Painters back in the Renaissance used to mix their own paint "from scratch" ,,, the secrets of which were closely guarded. I suppose all the artists since paint was put in a tube and sold on the market were all fakes ... like Van Gogh (who sold only one painting), Turner, Picasso, Miro, Grandma Moses, and a host of thousands. Poser allows ordinary people to express ideas visually that were beyond thier physical talents to draw with a pencil. Like in cooking, the art is discovered in the eating, not the preparation. The rest is pretense.
