Traditional Realism
by Gordon Lynch
The theme for these paintings
should be a person doing something. For that reason, they are usually
painted from a snapshot of a special occasion or memorable experience.
"I really enjoy working from snapshots or photos that capture a
moment, rather than always working from a typical head and shoulders
'studio' photograph."
Look
for a photograph that is sharp, in focus, and has good contrast. Photos
that were taken on a sunny day will give the best contrast and technically
make the best photos to work from.
Please remember that the size of the painting may limit the amount
of detail that can be incorporated into a likeness.
