Yesterday I dragged an old project out and dusted it off. (here)
Looks like this is going to work, so today I did a couple of things: 1. I didn’t really care for the exact hue of the coffee image so I used Paint.Net to color-shift all 42 images from umber towards sienna. 2. I used Paint.Net to resize the same set from 200×200 to 200×115 pixels, or, from ROUND images to ELLIPSE images.
Then I tested again by making a fast 10-image save of the morph using ArtRage (which plays well with Paint.Net, as both programs can use the Photoshop .psd Format.)
The result? you decide.
Concept Test 3
Another Day in the Studio 
So weird.. I was just discussing this morning what umber and sienna were as colors with my 16 year-old daughter (Amanda) who loves to draw/paint/sculpt/knit/roll in mud, etc.
Serendipity is a wonderful thing, isn’t it? Here’s one for you: I’d been using the color “Ultramarine” blue for many years, assuming it just meant “really-really blue”. Right. Then one day I looked it up. In Europe pigments were precious commodities and the blue was so-so. But the Lapis pigment imported from Asia was better and referred to as “ultramarinus” as it came from – the other side of the sea. 🙂
