Fawn

"Fawn"  (pastel, 7x5 inches)  click here to bid

Another unimaginative name to go with "Buck" and "Doe". At least I'm being consistent.

This is an example of how sometimes a very low contrast photo can be instantly 'auto-leveled' in Photoshop to make for a beautiful painting reference. Below is my original photo:

 It was a drizzly, gray afternoon. But thanks to Adobe Photoshop, one click of auto levels, and I was able to crop out this lovely pose!

Just about any photo editing software will do the same; maybe not with one click, but adjusting contrast and color is what it does.

    1. Hi Pam, I'm not finding any messages from you on my FB. Did you get the message I posted on your blog a while back? Why don't we skip the technology, and if you can print the photo, mail to me at PO Box 310184, New Braunfels, TX 78131.
