Finished this little painting yesterday. I had no idea how phallic it looked until it was complete. I'm sure Freud would have a few things to say about this. I'm happy with how the painting itself turned out, but I'm not happy with how it scanned in. Scanners have a tendency to pick up on a lot of "invisible" texture unseen by the eye in flat light. As a result, the soft/smoky look I work to achieve is destroyed as every single dust particle and brush stroke is picked up by the scanner. I managed to negate this by softening it up a bit in Photoshop, but it's not perfect.
Unfortunately, scanning is the only option I have at the moment until I get a high quality camera (which I'm hoping to get this Christmas).
Acrylics, airbrush, graphite
