I’ve not done it for this reason: if they are thumbing through the book they are seeing all or many of the pictures ahead of time, getting caught up in looking at them all right now. BUT if it works for you then do it!
Last year for our artists we looked at a different picture about every other day, sometimes every third day, because they were prolific AND we had a large book of their work. Two of the ones we did last year were John James Audubon and Bev Doolittle. The Bev Doolittle book in particular also functioned as our biography for her, so we read her story and came across paintings as we went, as she painted them.
This year we’re doing it differently again. That’s ok. Just do what works!
