Day 13 – Uncalibrated

This is Day 13 of my 100 Days of Wall Art project. You can learn more about my 100 Day Project here.

About this Piece

Two days ago, my trusty monitor died, and I had to order a new one. Not an anticipated expense, and certainly not one I enjoyed shopping for. It came this evening and even though I bought a higher end one with (supposedly) pre-set color calibration for art use…um….well…let’s just say it’s not. So I futzed around with it for an hour, and it’s still oversaturating the cyans. I did try to adjust accordingly by looking at this image on my laptop and also my phone, but it still doesn’t look exactly like the real-life piece.

The yellow contains some Cernit Neon Yellow. Please be aware that digital sensors can’t really capture fluorescent colors accurately, and I know this is part of the problem. I had trouble with the magenta on Day 10, looking red because of this.

Construction Details

I’ll share progress pics and how-to information in each day’s post in the 100 Days Section of Blue Bottle Insiders. You can see all my projects (so far!), along with those of dozens of other members who are posting their daily projects as well. You can join Insiders here.
