It makes it so much easier because you can see every pore in someone's face so it is almost more real than real life.<br />I think the thing about painting from photos is to not , keep it painterly, because for some reason it starts to look like it is from a photo if it is too tight.<br />The actual painitng is so much better than what is on my blog. Once again you lose all the subtleties.<br />I should post the original photo.sandra floodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12309366740236791609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7151047669244968586.post-15798657558515478592010-06-25T08:50:43.696-05:002010-06-25T08:50:43.696-05:00Wonderful painting; I think you did an outstanding...Wonderful painting; I think you did an outstanding job on his eyes, too!Leslie Sealeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572465378315424070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7151047669244968586.post-24567528900192588182010-06-25T08:45:54.791-05:002010-06-25T08:45:54.791-05:00Well, you did a fantastic job of making the painti...Well, you did a fantastic job of making the painting feel as though it was painted from life.
