The Navajo mud doll's back


Even though this doll is brightly colored, I saw an image of her in my mind's eye in shades of sienna. I thought the best medium to try to capture that image that would be oil paint. Unfortunately, I can't put the painting in the scanner because it's wet, so I'm back to the photographing art frustration that I had when I first started this blog. When I take a photograph, the image ends up looking whiter and less warm than it actually is. The image on the scanner is more true to life. I hope to find a solution to this before I start experimenting with oil painting during my holiday break.
