Imaging, which results in very high quality TIF images. These are expensive, though, so I usually wait to scan multiple paintings together and then edit them with GIMP as well.
