Arrange the work around the opportunities you want people to recognize.
Independent painters

Show selected client projects with clear scope and outcome while respecting image rights and private references.
Let gouache look like gouache
Gouache can move from a flat, graphic shape to a delicate dry-brush passage within the same painting. Photograph the work evenly so matte color remains true, and avoid edits that shift pigments or erase paper texture. Short captions can identify the support, finished dimensions, palette decisions, and assignment context. A few purposeful process views—rather than a full studio diary—help clients understand both the result and the judgment that produced it.
Make a visual practice easier to evaluate
Clear bodies of work
Separate originals, commissioned images, and licensed illustration so each visitor can reach relevant samples.
