Distinctive Facial Features

Mona: How is the Portrait coming along?

Leonardo: I’m done with the Sketches and I’m ready to start on the painting.

Mona: This Commission is quite a Godsend for a new artist. If you do a good job with this portrait, you may get other commissions.

Leonardo: It’s all the same to me. I paint them as I see them.

Mona: Well, I hope not exactly as you see them. A portrait has to be Flattering, doesn’t it?

Leonardo: You mean I should Downplay Bulging eyes, Hooked noses, and Double chins? No way. That’s what makes each face Distinctive.

Mona: Maybe that isn’t the best way to think about it. Everybody has an image of themselves in their Mind’s eye. You would just be capturing that image.

Leonardo: I’m an artist, not a psychologist. If they have Squinty eyes, ears that Stick out, a Weak chin, or thin lips, that’s what I’m going to paint.

Mona: But this sketch shows a really Prominent forehead and a Receding hairline. Maybe you could just…

Leonardo: No! I have tO be true to my art. I’m not compromising.

Mona: [sigh] I was just hoping you could finally make enough money to move off of my couch!
