Pat, eight feet is more than adequate distance for seated portraits. Even lees can work for head and shoulders. The question is, how far back can you stand from your easel? The general rule of thumb is that you should be able to step back approximately three times the diagonal measurement of your canvas.
We live in a less than perfect world but I'm offering the above guidelines for your consideration.
Remember, any size studio is better than none at all. The desire tp create art will provide an artist with the insight to adapt their work to best accommodate the space they have to do it in.
