Art Reference Photos - Hiring Portrait Models for Paintings, and Other Royalty Free Images Sources

My experience as an amateur painter hiring portrait models, plus an intro discussion on some other ways to get royalty free photos to use as references. I recently hired three people to model for some portraits - my first time to do this. It was a really good experience and I got some great reference photos from it. A huge thank you to all three of the models, they were excellent! The paintings featured in this video are just the first two - there will be many more to come I’m sure. Some other royalty free image resources I mentioned in the video: Unsplash: Pexels: Pixabay: Library of Congress: 💻For more artwork by Jon Amdall, check out Amdall Gallery at Timestamps: 00:40 Commercial Use 01:55 Royalty Free Images 02:53 Take Your Own Photos 04:12 My Experience Materials Used: 🖼️ Paper
