As a step-by-step guide to capturing a likeness, this is hard to beat. Roberta takes you in detail through the structure of the human body, from facial details to legs, arms & hands. Using simple block diagrams, she shows you how the parts fit together to create poses that look entirely natural. She then explains how to clothe your subject: how fabrics sit & how to create folds & gatherings. This is one of the trickier aspects of portrait painting & she's particularly good here. Progressing to real people, Roberta starts with charcoal drawings to get you used to working with light & tones. You only need move on to colour work when you're completely confident. She works in both oil & watercolour in this final section, capturing her subjects both formally & informally. The book is generously illustrated. All the instructions are admirably clear & easy to follow. Book: Northlight. Paperback. 160 pages Author: Roberta Carter Clark ISBN: 9781440303937 ...
