Rainbow Water

Blackvault · 2 Feb 2007 at 18:55

I decided to have a little play about with my water shots from last month and a mate mentioned the rainbow as an idea so I decided to use the colour spectrum as the main feature.

I think that this would work well on Canvas. Each image of the glass could be on a separate canvas and would be part of the six that make up the final piece of art.

Any Comments welcome.

Hi

Thanks for all the comments. I might get them printed on canvas and put up in my room.

Johnny do you think that five different shots would work well? I'm not so sure. Although I'll have a play about in Photoshop

I was thinking for more the purpose of your plan. If you offered them as a 6 piece canvas set at say £40 each (prob a lot more for canvas) people are only gonna end up buying one.. offering 6 unique ones will make them look like a set and probably shift better.

Were only talking about alterations to the waters motion in the glass. Composure would be the same.

I hadn't thought about selling them, more for my room and decoration but I'll think about it. And ideas of getting them sold?

I'd agree with getting them printed individually onto canvas and that would allow you to do various layouts etc.

Very quick and dirty example:-

Wow that does look good. I work in a place that can do canvases for me. For the smallest size 10X10 its £49.99 each :eek:

That's a total of £299.94 I think I might just get them printed onto 10x10 photo paper instead.

Thanks

Can I ask how you got the perfect white background for the shot? Was it just edited out in photoshop or did you use a white wall or something?

Hi there

This is the thread.

I used a piece of A2 paper and then just mask selected the white background and pushed the levels to give that white colour. RGB - 255,255,255.

You probably won't believe this, but for printing canvas prints this site is just incredible.

Intelligence Direct

A 10"x10" (25x25cm) print onto lightweight poly canvas, unmounted, and with a 2 cm border (which I have used before and looks great) costs... wait for it.... £2.62. Yes, you read that right. 6 10"x10" prints would be £15.72, plus about £6-7 for delivery.

I have used them before - I just couldn't believe the prices when I first came across it!

The only problem is that those are unmounted. My boss only stretches his own stuff as he leaves at least 4 inches bored round the picture to help with the stretching.

Thanks for the info
