Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides valuable insights for both aspiring and established portrait painters offering practical guidance on the technicalities of the art form, from preparing the canvas to the subtleties of coloring and composition. The author draws on their wealth of experience to impart knowledge about the pigments, tints, and materials commonly used in portrait painting, such as vermilion, burnt sienna, asphaltum, and light ochre. Furthermore, the book addresses critical aspects like the management of draperies and backgrounds and includes chapters covering essential techniques such as dead coloring, glazing, and scumbling. It emphasizes the importance of capturing a likeness, expressing character, and creating the illusion of depth and texture, all while considering the color of grounds, the interplay of light and shadow, and color harmonies. The author also draws on the works of great masters like Titian, van Dyck, and Reynolds to provide historical context and demonstrate the evolution of portrait painting techniques. Ultimately, this book serves as a comprehensive resource for artists seeking to refine their skills and create captivating and lifelike portraits that transcend mere representation and capture the essence of their subjects.
