HowImportant are PLANNING and PREPARATION when it comes to PORTRAITURE?AsI stated in the previous article, in order to create a Representationofthe subject, which shows the Likeness,Personalityand the Moodofthe Subject requiresPLANNING.First,it must be determined: What ASPECT of the Personality will behighlighted and HOW.
