Using high-quality reference is a gamechanger. The process of creating art can be seen as a series of problems to solve, and reference contains the answers to those problems. But with all those answers presented to us so readily, we can fall into the trap of sticking too closely to our reference material, simply copying or making decisions dictated by what we were able to find and not what our creative instincts tell us. This can lead to stiff or dull paintings, devoid of the artistic potential we have to breathe life into our work.
