Hey! Thank you!!
I do not use a grid method, usually I make several drawings and then transfer the best one onto the panel.
They are indeed paintings from photo. I'd prefer painting from life wayyyyy more, sadly no one I know wants to sit still for 40 hrs haha (; I'm aware of the distortion a lens can give.
I also prefer to work from a black and white picture, and look at paintings from old masters in the museum for the colors. (I live in the Netherlands so we've got the rembrants and rubens' nearby)
I have a couple of lifedrawing sessions planned, REALLY looking forward to it :D
I don't plan to paint from imagination, it's simply too hard for me to get a good result. Drawing from imagination on the other hand, is something I love to do.
Right now I'm studying a winter landscape from the dutch painter Andreas Schelfhout. I'll try to snap a W.I.P. picture this week in class (:
Cheers! (;
