Make it in TelegramMarks, not mess
Paint on a smock proves a working studio, while paint on the face looks staged. Ask for a few small marks and a tidy room. Keep canvases out of focus so no famous work appears by accident. If the picture feels precious, rerun with 'cluttered table, jars of brushes, afternoon light'. Mention your real hair and glasses for recognition at the opening night.
Statements and sales
Place the portrait beside your statement and a short list of shows. Collectors read both together. Your real artworks belong next to it as separate photographs, since a generated background is not your work. Check each gallery for its image rules. A black and white version prints well in a catalogue and a color one suits a poster. Update the picture every few years so it matches the person visitors meet.
Tips
- Describe your real medium.
- Blur the canvases.
- Ask for a few small paint marks.
- Order a vertical crop for catalogues.
