Carol, as Mari said this is a very important issue.
As a portrait painter for me the difficulty lies in the fact that you don't really start from scratch, but work with some given items.
There is a place on your canvas, for example, where the head should be, and mostly, working on commission, where your client expects the head should be...
The many rules of composition to me are often contradictory and I would love to find someone to put them in a "top ten" order!
