Unlike most other how-to art books, the precise focus of this series's tuition benefits both the beginner and those with more experience. Each book takes the aspiring artist through a series of projects based on a specific medium or a favourite subject of their choice. This book focuses on oil painting, specifically portrait painting, taking readers through all the steps in creating a successful portrait, from brushes and supports, transferring an image, and getting a likeness, to a self portrait study, a group portrait and finally a gallery of modern examples.
