Michele,

I add 20% for a detailed background, although I try to encourage my clients to go with the looser more impressionistic background. I guess the key would be how much of the canvas is background. I tend to have the portrait itself take up the majority of the canvas, but I suppose if the background took on a larger portion I could rethink the 20%.
