Colored Pencil Painting Portraits by A Nickelsen

Colored Pencil Painting Portraits provides straightforward solutions to the problems that artists face in creating lifelike images and will prime readers on the intricacies of colour, texture, shadow and light as they interplay with the human form. This comprehensive guide packed with step-by-step demonstrations considers working from photo references versus live models; provides guidance on posing and lighting, as well as planning and composing a work; discusses tools, materials and revolutionary layering techniques; and offers lessons on capturing gesture and expression and on rendering facial and body features of people of all age groups and skin tones.

"Get ready for a revolutionary way to use colored pencils!"
—Sally Robertson, editor in chief of Colored Pencil Magazine

"This is a must have book for all colored pencil artists--not just those interested in portraiture but those looking to really understand and master the art of colored pencils"
—Ivor Harrison, The Art Gear Guide

"Colored Pencil Painting Portraits is a wealth of information and instruction, and it is a joy to watch how Alyona brings her rich, beautiful portraits to life."
—Australia Colored Pencil Association
