"Last
Fall" 8"x 10" transparent watercolor I saw
this tree and light combination at the Vashon Health Center
on Sunrise Ridge on Vashon Island WA. I did the little watercolor
as a presentation piece for a woman retiring from there. I
made two layout drawings in Plein Air first then took a digital
photo to capture the light and color patterns and painted
the painting in my comfortable studio.

You
might consider getting a watercolor block that is 8" x 10"
or using a good sketchbook about the same size.
With
a scanner or digital camera we can produce images suitable for online
presentation for homework or critical comments. A good working standard
for manipulation by a paint program is 8" x 10" at 100dpi.
I plan to present images as jpg images with a maximum 5" width
or height in 100 dpi. Ask me if you need recommendations for getting
a paint program. |
