Other things you should remember or think about are:

• Faces change from minute to minute. This could be because of the sitter's or artist's feelings, the surroundings or the light.
• The person in the portrait (sitter) may not have paid for the painting. These are called non-commissioned portraits. Non-commissioned portraits are sometimes experimental or unusual.
• You don't have to be young and pretty to be in a portrait.
