Sargent worked from life, Eakins from photos. The method used is easy to tell from the end result. There's room for everyone. I prefer work done at least 1/2 from life. I want my work to look like life, not a photo. That's a personal call. We can all make those calls. Wouldn't it be boring if we were all the same?
