I've always been such a slave to the photo reference. Watching you explain how and why to make changes is so eye opening! It's as if I've been given a permission slip to change reality. Love this!

It's amazing how important the X, Y, and Z plane (which are hiding in plain sight) is to mapping out a painting.

This is very helpful! A couple of times I was skeptical of the direction of the comments but as soon as you made the crop I suddenly saw it come together. I was yearning see a finished painting from one of these examples to clinch the deal! 😊

Everyone. Yes, most photos have a few paintings in them, some have none and should be discarded or deleted to save you from trying to "manufacture" a painting out of them. That's why I prefer going outside to paint whenever I can, nature does not lie to you, but it is still very "subtle", and it's a challenge, none the less, to find or make a good composition. But you don't have much time to "futz" around with thumbnail sketches and stuff, then the thing that drew you to the scene, initially, has disappeared, maybe forever. That, unless you are lucky enough to go back the next time and day to "re-capture" the scene that inspired you to paint it, and get it down on the panel or canvas, as fast as possible. Anyway, that's my opinion, and it should be yours! ;D Irregardless (yes, I know!! :D), happy painting you all!! ;D LOL

Lots of suppositions. But I’m not convinced…yet. Perhaps if you selected one photo that you altered and turned it into a painting, we could see how it works.
