<p>[QUOTE=&quot;afantiques, post: 437063, member: 25&quot;]I am somewhat puzzled by people treating paintings as if they were photographs, representations of actual places and objects. </p><p>Some are, I know, but I cannot imagine any artist worth his salt not adding a tree or building or moving some part of the scene to a place more where it should be than actually is. As a painter you get to make stuff up. If bricks look better make it bricks. If the water is too wide or narrow, fix it. </p><p><br /></p><p>By &#039;painting by numbers&#039; I did not mean literal painting by numbers, but some sort of scheme of instructions to produce the effect such as simple illustrations of the various layers in the order to be painted.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
