Reference Photo, 06

Again, the source for yesterday's painting. Another example of how I use photoshop like a pair of blunt children's scissors to put two of myself in the same picture. Me on the left, me on the right, the laughing couple. Details like whether or not the eyes are meeting or that the wig is obvious are corrected of course in the painting. Another thing people seem to like about these work photos is the wear & tear they endure throughout the making of the painting - this is a scan of the picture I worked from, in hand while painting.
