Grids have been used for hundreds of years. By great painters.
Leon Loard Portraits has an entire product line of paintings that are basically colored over photo images. I can promise you that if my dear sweet husband was faced with a photo-ed canvas he would screw it up in 2 minutes, and not have a clue where to go..;No matter how a painter starts, if there is no drawing skill, it can't be rescued.
That is one of the reasons it is so essential to practice regularly from life.
