Scans usually provide a white background but with the scanner cover open...

This scan has an ethereal feel to it- especially seeing this one in color and with a darkened back ground; gives me ideas for future experiments with my own scanner!

I was completely surprised by the results. Holding the branch in my hand, I pressed down to decrease the overall depth of the combined twigs. I had to paint out my thumb! :-)

Hi John.
ReplyDeleteI'm a friend and coworker of Marcia's. She sent me a link to your blog so I would be aware of your documenting the progression of the botanical illustration course.
I keep threatening to take it one of these days, but just haven't had the time.
But to stay out of trouble, I do scan stuff once a month for the Garden Bloggers Bloom Day with varying results. You can see some of the results here:
