Difficulty factors
Most artists, especially here, would agree that a successful portrait is probably one of the toughest subjects that can be undertaken by realistic painters. It can be assumed then that most portrait painters can paint a good landscape or still life. Indeed, many can. It would seem a natural progression. This was the way for 6 centuries. It was assumed, and stated time and again by JSS. Is this the case? Is this group of portrait painters also a group of still life, figure, and landscape painters?
It's assumed one draws then paints. Paints the easy stuff then the hard stuff. It's a natural progression.
