Congrats
Great going on your new career.
The more good artists that are out there doing high quality portraits, the more potential clients will be created through increased exposure to high quality work. This is one of the main reasons I teach.
When you create a painting, according to US copyright law, you own the rights to reproduce it unless you have specifically signed away those rights in writing. If someone buys your painting they do not have the right to reproduce it without your permission. Period!
Anyone wishing to reproduce your artwork has to do it on your terms. However, if someone wanted to buy your painting with the expectation of owning all or some of the reproduction rights, you would be justified in charging them accordingly.
Good luck!
