Sometimes artists have to work with less than ideal references. This can be frustrating, but it doesn’t mean we have to end up with a terrible piece of artwork. Watch as landscape painter and plein air artist Tad Retz demonstrates how he takes a reference that has issues, distills what’s important to the scene, and paints a piece that improves upon the reference. His methods will help you see how you can find creative solutions to common problems and that will allow you to work with more freedom when using any reference at your disposal.
