It will get you out of your comfort zone and into the habit of making faces that are truly and uniquely your own.|Faces are everywhere in the mixed-media realm today. So many artists trying their hand at portraiture and have come to a point where they want to develop a unique style with an eye towards a fine art look, instead of creating work that has the distinctive look of another artist. Author Pam Carriker has developed an easy way to map faces, allowing the maps to be customized to create a structure from which to build a unique face. Projects begin with generic looking faces so the reader can see a good starting place before pushing on to a more signature look of her own. With sections on Purpose, Proportion, Personality, Palette and a final section filled with Projects, Pursuing Portraits will guide the reader through a natural progression from mapping faces, to sketching and shading, mixing portrait palettes, to a variety of mixed-media projects all based on sketches completed in the proceeding sections. Inspiring works from contributing artists will be spread throughout the book, showing great diversity in possible portrait styles.
