In preparation for our Art Series Challenge that we're working on together (yay!), I thought this would be a good time to talk about issues that arise when we paint or make art from a photo. In this video I talk about the benefits and challenges when we draw visual imagery from photographs. This is part 1 of a 2 part series. Next time I'll talk about color when using a photo as a reference, and this time I'm talking about composition.
