I have always believed that all of my works deserve the absolute best materials I can give them. Thus, I use linen on all my portraits these days and chalk up the cost of materials as part of the cost of doing business.

I certainly understand if you don't want to use it on studies or other works, but I think that any work that someone is going to pay us money for should get our best work and the best materials we know of - in either a panel or stretched linen.
