But I wonder if I can paint him better?
I don't have a wizzard or wizard hat. But I have this wool felt one. Some coffee and attempting to paint it in black (no white this time).
That kind of worked. I wonder what else I have around the house to try?
Painting from life, I learn a lot more than from a picture or screen shot. A bit of driftwood, some wool cloth, and now I'm about to attempt some cotswold wool locks.
I am amazed by what watercolour and looking at something really hard can achieve. I really like these little studies.

I think the challenge with photos and screenshots, is that they are two-dimensional representations of three-dimensional objects. I really came to understand that when I did the AYWMC course and got to the lesson on why it's okay to use editing software to tweak one's photographs. So your observation about the difference between studying real objects versus pictures makes sense.
