I love you, Paint My Photo!

Posted by Sherry L. Massey on January 31, 2012 at 11:11am 1 Comment

I have to say that I love this site.  So many beautiful photographs, so much inspiration!  And without having to dig out my old photos, which are in bins within bins and in closets.  So far, I've painted one of Gwen Card's beautiful photos and have added many photos from other photographers to my favorites list.  And I've only been through about 100 pages of inspiration!  Many many more to go! 

I'm a slow painter and while I've also painted with oils, my favorite medium is…

Welcome Mr. Kingfisher

Just saw the posting of another beautiful Kingfisher painting and it reminded me of a video that I posted on FB but obviously not everyone is one there - he is regular visitor here and in the winter comes so much closer to the house which in turn helps us to capture his image.- so here it is....

Wildlife paintings

Posted by Gina Rahman on January 21, 2012 at 8:39am 0 Comments

I am really getting into painting animals and wildlife paintings at the moment.

 

I found a great compeition via someone on face book last night, however you have to pay £25.00 to enter, the prize is £10,000 I think so well worth it.

 

Currently do not have the funds to enter and anyhow I think that the level is pretty high and my start into the world of wildlife paintings does not currently compare.

 

Here is the link though if anyone is…

Adult close ups that look unposed

Started by Gail Larcom in Photo Request Centre yesterday. 0 Replies

I put this request in the general discussion forum, but looks like it should be here instead.I really like to paint people posed sort of like the masters did--they don't look posed, but the light is very good for light and shadows (usually from the…Continue

Hi, new here, and just searched for my request for photos of up close adults (warning: it's very specific!--picky even!)

Started by Gail Larcom in General Discussion. Last reply by Gail Larcom yesterday. 1 Reply

I REALLY appreciate this site! I want to do portraits and full figure paintings, kind of like the masters' type of poses: that is, they don't look posed, and have great lighting, usually from the side. Also, white is the best color to wear, because…Continue

It seems there are still members who don't know how to add a link to the original reference photo to their painting description so rather than e-mail people individually as I have been doing until now I thought I'd post a "How To" here in the hope…Continue
