2: 00 i didn't exactly hear an answer to that question.
We can consider the many potential differences in results which different tools can achieve, but what reasons might an artist have to use the less efficient medium in the cases when the goal is for it to appear indistinguishable from the more efficient medium?
reasons I can think of are: it's an exercise for building skills;
or it's for the ARTIST'S personal satisfaction in the experience, if you feel compelled to indulge that OCD in a rewarding way;
Or because the value of the resulting image is impressing people with the surprise that someone actually painted that by hand! it seems to enhance the prestige of the work when people can view it in awe of the painstaking labor they struggle to imagine must have gone into it.
-WOW I could Never do that! HOW. - VS -oh that's a pretty photo. I should buy I nicer camera too. -

Hello! Very interesting material!
I hope I won't be discouraged by -girlish subjects-on paintings. As a male You're bombarded with only strong subjects with bright colours, so when You see woman's dress on picture it' a total blocker.
About gold leaving - can You point me out to some good examples? I want to understand how light reflection can interfere with interior design. Of course showing wealth of owner and warming up is a well known topic.
I tried poor man version with 3M reflective material and it is fun but light source must be close to eyes.

actually i think majority of people overhype photorealism and they think is the best thing since slice bread, plus there is cunfusion using the term realism and photorealism. Realism is not copying a photo, it is using knowledge of space, light, shadow, perspective to recreate the nature it could be from nature or from photography, the end result (hopefuly) has a distinctive style/caligraphy that reflects the personality of the artist, photorealism lacks personality and character, although i respect the skill involved in it i dont feel any emotional attraction to photorealism

I am an online student of Cornelia, Amazing would be an understatement to describe her. Talking with her is like talking to your psychotherapist, except your talking about art. She will analyze your work as if she can read your mind while your painting your image. she is also beautiful inside and out.

I agree with her 100%, a camera can't portray the human vision of interpretation. Not to say a camera isn't a tool that can portray creativity in a composition, it just does it in a different way. I am partial to the age old romantic image of the painting.

Excuse me, they just plucked me out of 1790 and I was wondering why you guys bothered painting portraits when you have cameras, I ask because its not like I was born in this time and would instinctively understand the merits of a portrait painting.

i dont think her artwork are like photographs, i disagree with that.
i would say that she is a figurative painter who paints realisticly but not like a photograph
