I get it!..LOL, and will start looking for models. The problem I have though, is all I really want to paint are children. I happen to have 3 beautiful children, I have spent three days trying to get a decent photo of just ONE, ANYONE! and they all stink and I'm tired.
Anyway, I will continue to take more, and then aggravate the mess out of my neices and nephews.You are all right, I need to practice both ends of this spectrum anyway.
HOWEVER, for what it's worth, I asked the same question in the legal section at wet canvas and this was the response given to me-
"As long as you do not sell the work, and make very sure to document your source of the photo and title it "Study," you will then be operating under "Fair Use".
There is nothing wrong with using studies in your portfolio, as long as you make sure anyone viewing them will not confuse your work as an original, hence the word "study" and the source citing."
