Every brushstroke would need to be accompanied by the question, “what would Cezanne do?” You might stop frequently to refer to his paintings to see how he handled certain visual situations. As your painting progressed you would gradually develop perhaps a dozen general stylistic guidelines for yourself. On a basic level, this is not unlike a how a computer algorithm works. Fidelity (or faithfulness) and transparency are two qualities that, for millennia, have been regarded as ideals to be striven for in translation, particularly literary translation. Here is a Shakespeare sonnet translated from German into English by a computer program: I am to compare one summer day you, which you lovelier and moderate are? drehn in the impact of the storm, and is all too short summer period. and:

Surreal Paintings by Jacek Yerka (10 total) "Jacek Yerka was born in Toruń, Poland, in 1952 - where he later studied fine art and graphic design. According to Yerka, he was pressured by his university instructors to eschew detail and realism in favor of the fashion of the times - but did not relent, adhering to the meticulous classic Flemish technique that still typifies his work. In time they came to see him as a brilliant - though troubled - talent. Yerka graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, specializing in printmaking. via wiki, best bookmarks Similarity based image search OK, so you’ve got this image, and you want to find something similar or related; and you want to find it with needle-like accuracy out there in the vast and windblown haystacks of the web. Search engines, of course, come to mind. Those tireless workhorses of web direction (and misdirection) are always happy to give out their directions (and maybe a few ads) to help in your righteous quest, oh Grail Seeker. But suppose you don’t have that magic word, the name of the painting or artist, What then? Enter similarity based image search, the ability to search for other images based on the characteristics of a known image. In investigating them, I started out with an image that was common, but not too common, Titian’s portrait painting known as Man with a Blue Sleeve (The National Gallery, London, also called A Man with a Quilted Sleeve, which may or may not be a self-portrait, I think it is). Pixolu (above, 4th down), which uses a Flash based interface, found a wider range of Titian images.
Stapleton Kearns Workshop : Tony Ryder, Part 1 When examining the tonal plan of my reference - whether it is a photograph or a live model - I frequently forget that what I am looking at is not an absolute whose values I must match exactly in my painting, but rather a guide for plotting value relationships. Too often, I have been a slave to my reference, when I should have intelligently manipulated the values I was observing in order to make a better picture. In his book, Creative Illustration, Andrew Loomis explains that there are specific relationships between the areas of shadow and light in a subject which are dependent upon the intensity of the illumination source. He expresses these relationships between light and shadow using the steps of the value scale, which, in his system, consists of eight equidistant tones ranging from White (1) to Black (8). Being able to accurately translate values from a live model to the canvas takes a certain amount of trial and error at first, but it becomes easier with practice.
