Building on the author's popular first book, Painting Beautiful Skin Tones with Color & Light, this title moves readers forward in the exploration of painting beautiful skin tones. Step-by-step it expands on the original demonstrations in the first book to include: Native American, Mediterranean, Asian, Caucasian brunette & Caucasian redhead, as well as updated African American & Latino subjects. Readers will enjoy two demonstrations for each of the seven diverse subjects
- one from life & one from photograph. Though oil painting is the basis of the book's demonstrations, Chris Saper's techniques are not medium specific & can apply to artists interested in all forms of portraiture.
