Painting Heads and Faces (First Steps) by Pat Clarke,
By Barbara J. Grimm (Greenville, SC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Painting Heads and Faces (First Steps) (Paperback)
I have been a collector of Pat Clarke's books for a number of years.This is an excellent face study book. The author has many enlarged drawings and close-ups of color placement. I like her line drawings, they are quite precise. This is a very good book for beginners or experienced painters who would like to try face paintings. She gives color set-ups for all the portraits and it is especially nice to have color set-ups for many ethnic skintones. I have personally have done quite well following her techniques. I am especially fond of her sweet paintings of children. This book makes an excellent additon to a painters reference library.

This review is from: Painting Heads and Faces (First Steps) (Paperback)
It's hard to find books that give good tips for acrylic painting. Everyone assumes you can only paint quick, blotchy sketches in acrylic. this book gives some good, solid tips on technique and color choice. It has examples from "crafty" type decorations, to pretty fair protraits. I have re-read it several times. As a profesional artist, it really helped me "up my game" in acrylics.
