I love the nice green tones all around. The painting has something stylish. Hmm.. I can't find the correct word.
If I scan my watercolors, most of the time, a lot of tones get killed by the scanner. Maybe I should lookout for another one.. *sigh*
I played majorly with the levels in Photoshop to get it to where it basically "should" be. The tones are still a bit muted in comparison. But I pushed the grey/black levels, and then I took down the saturation of the colors a bit (because the yellows/greens were like... neon bright, which they're not), and I also took down the hue a couple notches. Basically I just held the watercolor up to my computer screen and did comparison until it basically fit to what it should be.
I hate scanning watercolors too!
And thankyou. I think it became overly influenced by my tribal drawings, and by a fox painting I did a couple years ago.
Fidds: I find that with watercolors, all you really need is patience. I think a problem a lot of people have with them is the fact that they don't wait long enough for the paper to dry. Fortunately, where I live it's SUPER dry in the air, and thusly, paper dries quick so I don't have to be too patient. Mwaha
Evisceration is a sign of respect.
