Painting Children - Benedict Rubbra

 

Painting children can be one of the most rewarding and enjoyable forms of artistic activity.  Benedict Rubbra starts by discussing problems related to painting in general and with a series of simple and exciting exercises shows how the difficulties of form, tone, and colour can be understood and overcome.  He applies these exercises to the painting of a child's portrait step-by-step, and deals with the importance of developing your observation, getting to know your sitter, and deciding how to pose him.  There are sections on using colour and tone, the choice of medium, painting children in groups, how to choose a background, and what extra things can be put into the picture.
