Which view did she choose?
If I have or take several photos of a house, I usually draw 2-3 different views. These drawings sometimes satisfy clients as suitable for framing in their own right. They're also valuable for soliciting information before I begin a larger painting.
For example, did this customer prefer a vertical or horizontal painting? Which of these three views of her house did she like best? Were there things she wanted emphasized or de-emphasized? (plants, trees, features of the house or property?)
Check back and I'll post the finished watercolor painting I did for this customer, so you can see what she picked. Were her choices the same ones you'd have made?
