Black and white copies
Barbara, I think you have done an excellent job on this portrait and it has been interesting to watch the suggestions for improvements and how your painting has evolved.
I don't have Photoshop but I'm reading a lot about it. I have a WIP posted and wanted to get a better idea of the values so I took my reference photo to Kinko's and made a couple of black and white copies. It was helpful to enlarge the photo to the size I'm working on, as Garth suggested in one of his posts having the same size to look at is helpful.
I'm now wondering about how valuable Photoshop might be but that's a subject for another threat.
Barbara, I will continue to watch as you improve this painting. I think it's amazing that you can so easily correct something once it's pointed out to you, not everybody can do that. And that's what is so great about this forum, all the help people are willing to give.
Joan
