Painting from a Drawing part 2 (Patreon)

Ideally when you are making a painting from a drawing you will have a lot of time and freedom to experiment. 

It's not an easy task and requires a lot of practice, I remember being absolutely blown away at the thought of being able to construct something that is not done from life. 

Memory was a big part of the 19th century and artists trained their memory quite extensively. You shouldn't always have to have a photograph to be able to be creative. If you fail, try again.
