Marvin,
I don't think I made my point very well. I was not railing against copying as a means to discipline one's self. Lord knows that's about all I draw these days.
I was hoping for a discussion on how we can transcend the photographic image to make a more artistic creation than the camera is capable of.
After I started this thread, Cynthia posted a reminder in the Guidelines forum about painting from poor source materials. That's not even close to what I meant. I'm talking about taking great source materials, and not going beyond them.
Again, look at the drawing that I referenced. In my opinion, Peggy set a much higher standard than the camera did.
