The perfect guide for any aspiring portrait artist, this book includes recipes for more than 500 skin tones using either acrylic or oil paints. Each page features a master-mix for a particular skin colour, plus recipes for all of its variations, such as highlights or shadows. The book covers a wide range of skin tones, from Caucasian to Latino and East Indian hues, and artists will also find recipes for a variety of hair, eye and lip colours. "Color Mixing Recipes for Portraits" includes a colour-mixing grid for measuring and is packaged in a concealed wire-o bound book that lies flat when opened, making this product convenient for any artist.
William F. Powell was an internationally recognized artist and one of America’s foremost colorists. A native of Huntington, West Virginia, Bill studied at the Art Student’s Career School in New York; Harrow Technical College in Harrow, England; and the Louvre Free School of Art in Paris, France. He was professionally involved in fine art, commercial art, and technical illustrations for more than 45 years. His experience as an art instructor included oil, watercolor, acrylic, colored pencil, and pastel—with subjects ranging from landscapes to portraits and wildlife. He also authored a number of art instruction books, including several popular Walter Foster titles. As a renowned master of color, Bill conducted numerous “Color Mixing and Theory” workshops throughout the US. His expertise in color theory also led him to author and illustrate several articles and an educational series of 11 articles entitled “Color in Perspective” for a national art magazine. Additionally, he performed as an art consultant for national space programs and for several artist’s paint manufacturers. Bill’s work included the creation of background sets for films, model making, animated cartoons, and films for computer mockup programs. He produced instructional painting, color mixing, and drawing art videos.
