Use of Photos in Paintings

 

Photos for Paintings

 

This is probably an example of the type of photo NOT to use for a painting.  

 

First, is was taken while speeding along the road.  I don't think we could even slow down.   Second,  even with zoom feature, it was hard to see.  You could argue that this photo prevent you from doing too much detail.  You can see why I used the blue-green background. 

 

Anyway, if I can get a photo of a cow or a sheep, I try my best to do it. 

I used this painting for my 30 in 30 challenge.  So many artists signed up for it this year.  Here is a link to the website.  http://lesliesaeta.blogspot.com/
