Beautiful Skin Tones With Color & Light in Oil, Pastel and Watercolor
by Chris Saper
Artists constantly tell us that they need guidance for rendering skin
tones in their portraiture. This book helps them overcome this elusive
challenge by providing a clear set of easy-to-follow principles for painting
a variety of skin tones in three major mediums--oil, pastel and watercolor.
The first chapter is rooted in the basics, showing artists how to recognize
and use the five major elements of painting: drawing, value, color, composition
and edges. From there, artists learn how to work with light, shadow and
color to effectively capture the beautiful skin tones of various ethnic
groups, including Caucasian, Asian, African-American and Hispanic. Next,
artists discover how to execute the principles learned, using detailed
instruction for color selection, mixing and application. Four mini-demos,
three long demos and many examples illustrate the lessons. Artists will
benefit from advice on shooting and choosing photographs to paint, how
to edit their compositions and work past their limitations.

What
Painting Is
by James Elkins
Book Description: What is painting really? Daubs of sticky oils
and crushed rock, blobs that form and reform, colors that look one way
on a palette, another way on canvas, a different way still in relation
to other bits of color beside them. Books on painting usually talk about
Art, or about painters. But in this compelling and original work, art historian
James Elkins turns to alchemy, for like the alchemist, the painter seeks
to transform and be transformed by the medium.
In What Painting Is, James Elkins communicates the experience of painting
beyond the traditional vocabulary of art history. Alchemy provides a magical
language to explore what it is a painter really does in her or his studio--the
smells, the mess, the struggle to control the uncontrollable, the special
knowledge only painters hold of how colors will mix, and how they will
look. Written from the perspective of a painter-turned-art historian, What
Painting Is is like nothing you have ever read about art.
