{"product_id":"9781785002045","title":"On Sight-Size Portraiture: 4th Edition - Revised and Expanded","description":"In this fully revised and expanded book, Nicholas Beer examines the sight-size portrait method, in which the artist stands back at a distance to view the picture and sitter side-by-side and to scale.  Nick demonstrates the technique in a series of projects that culminate in portrait painting.  There are also sections on the history of sight-size, early treatises on portraiture, and the 'philosophy' of seeing. This new edition also includes a 'starts and studies' section, which looks at a series of unfinished paintings in detail to analyse the thought processes and techniques of great artists. Includes; an historical overview of the technique and introduction to the traditional language of drawing and painting; the limited palette and the philosophy of seeing; a step-by-step sequence with practical instruction, and examples of great masters ranging from Van Dyck to Sargent. Superbly illustrated with 152 colour illustrations including step-by-step sequence.","brand":"Crowood Press, The","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47131583578352,"sku":"9781785002045","price":24.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781785002045_p0.jpg?v=1763728220","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781785002045","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
