I sometimes use a reference photo to help start the idea of what I want to paint at the time. I use it for inspiration and then I change it up to be my own and I do not copy it. I love browsing online looking at photos of landscape, it helps spark an idea in my mind of what my next painting will be.
I do want to try to paint outside and paint what I see while I sit out there. That will be a whole new experience, I will have to try it soon and let you know how it goes.
