Mary, my accountant has told me that I can deduct art magazine subscriptions, museum memberships, gallery memberships, art books, my website expenses, computer-related expenses since I make brochures and cards and work on my website and also communicate with other artists that way, cost of workshops, purchase of and repairs to camera equipment since I paint from photos, utilities such as propane gas, water treatment, and electricity for my studio - you get the picture.
I've never paid my models, though. Interesting idea. How did he suggest you do that?
