I personally can't imagine anything good coming from showing a half-finished painting to a client.

As Tim said, every painting will look like a disaster in the middle stages. Can this possibly instill a sense of well being in a client who is not familiar with the process? They may smile and give an understanding air, but privately think, "Is it too late to get out of this?"

If your goal is to be an instructor (a separate matter, it seems to me) then use a series of "in process" photos of a previous painting to describe the process. This could be interesting to the client without having the potential for an unexpected reaction.

If I am working towards a well-defined and understood goal then there should be no need to give someone occasion to tweak the process.
