Hi, Mari,
To answer your question, last summer, the client saw another painting of mine and wanted something similar of her two boys. (I've attached a photo of the original painting.)
At the photo shoot, she deliberated "upgrading" to an oil (the cost would have been more), but we both felt that that pose and feel was more appropriate for a watercolor. The casualness and lightness of watercolor was more suitable for the summertime/shorts/scruffy hair the mother was hoping to have in her boys' portrait.
I've pondered (using a different pose from the same photo shoot) doing an oil for myself.
Playing on the regal calm of their expressions would make a great "English" looking oil painting in my opinion.
Thanks for the question.
Linda
