It's my feeling that either a person already understands that a painting is not the same thing as a photograph (and that you're not competing with photographers) or they never will. I think that no amount of explaining from the artist will turn a prospect who is considering a photo into a prospect who will pay the difference for a commissioned portrait. Either they intuitively understand the difference, perhaps from a lifetime of exposure to art, or they don't.
