Hey :) i'm a professional photographer and i would recommend to not use f 8 - 11 instead i would go there and look what is my open aperture and shut down twice. So if I have 1.8 which is often the case if you bought a 50 mm lens you go close the aperture by 2 so its 2.2 for the best sharpness of the picture. In photography you think in layers and a drawing mostly all on the same layer so you dont need a higly closed aperture i hope this makes sense :) greetings! I love your art and your videos :)
jpegs by their nature have compression built into them. For artwork you should save a copy as uncompressed TIF files. Then you can make duplicates for file size, sharing, posting. It is much easier to make smaller versions later on than trying to add quality. So get one "master" copy.
Thank you. You help me see my art goals reachable and that’s very nourishing. Your art experience seems way above my grade since I’m just starting to produce professionally, yet how you share and explain things makes it so relatable you help me imagine myself doing what you teach. Godspeed and I hope you keep up the videos.
Found your channel today, mid-breakdown while trying to work through the kinks of opening my print studio. You're an angel. I love you. Thank you for your videos. I consider you one of my new best friends.
Thank you! For these valuable tips, you used as an example a painting with a dark background, the most difficult because they reflect more light! by the way, you have a piece of paradise in that garden. You have great charisma and it is a great added value to your videos.
9:48 TIFF is better for high quality prints and it's the professional format for printing. Jpg or jpeg originally was used to have smaller files to fit on diskettes. So this format packs the data with every new saving, so data gets lost along the way.
as someone really wanting to start a career in art, you’re so inspiring. i admire your thoughtfulness and insight in these videos, and you cultivate a comfortable, positive space for your community ❤ so much love for you and your beautiful artwork!
I love watching your videos. You are bliss to watch and I love your nuances as you speak. By the way I'm watching from South Africa. Keep making the best content. ❤❤❤
I love the game you play in your videos. Keeps me coming back for more. And those dimples. And your insanely excellent art. Mostly the art. Liked and subscribed. 🤩
I love your videos! I just love your sense of humour - you are hilarious! ❤😂❤ …. Learning loads on the business side of being an artist as well. keep ‘em coming!
Bravo ,my garden 🪴 inspiration is renewed by this video ,I was just about to give up , any how my interest in making photo copy of my art creations has blossomed because of your video , love your music ,keep up the great work
Thank you! this was helpful. I would appreciate more videos like this. And maybe a budgeting for artists video? As a small artist I'm finding the book keeping and the knowing how much things should cost difficult. A pricing video would also be helpful
Hi, you are a great artist and your videos are super cute and fun. Thanks for sharing how you take your photos. I would love to see how you light your studio to record. The result you get is very professional and beautiful. Thank you so much! 😊❤
You are equal parts flowing fountain of incredibly detailed information and fun, entertainment! Love your personality, approach and your freaken garden! A bit jealous obviously. Power to you! May your beautiful art and channel have much success!
Hi Brooke, I really loved your quirky but fun loving approsch to the subject of how to sell ones artwork. It is very informstive and cleverly explained. Could you possibly do another video that deals solely with how to photograph ones srtwork using a camrra and showing details of how to set up the camera etc. I have subscribed to your channel ❤😅
Honestly, it is so hard to find good quality channels with the over saturation of media but what a great channel! Quality info, video quality, and the hosts personality 💣🙂 love it.
Oh my goodness, I just have to say this is the first video I've seen of yours and I've fallen in love with your personality! But in all seriousness great content, very informative and just what I was looking for. You have earned another subscriber and customer. 😊❤
2:36 the background, teal wall, helps you pop but curious what camera you’re using. Image looks extremely crisp and skin tones look very natural. I’m impressed. Made me subscribe.
Thanks for sharing your process, knowledge & experiences, especially the companies you like using for drop shipping. (Fully enjoy your entertaining persona as well. 😉)
Ty. I've been wondering how to go about these things,having never gone to art school. I've heard from others,they don't actually teach students the biz side of thinfs anyhow,which is sad. We need more people like yoyrself,willing to help others get started.
Loved the video as always. I was hoping to see your photoshop/lightroom process as well. It's good to hear customers don't get upset if you "improve" the artwork for the print. I use a scanner stitched together and end up with a 4 gig tiff file for each one.
Thank you very much. I learned alot and really appreciate the info. I've got alot of paintings and need some extra cash so I need to get on the stick. You helped alot.
Thanks so much 👍 this video is very helpful, just I have a question about the best camera for artists: Which Camera to choose for filming long TH-cam video tutorials without heating problems?
You're such a good entertainer btw. I know you said you had a bit of hesitancy moving over to TH-cam from Instagram to promote your art but you're really entertaining and funny. I also loved the print and the explanation, it was super clear and detailed
Hello there! Thank you SO much for all these tips and tricks. What is your opinion on having a giclee print service scan your artwork for you - especially if your work is very large?
Really great Video. A lot of good tips. Do you have any more information about the Editing of the Pictures? I am in the process of digitalizing a lot of my artwork and this step is not fully clear to me.
Not sure where you are but beautiful garden. Mine is too hard to handle with such a big yard time to downsize and simplify so I can focus on my art. I’m a little confused in the video they were talking about sharpness and the F stops two or three stops down was one comment and then somebody said blurriness over F 11 so I’m not sure what they’re saying again, I’m learning the camera stuff because I’ve been more focused on other things like marketing and specific online printers so that I could at least start and grow. The video is packed full of knowledge I used to have a icon, but I know that there are a lot of canon printers out there and I’m thinking staying with a canon vibe would make things easier for all of my other purchases to work while together, what digital program do you put your photos on to look at Adobe? as far as color correction, I’ve seen various comments about color checker. Is that a program or is that just a little screen that you can overlay to check?
I'll be great if you made a video about how to use lightroom and photoshoot more in depth to remove unwanted shadows and stuff. I'm so lost with lightroom and photoshop. I'm trying to digitalize my drawings but somehow the overall color is too cold or too warm and I get this shadow on the corners of the image. 😫
Since I’m based in EU, I have had to use Prodigi. The colour shift was shocking. Prints were dull and dark, although I followed their instructions to colour management. Then I came across a local drapery that also happens to print billboards and signs for small businesses in the area. They did a test run of the same files I had sent to Prodigi, and the result was amazing. And they are damn cheap compared to those international fine art drop shipping companies. Can’t still believe my luck considering I’m based in a rural area
Yeah it can be a hit or miss with Prodigi! I think it has something to do with what facility it's printed at... for example I received some from the UK that looked great, but then received some printed in the Netherlands and they were very dull (had to request a reprint). That's so awesome you found a local printer who gets the job done well! So much better that way 🙌

Thanks so much for the advice! I appreciate it and will try it out next time 👍 😊
@@b.cormier I second this advice. This is pretty much true that most lense are sharpest at two to three stops down.
I would actually love to know what lighting & lenses to use for Canon R5 Mark II with artwork about A3 - A1 😍 Thankyou!

This is PERFECT! thank you ❤
You're such a good entertainer btw. I know you said you had a bit of hesitancy moving over to TH-cam from Instagram to promote your art but you're really entertaining and funny. I also loved the print and the explanation, it was super clear and detailed

Thanks for the tips sis. Love this video 🤍🙏🏻
Thanks for watching! Hope it was helpful! :)
Hi, do you ever print any art that has gold or silver metallic on it and if so how do you make sure this shine shows on the actual print?
I’m actually in a studio with a bunch of artists. Do you have a recommendation as to which type of e of printer to purchase?
You are hilarious, very informative thank you!
Thanks a lot Lisa! :)
This was great, I love the injected humor. 😂
Great job!
Could you make a video where you show more in details how you using lightroom and photoshop. Thank you!
I'll keep it in mind for a future video! :)
This image would make a great album cover
You kinda sound like Kat Dennings low key lol Top tier garden tour also! I hope it's still going strong this spring 💪🏽
