Secondly, whilst a painter does not always mix his own paints, he does in fact turn liquid in a palette, into a vision. He doesn't simply take pre-existing painted figures, add a few colours and props, and call it a day. I was talking to a fellow Poser-maniac the other night about this topic, and we sorta agreed that a lot of Poser work, as well done as it is, is closer to paint-by-number than traditional oil painting. You can get some really pretty results with PBN, but you really have to work at it. Most people, tho, fill in the areas and leave it at that.
