Making a painting from a cc-by-sa 2.0 photograph

A visitor to the Geograph (www.geograph.org.uk) website
asked me 
"...whether the Creative Commons by-sa 2.0 Licence
allows the use of 
Geograph photographs as references for works of art i.e
paintings."

Is a painting of a photograph a derivative work, and if so,
how best to 
"share alike" and provide attribution?
