As using the same palette of a great artist does not automatically make us as good as him, so using photos does not make a good painting, unless we have the skill to go beyond the photo; a skill which you can only aquire by painting life at any occasion.

Llaria,
It would be an interesting experiment to take a person from birth, give him the mission to paint people portraits. But, he can never ever paint from life, only from the photos he takes. It would be interesting to see how he would turn out.
The truth is this fiendish experiment continues to be carried out on me.
