Karin,

I think you have the most pertinent and timely advice I've heard in a long time. I, personally, look for your entries in this forum and print them for my studio reading time. Thanks for all that!

I also agree that this is portrait painting is a craft as well as an art. It has to be practiced and honed constantly. Even with every shadow and value in perfect harmony in your painting, if you don't get the likeness no one will buy your work.
