Secrets To Painting Realistic
Faces In Watercolour With
Carrie Stuart Parks & Rick
Parks

The key to a successful
portrait is getting the
face right. If the result
doesn't look like your
subject, then nothing
else follows and no
amount of tinkering will
ever bring it round. Part
of this is the
fundamental process of
getting the features
correctly balanced. In
this nicely structured
book, the Parks will
show you how to achieve
this as they work
progressively through how
to be comfortable with
your materials, how to
work from drawings and
photographs and how to
handle colours and skin
tones. Each of the
chapters includes a
demonstration of the
topic in hand and you'll
only ever be learning one
thing at a time -
invaluable in a subject
as complex as
portraiture. After
they've dealt with the
basics, the authors
include a look at common
mistakes before a final
chapter on 'Stepping Out
Of Your Comfort Zone' - a
look at more complex
subjects and techniques
that, as gently as the
rest of the book,
encourages you to think
about developing your
skills further. The DVD
which is included, where
you can see many of the
techniques demonstrated
in action, is a
bonus. North Light. 128
pages. Paperback. Colour
