Duncan on black paper phase 2

I put more lights on the left background and added some orange to tie in with the subject. This is also taken in cool light and not as bright as the real painting.

You can see where I taped it off to cover it in ink. After almost dry, I weighed it down to make it flat again.

I will blend the background more and add whiskers.

Duncan on white paper phase 2

I worked on this one today and like it a lot better. I'm not sure I'm finished.

This is taken when sky is overcast, and I will try another photo with the sun out. The oranges look dull here.

I'll have another go at it.

Purple Roses

This is the final piece. I like the light on the edges of the petals. This was fun to do.
