due to various reasons the paintings were never made, but the misses said she is gonna make a few in the next few weeks/months , so if anyone else has some nice pictures.....post em please.
no idea my friend, its just a pic someone sent me one day and I always thought to myself... wouldnt it be cool to run naked through that lot... but thats a different story for another day :smile:
If the picture is to be painted, then surely the pic of the weed plant doesn't actually need to be outside? A nice photo of an outdoor scene, and a nice photo of a plant that would look at home outside would surely be of equal inspirational value to a painter.
paint one of these. But as an artist myself, I find that painting from life gives you a much more lively looking painting. Cameras lose depth perception, so your painting will look flat compared to if you paint from live observation.
You need to paint from observation and not a picture. Believe me it makes a huge difference. Your eyes have depth perception, and a camera does not. When you paint what you see in reality everything will pop off the canvas.
Painting from observation is what separates a good artist from a great one.
