It works perfect for me!
I always show work-in-progress in e-mail to my clients all the time. And although sometimes the painting shows an ugly stage, the clients love to see how the painting grows.
What I do is this: I show three pictures in one e-mail, each in a different stage. So the client can see and compare the progress. I describe what I'm doing at every stage of the painting.
At the end of the e-mail I write: To be continued. If you have any questions or suggestions about this, please feel free to ask. After doing this for a year now, no one ever complained or expected a finished painting right away.
Most people expect a finished painting at first, but if you clearly explain to them that it takes several stages, they will understand.
Good luck.
