I may not be able to see the tiny details but that actually allows me to concentrate on what is important. I won't get caught up in painting detail too soon. It won't allow me to put in more detail than is needed!

Hello, Karen! I also prefer stamping on paper my photos of reference, on sizes near to 4 inches. But if I am employed at bigger formats, also I use bigger impressions. Do you use these sizes to paint big formats?
Thank you!
For larger paintings I still use smaller photos. Sometimes I will use smaller paintings as my reference for larger work.
Hi Karen , I’m trying to figure out how you were able to take these low photos . I envision you squatting or crawling around looking for a few perfect shots! I’m a long time follower so I thought you wouldn’t mind if I asked ! Lol! 🙃
Good question Sandi! I sometimes squat but most times just hold my camera down low and hope for the best!
Hi Karen, I love the idea of printing multiple small photos. Just wondering — what type of printer do you use? My printer runs out of ink in no time if I try to print photos
I have a cheap hp printer. I use the setting for plain paper
