Actually, I do prefer to paint from life and paint that way whenever possible. The question asked in the topic had not been whether it is better to paint from life than from a photograph, but rather, given that one is painting from a photograph, what methods do people use to get the image on the canvas?

Once I have begun putting paint on the canvas, the drawing is quickly obliterated, and I am working by eye from then on. So I don't spend a lot of effort in making a finished drawing, but rather work on locating landmarks accurately on the canvas, to begin from.
