Painting from Photographs

Summer

This photograph proves to me why I have to be very discerning when painting from them.

Quite right, that blue van in the bottom left looks awful!

We must be on the same wave length.  That is the first thing I saw that was wrong with this photo.  Hmm.

But I love this photo. You purists really get my goat   I s'pose if the the scene were painted en plein air it would be ok. Not! There are a couple of goats who need to be moved. The van is fine. It's just the wrong colour.

LOL.  I love this photo too, Rob, but mainly because I only drink goat's milk--haha.  True fact.  The casein A1 vs. A2 thing.  Agree with you about the color of the van.     lol
