Complete instructions and color palettes for painting luminous skin tones and hair 11 complete step-by-step demonstrations covering a broad range of complexions, ages, poses and sweet expressions Quick tips and expert tricks for making your subjects look natural–not stiff or posed Victoria Lisi's instruction is friendly and easy to follow, delivered with the belief that the process of portrait painting should be as enjoyable as the finished product–beautiful, touching portraits of kids having fun, playing in the sun and being themselves.
