Did some more today, two of them inspired by this scene from Baldur's Gate [assets.rockpapershotgun.com] since I just love the colour combinations on the foliage, and have wanted to recreate it ever since I first played the game over 20 years ago.
Another is just some random clouds and flower field thing to test the absorption rate and blending quality of a new water colour pad I got at today.

I've put the Baldur's Gate under the last night; I think I actually like the results from photographing it with my phone better. The makes it look rather pale, and some of the brush strokes seem to stand out more?
It can probably be improved quite a bit in post-processing, but I was hoping for better results straight out of the box.
(I also need to do manual cropping, as it doesn't recognise the borders well enough...)

Fellow , any recommendations when scanning or otherwise your work?

@FiXato Phone looks often better, because the algorithm does a good amount of post-pro on every image.

Most important thing is good lighting. Visibility of brush strokes depend a lot on the direction of your light source, so you could try different angles.

@MartinLeurs
different angle is a good point! Hadn't considered that, thanks!
