A friend of mine inspired me to paint an image I took of my son running to first base during baseball practice. The painting turned out better than I thought.
The method I used was tracing a printout of the photograph on a transparancy. The background was done first freehand, then the image was projected on the canvas. I traced the trees and the running paths then painted. After I finished, I projected the image of my son and traced it. The challenge I faced was that the projection was not clear, so I improvised and relied on my observation of the image to complete the painting.
