We have ,over the years, tightened up the jurying process. Often many of the people who joined us in the inception have not improved, heeded our advice or taken advantage of the vast amounts of information available to them.
It takes a lot of our personal time- we do this gratis, to help someone. As our time is limited, we only help those we feel can benefit.
As the Forum has grown we have seen a greater increase in the level of professionals on this Forum. As this is not a generic chat room, that is the group we cater to, as this is a site dedicated to the professional portrait and figure painter.
We do jury in younger people and beginners, but only those we feel have the ability and a future in the business.
Many people erroneously feel, that all you have to do is learn how to copy a photo correctly and, voila! a portrait artist is born. Nothing could be further from the truth.
