Hi Michele,

Thank you for your reply. I was typing at the same time you did so didn't see your reply til just now.

Your reminder that there are a lot of different way to handle the same situation is well taken. I think I will have a better idea of the best way to handle it (for me) after a few more commissions.

I sure didn't like pulling out that reference photo though. We went from talking about the mouth to the eye, even the length of the little boys sideburns came into question!

I am concerned about the client getting surprised by the finished portrait though. Michele, what do you show the client before you begin the work? Do you show them a sketch of the pose, for example?

I would love to hear how anybody else handles this process too.

thank you,

Joan
