Description

In this fully revised and expanded book, Nicholas Beer examines the sight-size portrait method, through which the artist stands back at a distance to view the image and sitter side-by-side and to scale. Nick demonstrates the technique in a chain of projects that culminate in portrait painting. There also are sections at the history of sight-size, early treatises on portraiture, and the “philosophy” of seeing. This new edition also features a Starts and Studies section, which looks at a chain of unfinished paintings in detail to investigate the idea processes and strategies of serious artists.
