Not only am I trying to produce paintings to the best of my ability (that’s a struggle!) but also to photographically reproduce them as faithfully as possible. Previously I had used a basic version of Photoshop to do this which did a decent job. I have just started using a pro photo editing programme called Lightroom for my landscape photography. I thought why not try it for processing my paintings. Did it today, it has done a brilliant job. I can now adjust individual colours, the sky for instance up to now has been reproducing in too blue a tone, its more brown. This photo is probably the most faithful reproduction of any painting I have taken. Painting progressing well, I have some good photos lined up for new paintings, onwards and upwards.
