Quote: Quote: ...but instead he likes photos better. Quote: I've noticed that very old people have a genuine appreiation for modern conveniences that the next generation along don't have. They get nostalgic for things that were disappearing even as they were youngsters. The really old folks appreciate central heating, flush toilets, and TV.I don't think central heating and flush toilets are going anywhere. Quote: Quote: Though he does kind of have a point, since the painter could have duplicated a photo he took of Mumph instead.Quote: I'm told that artists disdain the use of photos as models/ I'm sure Vizh could elaborate.It's because photos are "flat" and don't really encourage much exploration of detail, and because a live model might change expression or pose just slightly and provide more inspiration. Plus photos don't really have such great resolution as far as artists are concerned. But, for someone who's really busy and doesn't have a few hours to stand around, a photo will work fine. | |||||||
