Amateur vs. Professional

How does the professional painter differ from the amateur?

Amateur vs. Professional

I would say simply that a professional is someone who is making money at it.

The Washington Portrait Society (no longer in existence) had three categories - Amateur, Semi Pro and Professional. This was based on the percentage of income derived directly from your art. They are the only ones I know of to have such a distinction.
