A few days ago, I posted a photo of Vinnie, the subject of my next pet portrait. The photo was sent to me by the person who is commissioning the portrait. Today I used Painter to digitally modify the photo for use as a photo reference. First, I changed the composition by adding "blank space" at the top and matching the background color with digital pastel. Then I cropped the image at the bottom so that the cat's paw fit nicely into the corner. I checked to make sure I had a ration that would work for an 8 x 10 format. Then I simplified the background with digital pastel, and in the process, created an additional diagonal line.
