What is the basis of painting in photography art examination? Is it a sketch head or a still life?

They are usually portraits. Sketch. Color, sketch. Whatever you take. Take the exam anyway. Remember. Draw more sketches. With a certain amount of painting, exams are a habit of practicing at ordinary times. I slowly realized that experience. If you must know. You can ask your teacher. Because it usually matters. Even if you don't know it. Then if you draw well and are afraid of taking the exam, it will generally not be too difficult.
