Photography Versus Direct Observation: An Investigation in Painting

To clarify this investigation, certain questions were formulated to guide the research. These were: 1. is the working procedure markedly different when using a photograph as a source for a work than the procedure used when working from direct observation? 2. If different, does this working procedure affect the final outcome or product? and 3. Whether the working procedure is similar or dissimilar, is the end result, i.e., the work of art, affected by the method used? That is, will the style of the works done from photographs be different from the style of those done from direct observation?
