You get to get a pretty good idea what will work, what colour compliment the subject, getting the composition right and knowing where best to place the subject. Sometimes an idea you have in your mind which you think will look great may turn out to not look so effective when on the paper or canvas. So to save time, materials and stress this process cuts that out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"726\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/petportraitsandwildlifeart.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Lindsey-1-726x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1846\" srcset=\"https:\/\/petportraitsandwildlifeart.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Lindsey-1-726x1024.jpg 726w, https:\/\/petportraitsandwildlifeart.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Lindsey-1-213x300.jpg 213w, https:\/\/petportraitsandwildlifeart.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Lindsey-1-768x1083.jpg 768w, https:\/\/petportraitsandwildlifeart.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Lindsey-1.jpg 1660w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 726px) 100vw, 726px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a mock up of a portrait I have on my easel now.
