Master Study vs. Photo Reference for Beginners?
I’m just starting out with the Zorn palette and I’m wondering—would it make more sense to use a master study like Anders Zorn’s Ols Maria instead of a photograph? Since Zorn already made the artistic decisions about light, color harmony, and simplification, I’m curious if working from his painting might help me learn faster, or if a photo reference would be better for developing my own observation skills. What do you think?
