Back to the photographs – because I'll show
you the finished orchids as soon as I can – "final exhibtion" Oddly enough, (with my photographic
ability) the camera robs them of their beauty. I hope I achieved something of
their lovliness in my paintings.
The orchids are: LuSan (Vanda), Yingluck (AscocondoYingluck
Shinawatra) Hapsah (Miltassia). Moth (Phalaenopsis),
Changi (Dendrobium), Spider (or Cambria).
I have identified some of them myself so I could be wrong!
My camera is probably the "top of the
cheap digital range". Nothing too technical like shutter speeds for me. It
is smaller than a pack of cards and what is really great is
that it is a "steady-shot" and can take close ups which are in focus.
I love recording processes (hence the blog)
and I tried to take photos of each orchid during or after I painted it. Unless its avoidable, I prefer to work from life. But
sometimes it's impossible not to work from photos, so no condemnation!
