Natural Way To Paint By C Reid

This instructional book approaches the figure organically, showing readers how to observe its basic shapes and subtle nuances through practical exercises and lessons in the art of seeing with a painter’s eye.  
Application : Step-by-step demonstrations in contour drawing teach how to capture the overall essence of the human form, then lessons in gesture drawing emphasize the body’s linear rhythms in various poses.  
Description : Painting techniques progress from silhouette to three-dimensional forms through clever uses of light, shadow, color, and value.
