He kind of over did it in the end I think, he used to make standard canvas stretchers, cut a piece of the stretched canvas out, pulp what he'd cut out, mix it with PVA glue and then paint it in an arbitrary shape back onto the remaining canvas. You could just about see where the canvas had been painted back on.
To answer the original thread, who gives a toss how you make an image. It's what the end product looks like and how it communicates the required message/idea that matters. If you need a realistic looking image, but you don't want a photograph look, why not trace an appropriate image. If you did a painstaking reproduction without tracing, would anyone know or care when they saw the result?
