Best Answer To Painting Question

If you have a good 35mm camera, and have something like a portrait lens, your best bet would be to use that. Set up by putting your painting against a black fabric (I use black felt). You will need two lights, set on either side at an angle. I take color slides of my work and then make color prints from those if I need prints. Most galleries and art shows require slide sumbission.

Answer 1

Scanned artwork can have different colors from the original. However, high quality scanners -- least 1200dpi 'optical' (not interpolated) resolution, and 32-bit color -- should be able to duplicate colors accurately. When scanning make sure the artwork is flat and not inside a frame.
