Can someone lend me a photo?
Sounds silly, I know, but I'd like a really good reference for a change. Sharon has told me to start using better quality photos. I'm really seeing the value of that advice now.
Since I don't have a high-end camera, and I'd rather spend my free time developing painting skils rather than photography skills (for now), I'm asking for a favor.
Could you provide me with a reference photo that you have not used in a painting? Not one of your clients. That could get sticky, but many of you have posted great pictures of your children, relatives, etc.
The photos posted here are low resolution, because of the posting requirements. I'd need the original, high res version emailed to me. It doesn't need to be a photo that was previously posted on SOG forums. Whatever good photo you have is fine. Presumably it would be a photo that was taken with the intent to use as a reference for painting, and has the qualities of a good photo reference, as defined by the many discussions here on that topic.
As I said, it should not be one of your commission clients, nor should it be a reference that you've used (or plan to use) in a painting. It seems like that could cause conflicts.
Sending me a picture implies your consent for me to paint it and post the results on a password-protected area of SOG (If I ever figure out how to get into them).
I do not intend to sell or publicly display the painting without your consent.
Thanks
