When I worked designing ads for print, and before doing them on computers, we used to keep all kinds of magazine clippings we called "scrap" in folders. So, let's say I was drawing a layout to sell shoes, I could go look at lots of types of shoes and lighting angles etc. for my sketch to show the photo studio how I wanted the shot to look.
My favorite idea in this article for finding reference material is the outing. I feel a sudden need to paint Hawaiian beaches coming on! lol! Ok, maybe more local. Wouldn't some of the outing be tax deductible if I sell the painting? Maybe? Thoughts any one?
Wow, so much valuable info!
