Painters Tip
I have been running into a lot of artists who do not paint from life. They are using tracing paper or projectors to put the outline image onto their canvases and then painting from reference photos. I have no problems at all with that method. I would like to suggest to them that they add sessions on painting from life to their regular routine. Just setting up a couple of apples or pears is fine. Get a lamp and shine a light on one side or the other so that the light source is clear. Do a few small paintings and drawings each week from life to enhance your skill level and all of your painting will improve, whether you paint from life or not. If you are doing landscapes from photos all of the time, please sit out in the yard and observe trees and land each week. Do some small pencil sketches from life if you do not wish to paint on location. Think of painting from life as an extra tool in your box.
