I'm a professional artist that has 20+ years of experience. I tend to work in a realistic style and from life as much as possible; using photographs as little as I can functionally get away with. There are some color and perspective limitations due to the collection of light with the lens of a camera. For this reason I'm not a big fan of photo realism as a style. Instead I like to start with life sketches to develop a composition, color pallet, and perspective and use photography as reference for the details. I mostly use friends and acquaintances as models for my work but I am open to developing a professional work arrangement with models in my area.
