Product Description
Jean Pedersen teaches how to capture the beauty of the human face and figure. By combining watercolour with other water-friendly mediums, Jean produces rich darks contrasted by extreme lights to create texture-filled paintings that convey the mood and emotion of the subject. Every aspect of painting mixed media portraits will be addressed, including compositional considerations, rendering the figure accurately and successfully combining different mediums.The book contains a special chapter on skin tones and how to create the right one for different ethnicities as well as a section on composition and design so the reader can direct the viewer's eye. 28 fully illustrated mini- and full demonstrations show readers how to paint a variety of people, sexes, races and ages.

Format:Hardcover
In my practice of teaching painting techniques to mature students there is a number of manuals which I constantly rely upon and, over the years, proved to be very helpful. This publication appears to be a really good addition to my list. In short, the feedback from the students is: compact, informative, self-explanatory, wide range of aspects covered, challenging but not overwhelming, and most importantly, truly inspiring. Although the book is for the water-based painting mediums, the advanced students (and self-educating art enthusiasts) may find the methods, explained and demonstrated here, quite useful for working in oil-based portraiture, as well.

This is a great portrait painting book - the artist provides a lot of insight into how she goes about her painting, there are various watermedia techniques explained, and there are several useful demonstrations.
I've found this book to be a real inspiration - recommended.
