50 Percent Rule Clarification
10:30 AM, Tuesday April 30th 2024
In the information in the lesson regarding the 50 Percent Rule, we are encouraged to draw from imagination rather than reference. And that if we are to use references, we should always use more than one when fulfilling the 50 Percent Rule.
However, I've heard from so many artists online that you should try to "draw from life" when possible. If I were to try to draw and paint a scene from daily life (I'm currently on vacation and am trying to draw/paint some scenes from my travels) that would technically only be using one reference would it not? Would this be an exception to the one reference recommendation, or would you say that this sort of drawing/painting not be included as part of the 50 Percent Rule?
Thank you!
