I'm not a bad photographer, but I suck as a painter, as of right now. The brush doesn't do what my brain tells it to, and I get frustrated by the leaden, clunky images that end up smeared over my canvas. So, I'm switching gears for a while and photoshopping my photos within an inch of their lives, printing on heavy matte paper via my Epson photo printer, then painting over them. I've only done a few, but it's a hell of a lot more fun. I still need to grasp color theory, or in actuality, need to progress past over analyzing my color choices, but experience is the best teacher.
I'll post a few scans once the paint finishes drying.
