P.S.

Regarding the intermediate photographs of the work in progress: if instead of photography you're working from life (portraiture or still-life), one of the most useful -- essential, I think -- "second opinions" will be found in a mirror in which you can view both the subject matter and the painting at the same time. It's amazing what differences and nuances can be revealed by this method. I use a small hand-held mirror but many studio artists have mobile, full-length mirrors just for this purpose.
