read while why impressionism started begin with. when photography first invented, in 1800s, portrait painters out of job, overnight - wealthy wanted new , modern, though in b&w. make living, artists had come new , different.

mother used paint portraits until color photography came about, , wanted new - natural color portraits. after while though, had color portraits , oil-painted portraits "new" thing have.

thomas gainsborough used complain called "face work" - portrait paintings. main complaint wanted better did. photoshop can wonders, painting more possible. problem gainsborough was damn @ it.
