Smart Advice!




It is for these reasons that I work out in my mind whether I want to tackle these problems before I ever show a photo to a client. It's not a good idea to allow a client to have so much control over the creative process. They don't understand all the issues. And, after they have "fallen in love" with an image it's difficult to make them understand the problems you will face. They usually just shrug and say "well, you're the artist, you can make it work." Easy for them to say, they don't sign at the bottom. ......

Mike: Showing clients photos that wouldn't work make this difficult job even more difficult! These are very wise and important words that bear repeating! Show your clients ONLY the photos that you KNOW will make an excellent painting!!!! It is often through experience that one learns this the hard way. (Gee, how do I know that??) That's why the experts like you make the education offered on this forum so greatly appreciated and valuable!
