I take A LOT of progress shots. This not only helps me to assess values, since photos compress values, but it also allows me to document the methods I used for different paintings. Some people might find this useful so I decided to share publicly. For a visual list of small works and studies that I have available for sale, check out this google photos album which I will try to keep up to date and them reach out for more info!
