Lighting is key

This little gem was tricky. While mixing the colours everything looked great. Now when I put paint to canvas it wasn’t so great…. I’ve put up with poor lighting in my studio for longer then I would like to admit. So I did some research and came across a youtube video by Lena Danya talking about her studio lighting, soft boxes were highly recommended. When I saw the prices I was like cmon there’s got to be a more practical way to get some lighting in here. While searching for a cell phone holder so I could create this time lapse I found a cell phone holder with a 5000k selfie ring attached to it. Perfect best of both worlds I get the lighting and I get the extra hand to hold my phone. Of course it wasn’t enough lighting but walking through the dollar store I found some 5000k lightbulbs. boom pop em in day and night! (literally) As soon as I grabbed my pallet from the fridge it was a horror scene the colours were so off! Lucky I got to mixing and salvaged the damage I had done. Voila lesson learned art made all in a good days work.
