This handbook is published as supporting material to my portrait and business course, "For Love or Money: Portraiture and the Pursuit of Excellence" .

The course is designed to give portrait painters a set of painting skills, as well as business skills, including presentation of work, client relationships, pricing, marketing, photography of both subjects and art - and most importantly, a structure within which each artist can develop a customized business plan.

This handbook is not intended as a stand-alone resource, since some of the topics are presented in a shorthand form, meant to stimulate discussion in the workshop setting.

Includes a step-by-step demonstration, from start to finish, as well as a gallery of portraits.
