Here's my last best hope. I'd like to be able to use photos AND benefit from live sittings. I personally think it can be the best of both worlds. I use color sketches with photos to make large landscapes. My stills are all from life.I think portrait and figure work can be made using both. I'm told Boug. used both-good enough for me!
If I'm painting sunshine on white at 20 minutes before sundown I cannot quess the right color (value, temp. hue, intensity etc). I know most pro shooters are better than me and I need to get better. The digital stuff is of interest to me too. Honestly it's only because I'm seeing some very strong work done with the camera nowadays that I'm even thinking along these lines. I saw one of Karin's stills of watermelon and was sure it was done from life. That it was NOT turned my world upside-down...which is good for my world sometime.
