normally i wait until the surface of the painting is dry to scan them digitally. but for this blog i have been taking a picture with the camera. my scans come out much crisper and higher resolution. the problem with my paintings is when they are wet, they are so highly reflective. you definately cannot use the flash and the lighting has to be just right, which i can't seem to find. maybe one of these days...
the paintings usually take about 3-4 weeks to dry, depending on the outside weather, the hotter the shorter time to dry. i paint really thick, so even though the surface is dry, underneath they will take a few months. the beauty of oil paints is that they dry slowly. the beast of oil paints is that they dry slowly. the beauty of acrylics is that they dry quickly. the beast of acrylics is that they dry quickly.
