Chuck,

What an interesting question. I rarely have the luxury of live sittings in my commissions, although I recently had the opportunity for a 3- hour sitting at about 80% completion of the face.

I thought this was an excellent time for me to have the input, a I had already traveled a long way in drawing, color and edges, so I had something on my canvas that could really be tweaked. I think that earlier sittings, at least for me, wouldn't have been as productive.
