I notice a lot of watercolours lately that seem very very near to photographic
,is it possible by photographing a scanned picture very lightly on to a bockingford watercolour paper and then over painting it with genuine watercolours..or acrilycs, and completly fooling the average punter ....my self, I notice the difference in perspective that a camera gives ,,I admit I get ideas from a photo ,but I very often place my self lower down in the actual view shown on the photo ,and make my own version of it .,,painting a view of say bottles ,cups etc the cameras angle of view is not as obvious ...
could it be a tabboo subject ..give us your views
