Step-by-step demonstrations accompany the text, where different media are explained in detail, giving examples of what to use to create certain effects. Among those featured are acrylic, oil, watercolour and pastels. In addition, there is valuable advice on the use of photographs, on self-portraiture, and that acid test of the portrait painter, the commission process. With a wealth of illustrative material from a host of contributors, this is an inspiring and energetic approach to this very personal art form.
