I always have the IPad handy when I'm painting. I use it to take photos
of the work at various stages to see how I'm doing. I sometimes use a
stock photo or my own, which I keep open on the screen as a reference.
As
most of the work is viewed online, it's helpful to see how it looks on a
computer. I will make changes based on what the camera captured. As
the pictures are back-lit on a screen, they look different than in
person (often more vibrant). It's also convenient for uploading a pic to
my blog or sending in an email.
The
IPad is not always the best solution as you cannot get a high enough
resolution for printing. If you want to get prints made larger than a
postage stamp you need a camera.
Lighting
when taking photos is, of course, vital. When I'm painting in the
studio after dark and have lights on, the colors are very different than
when I take a picture in daylight. Here's a dramatic example.
