The video mentioned a few of the example where photographs were used for painting. Felix Vallotton used the photograph of his wife, Garielle Vallotton, to study for painting composition to completed the painting Gabrielle Vallotton doing her nails. Sometimes the photograph is better than the painting, for example, Felix Vallotton’s Gabrielle Vallotton at her Vanity. The photograph captured subject’s reflection in the mirror but it is not in the painting, which make it less complicated than the photograph.
Another artist, Edouard Vuillard, also have used photograph to help structured his painting. In his art work The Haystack, he used two different photograph of different years, and mixed up the figures then putted them together in one painting.
