Over 3000 artist reference photos on our Patreon site.
We started a Patreon site for artists. We have over 3000 photos uploaded to our site, most of them are Montana wildlife, some are scenery and other things. Some dog portraits, some interesting things but mostly wildlife.
If you are looking for photos, there are so many there, that are like having exclusive photos without having to purchase an exclusive license. The photos are exclusively for artists to use as reference and that is what the license there states.
We are not finished uploading photos, I've only gone through a couple of years worth of photos. I haven't begun on our older hard drives yet.
So if you are looking for reference photos for your art, come join our Patreon site. You'll hardly ever run out of something to paint.
Artist reference photos for you to use.
And if you like to paint elk, there are hundreds of elk photos there. Elk, deer, mountain sheep, bears, and more!

Montana Outdoors Photo Issue
This burrowing owl was also published in a Montana Outdoors Photo Issue. The photo issue comes out each year in December and there are 10,000 images vying for publication so I am always honored when one of my images is chosen. Subscribe to Montana Outdoors and you will see that issue when it comes out each year. It's only something like $12 a year and it's a great magazine.
