If cameras were available during the Renaissance, do you think the old masters would have incorporated them into their tool box?
Yes, absolutely. But, like we all ultimately should and IMO, must do, they would have also realized they needed the experience of painting and drawing from life in order to really excell. Life is a journey, so is art. We must grow.
