A couple of recent paintings vs their reference image ✨ I like to share these comparisons as a little reminder for anyone just starting out or struggling with perfectionism that you don’t need to copy your reference images exactly I know I’ve said this dozens of times now, but I think it’s an important lesson that’s always worth repeating. You’re allowed to pick and choose what details to include - focus on making a good painting and try not to worry about how true to the reference you are
