Ever since I watched the movie "Tim's Vermeer" I've been looking for people trying/using this mirror technique, and now a few are showing up. I'm not sure Vermeer really used this technique himself, and I'm not really interested in debating that aspect, but the possibilities it presents as an art technique are very exciting to me. I'm sure they'll be haters who say you just need to learn to paint, and you're cheating, but learning to paint takes things like time, talent, inspiration, education, and a bunch of other words like those. haha. Some of us just like to jump in get results, and have fun making some art.

This was eye-opening. I also wonder if the classic masters weren't documenting history through their art, would they still have created for passion alone? Or is this just a modern pastime? Art for art's sake.
