I suppose I could buy a slide projector, and invite my non artist friends over and set them up with all of my tools and project an image on the canvas and ask them to produce the image as it is seen on the canvas. What do you suppose the results would be?

I don't use any such device because, well..... I don't have one. But if I did, and I needed to use it to block in my composed work quickly, I would use it. This would not determine the desired outcome of depth, richness of color and edges lost and found. The outcome is determined in my heart and vision.

I do not think any less of any artist who uses all of the tools available to produce that which is in their heart to produce.

Just my 2 cents.
