I disagree.

As a professional portrait painter, I have never had a client request that I paint a child to look messy or unattractively "real."

I would be surprised if any parent would wish to pay my fees in order to do that.

However, if you wish to paint reality in this manner and can make a living doing it, I am pleased for you.
