So true!
I end up doing a lot of profiles or almost profiles, for the following reasons:
Usually, there are 4 or 5 people already set up at a distance from the model and I don't want to rudely plunk my stuff down in front of them, so I go to one side or the other where I can get as close as I wish. Usually my easel is touching the model stand and I have room to back up and observe my canvas and the model at the same time. I find the rim lighting on the dark side kind of fun.
On the rare occasion where I arrive early, I worry about people complaining about my position, asking me to move or setting up immediately behind me so I can't step back. I hate jostling over positions and don't like it when someone crowds me when there are lots of other positions available, so my solution is to pick the spot no one else wants.
Is there an etiquette rule about open studios in this regard? Is it okay to pick any spot if you are there first?
