Use your own reference photos for painting! (10x better)

Finding reference photos for paintings SUCKS! So from now own I'm taking and editing my own. I've often had ideas get tossed out because I couldn't find the right references or I'd end up getting too influenced but what I was seeing so it would ruin the original idea. So this was my first attempt at using my own.

Got off work, sat down and watched your video. Thank you, I enjoyed it and I found it relaxing. My favorite thing is watching someone’s creative process whether it’s painting, building, repairing, restoring, or a combination.

I’m a self taught music producer, songwriter, composer, photographer, videographer, and I’ve been feeling called to try painting one day but thought it may take too long to devote to. Watching this makes it feel INCREDIBLY accessible. Wow. You just helped to streamline unnecessary trial and error and show how doable it is to learn with these structures and methods. Thanks so much! 🙏

Not you being a painter, filmmaker, and a comedian 😂

I’m glad I got to see you paint this on live and see the video with ✨ pizzazz ✨ Keep up the great work, you’re killer!

Beautifully made video - so many takes. Love the bit about the stare and lip-biting. Some people in the art community would complain that the painting stereotypes young people as mindless dreamers unaware of their and others' interests, and might ask " why don't you speak with some younger people and collaborate with them in community project to feel out their anxieties" etc. But I guess you wanted to make a painting that freezes a point at which a decision could go either way, right? I wonder if you've considered a projector for efficiency? Your concept is what carries your day, so why not cut the unnecessary fat?
