Thank you so much! Yes, the color comes from alterations from light reflection. It's difficult to describe, but the changes in color you get from viewing angle aren't as strong as what you get from a soap bubble, but they are definitely there. If you think of the colors you can get from this process in a spectrum, viewing angle can give you about a half step up or half step down. The spectrum runs from: tan, brown, deep blue, light blue, yellow, magenta, light blue again, purple, green, pearl scent.

I've found lighting makes a huge difference though - diffuse lighting like what I have around the house is great. I've got some prints hanging in a gallery that only has spot lights, for those you have to make sure there is a path for the light to bounce off the spotlight into your eyes or the whole print just looks faded and grey.

Thanks!

Sadly I don't know of a way to do that on lemmy. I do have an Instagram (ti.prints) because selling your soul to Zuck seems to be the only way for artists to stand a chance of selling their work :/

Lemmy doesn't have a user follow function. Womp womp 🙁

I think it's to prevent abuse, but I'd love to follow some artists here as well.

Stencils/masking is the way more straightforward and normal way to do this!
