Next painting study is of artichokes. I’m going half size 11x7, and will use the palette knife again but I’ll use cold wax medium so it dries fast. Here’s the subject, and my setup in the box.pic.twitter.com/W5nnnmlOOl

Wow it’s so clear it looks like a photo. Really nice set up. It makes sense that it’s live because you mentioned the fruit going bad a few tweets ago.
In a way it calls into question the advice that you shouldn't use a photo to paint from. I can setup this box and put my panel right next to it and it's *very* close to a photo. In fact I could probably paste a nice print of the photo there and nobody would know.

I’m sure your paintings are richer for it. Even though cameras are super powered maybe working from a photo you’d lose something. Or maybe I’m romanticizing it too much- ha!

Wait I hadn’t had my coffee yet. Of course you’re using live setup, you’re out there doing plein air under normal circumstances! I’m not sure why I even thought you’d use photo.
