Artists Reference Photo Websites

A Picture is a poem without words
Picture Leaf Element

Every artist will use reference materials, either directly from nature or through a collection of photo materials.  ​

 
Apart from the various free photo sites listed in our 
FREE STOCK PHOTOS section, we  rendered  another interesting and useful list of Websites that sell professionally created painting references specifically for artists, from props to costumes to various poses. They are  inexpensive and in particular useful as many of them have perfect lighting that is favourable for artists.
