Ik volg je filmpjes altijd met grote belangstelling en verwondering. Dit is ook weer een prachtig werk. Zoals je de glans op de bladeren en het fruit weergeeft, ze zien er zo sappig uit. Een groot compliment! Groetjes, Angeline
@clarybyui From life, but I had a photograph on my laptop for the leafs. It struck me once again what the differences between a photograph and life painting are. In a photograph I see: 1) less form (ie less 3 dimensionality) eg the quince in the front looks like a more ore less flat disc on the photograph 2) less subtle color....
@josvanr Jos, when working from a photo, there is a way to bring back more form and dimension :)
I don't know if many other people use this, but here's how I do it: You create several versions of the photo (I use irfanview for this, it's faster than Photoshop for such simple edits) with different gamma, contrast, etc. Just 3-4 variations. Then you tell irfanview to show you a slideshow with them, with 2 seconds interval. You get back A LOT of dimensionality, much more than from a still photo
@josvanr So to clarify - irfanview has this slide show with alpha blending between photos, and the variations are exactly the same size as the original. This results in a smooth "video" where the photo remains the same, but the brightness / contrast / whatever shift slightly. This resembles the slight movements of a live model, or of your head, or of your eye's variations in exposure, in realtime.
It's very dynamic, keeps you sharp. Try it, you will not be disappointed :)
please add some classic music instead of these backyard noises

So fun to watch your process! Your art is very impressive!! Do you paint from life or from photos? And about how long did this painting take you?

@josvanr Very true, you lose so much from a photograph! Thanks for sharing. I love your work and hope to get to your level some day
