I learned to paint figures/portraits
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I have several Charles Reid books, as I really like his style of painting. This is the first book of his I purchased and I was able to teach myself to paint figures and portraits with this book, although my style is not the same. Mr. Reid teaches you step by step with very clear illustrations how to paint and the colors to use to mix flesh tones. The lessons start out in black and white and then move to lessons in color. There are some very nice examples of his work also. There are 80 pages - not as long as some of his other books.
