Adam,
If your artist friend has a number of relatively small watercolors, charcoal 
drawings or pen and ink drawings, the best way to photograph them is to 
simply scan them on a large format flatbed scanner. Kinkos, Office Depot or 
Staples usually has machines which scan material up to 24" wide. I 
personally have a scanner which will do 14 x 17 images. The scanner holds 
everything flat and provides even lighting. It works on smaller paintings 
too. It is dead easy.?
