I'm very much a novice at this, but thought a different perspective might be useful. I found this photo of my son on my computer (which he uses from time to time). He shot it himself with my digital camera (Canon Powershot S50). The mood and composition inspired me to paint this watercolor portrait. To prepare the source photo, I opened it in Photoshop and replaced the distracting background clutter with a gradient.
