My son showed me his early-stage water color painting this evening. It is beginner exercise where one fills in the outlines, learns to mix colors, and practices precision. I was struck by the detailed and textured background of the paper. So I set it on a collapsible speedlight softbox and lit it through the paper. There is a lot of detail in the paper, but you first have to look away from the high-contrast bird.
goo.gl/eYiuqH is a picture of the setup.
