slow going. . .

The adding art listings to the etsy shop is a slow process for me and rather frustrating if I'm honest. 😕  Photography is not among my strongest skills, and some of these paintings are particularly challenging. 

Oh don't get me wrong, I love painting and I generally love the art I create (with a few exceptions) but between the metallic paints, the iridescent mixer and the gloss varnish finishes it is VERY hard to get clear, color accurate, good photos to make listings. 😣

I like to use all 10 photo slots when creating a listing and often in order to get 10 good use-able photos I end up taking dozens of each painting.  Yesterday I photographed 3 paintings, took over 80 photos and by the time I deleted the fuzzy, mis-focused, off colored, badly shadowed, etc. I only ended up creating 2 listings this morning.  This is a recurring thing for me sadly. 

I just keep trying and if I take enough photos eventually I end up with use-able photos or at least passable photos. 😏
