I am a visual person and sometimes need to see the finished piece.
I do a halftone version of the image and photograph it, when I see it in Photoshop I know where the values and colors need tweaking.
When I was doing pottery comissions I had to make anf fire the piece before I could show it, by then ,if it's not right I do it over again, the "do overs" were sold at shows as part of the inventory.
I would never take a comission that wasn't in the glazes I was using at the time, so the "left piece" would fit into the display.
I simply wouldn't do a comission if I didn't think I could sell it if the customer didn't ike it.
There were a few of those I had to turn down.They either liked what I was designing or find someone else.
I designed lamps and jars with wood lids.
There were a lot of cannister sets and extra large table lamp comissions.
this is the 36" table lamp.
