In Xanadu, Continued

Still more to do on this page’s panel, but here it is in context. It still has to be re-lined and tinted, and I think a few more elements will be painted in as well… It’s amazing how poor the color reproduction of the point-and-shoot camera is. In real life there’s a lot more color depth*, which I assume my bigger camera will eventually capture more accurately.

So twice five miles of fertile ground
With walls and towers were girdled round:
And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills,
Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree;
And here were forests ancient as the hills,
Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.

* Edit: I took a new picture that shows it a little better.

    Yea, it’s really frustrating taking pictures of your paintings.

    Try to get your work close to a window with some natural light coming in and take a picture without the flash. That might help with the colour reproduction.

    There’s always film to fall back on. :)

Wow Shannon, that's really annoying! What is it, 1997 on Geocities? Retroweb is NOT cool!
