Color pencils with splatter

Let the coloring begin.

I decided to use color pencils as the subject of the second image.  The pencils were acting like a diva and DEMANDED specific lighting.  After much arguing with the manager of this diva, I gave in and did a three light set up.

Items used:

• Diva color pencils

Camera settings:

• Exposure - 1/60th at F 4.2
• Focal Length - 100mm
• ISO - 100

Process:

I used one of my light stands as a pencil holder and I took a couple of shots per color.  One flash was used to make to blow out the background and keep it white.  The other two were used as the main and fill lights.  The images of each color pencil was loaded into Photoshop where I set one layer per pencil.  The color of the pencil was matched in Photoshop and I took a "paint splatter" brush to create the splatter effect.

**Enjoy**
