watercolours


I went back to Lyon to visit Pierre for a while (hence the distinct lack of posts) and was introduced to the fine art of watercolours. I found it a really soothing activity and will hopefully be doing lots more. I liked how painting the face was a bit like putting make up on.

The only thing I didn't like was trying to scan in this picture. The colours aren't right at all and the real thing is much softer. Any tips please??

  1. hmmm...watercolours and scanning...always a tricky one. Possible a higher resolution? have you tried that? looking forward to seeing more...

  2. This is so great!
    Perhaps try switching settings... i find sometimes scanning as a photograph rather than illustration makes it more colour correct.

  3. I have terrible trouble with scanning too and have now found that photographing with a good camera gives you better results.
