Thank you!

As for the image, I use a scanner (usually at 600 dpi). Although, The colors will always come out lighter. I alter the levels of the image to get as close to the physical work. In the past, I would just take a photo using my device and edit using Snapseed (which is free on mobile).

I have some watercolor works where I used the second method, though it isn’t as crisp as a scan, it’ still decent! Since watercolors are light and transparent, the colors might come out be dull (ir too light) on camera. Editing is the only other option to make everything clear. Probably obvious, but lighting really is everything. Sometimes I go outside my house just to take a picture LMAO
