Scanning

This is the part that begins some really tedious work.......

As I did with the long drawing of the Green Bridge...
I'm doing with the long drawing of Vernon's Farm...

(Booger (Muse) oversees the ordeal)

The drawing is too long to get one good photograph....
the 3 pieces didn't really fit....
ends further from the lens were smaller...
assembled, it's internet worthy...
but, not up to my standards for a Giclee.

problems...

I didn't want to attempt to scan this one....
photography was easier...
but, wondered if it could be improved upon if I scanned it myself.....

It's mulberry paper
that got stretched and moved around by crayons and water and pressure...

6 pieces are now matched up in overlapping sections...
which I've got to re-size in Photoshop...
to reassemble in Painter...
Painter is having problems with my larger ideas...
might be the computer...

This has become a real pain....
but, I'm going to see it through to a remarkable print...
which, I do myself.

Oh, this part of it all is so not fun....
but, there is only one long drawing...
only a few know about this one, and most of them want a print....
and I really want to be able to give them the best I can....
that's all there is to it.

Hatching hungry misquitos
are keeping me in the studio....
no more long drawings for a while.
