Book Description/Synopsis:

Chris Saper takes the mystery and guesswork out of portrait painting while leaving its joy fully intact. Continuing the exploration started in her first book, Painting Beautiful Skin Tones with Color & Light, this sequel offers step-by-step demonstrations that cover an even wider range of ethnic groups and ages. You’ll get professional advice on working from life, using reference photographs and combining the two approaches to create realistic likenesses. Though the demonstrations and examples are done in oils, the techniques are universal and can be applied to any medium including pastels and acrylics. Regardless of your medium or skill level, these lessons will make painting skin colours easier, the process more enjoyable and your great results more predictable.
