An Interesting Idea.....
I have done my share of paintings from 4x6 inch poorly taken photos - not a fun experience.
I have since established a rule in my portraiture that if someone wants me to paint a portrait from a photo that they provide, then I reserve the right to say "No".
Bill Whitaker told me once that there are some people that "should not be painted". He was right. And, there are definately pics that, while they may be nice picture, it does not mean that they will translate into a good piece of art.
So many things about a painting are decided at the composition stage, that it is important to spend sufficient time playing, positioning, and repositioning the forms to ensure that you work out all of the compositional kinks before you begin sketching or painting on the actual work.
