RE: Sketching Rembrandts Portrait of an Old Man - in Charcoal - Original content for Steemit

in #art7 years ago

I do appreciate your comments!
The best is to use an SLR camera with a nice 50mm lens, closest lens to eye focus length. Set up the artwork properly on a wall, light it the way it was meant to be lit and use a tripod at the perfect distance to get a perfect picture.
Capturing the artwork as close to how a human eye views it is about the only way to do it justice and our eyes have a specific focal point which creates a distortion that you can't get from a scanner, plus artwork isn't meant to be viewed at nose length which is what it feels like when digitised.
So much easier to just whip out the phone thou! :)
This one looks pretty bad online in this post but under the right light it looks really nice, framed it would look pretty decent.
