Sharon are you saying that photo copyists, living in the west, Europe, must lower their prices and or join Art Royale? Or are you saying that the photo copyists are overpriced?

I seem to recall someone saying that the true artists of today when competing in portrait competition should compete by on the spot from life portraits. Is there someone knocking at the door?

It is my honest belief that if an artist knows his/her craft and can prove this, by painting from a life setting, that artist has nothing to fret about. A master artist has/is worth his/her weight in gold.

Whether an artist is charging extreme prices by copying a photo is the case in question here. One must be careful what one decides. I think the gravy train is soon to end and how will one prepare is another question.
