Restrictive standards?
I am not sure how assisting budding artists into the profession of portrait painting applies to me. For fifty of my seventy-six years, continuously and without interruption, supported my family by producing print advertising. Currently retired, I have, in this past year, returned to my earlier plan to paint portraits.
By your choice this group is for professional portrait painters and serious students. Based on my experience and age I may not qualify, however if I were twenty-seven instead of seventy-six with my knowledge and skill, I would have no doubts or second thoughts about qualifying as a serious student
