First try at water colors on prints.




I recently decided that I was going to test my luck at coloring some of my prints. And yes i realize that it is odd to take a photo in black and white and THEN color it. But hey man its art, it like doesnt have to make sense and all.
it worked okay, i have a long ways to go to really be able to get the results i want. I have also realized that my scanner is not all its cut out ot be either. The first time i scanned i forgot to make it a color scan. turned out pretty cool.
once i made it a color scan, it got weird. I forgot i have a budget as hell scanner that did not seem to fancy pink in the slightest. For some reason the scanner lightened up all the pinks so a pink red blended mix looks all fucked up.

strangely enough both the flowers were painted in this print. my scanner just didnt feel like acknowledging that (pink again).
same print as above, just scanned in black and white.
last photo of the garden for the year. i swear.


creepy looking house next door at night. pretty stoked this turned out, i totally winged it on how long the exposure needed to be
