Portrait size for 3/4 figure
I am trying to decide what size I should make this portrait. I would like to paint a larger size than 20" x 24", though I am not sure just a 3/4 figure can support a larger size portrait.
My goal is to make this portrait a standard size so I can present the portrait in a standard ready made frame. Here's the problem, seems there isn't much in between a 20"x24" and a 24"x30". I found a couple of 22"x28" frames on the internet so I sketched my subject out on paper that size. (see below) But that's not really a standard size, I'm wondering if this pose/subject is enough to fill a 24"x30" canvas? As it is, her head is 9" tall on the sketch below. I wonder if there is too much air space around her? Or should I paint this on a 20"x24" and save the grander size for another day? I spent the entire day trying to figure this out yesterday! I have never had this problem before, but I guess it's because I'm trying to push up the size for the first time.
I'll post my sketch on the 22" x 28" paper. (Original can be seen under a thread in photo reference section.)
Thank you, Joan
