Summary "Provide[s] a complete guide to painting portraits in oils. In [Wareing's] view, the most effective way to capture character is by working from life rather than photographs, and to follow the alla prima method to create a painting in one sitting. Starting with a[n] . . . overview of the subject, Rob then guides you through the materials he uses, how to pose and light the sitter, and how to prepare your work area before you start painting. This is followed by detailed coverage of design and composition, the importance of proportions, and the painting process itself--from color mixing through to finishing a painting without over-working"--Provided by publisher.
