New members must now be approved for posting
 

In the interest of keeping the quality of the Portrait Artist Forum higher, as of a couple of days ago, all new members registering are required to submit a sample or two of their work and information regarding their past, present and future involvement in the portrait world. Based on this, the member will either be approved for posting or not.

New registrants that have passed approval will have the notation "Approved Member." All who are "SOG Member" are automatically approved. This means they are members of the main site with a featured portfolio.
