Publisher's Note
Paul Leveille is known for his ability to capture the very essence of his subjects. Eight complete step-by-step demonstrations feature a variety of ages, complexions and expressions, illustrating: -- how to build form and realistic features through dark and light shapes -- the types of marks and textures produced by various paper surfaces -- palettes for creating a wide array of skin tones and hair colorings.

Industry Reviews
Perhaps the most successful portrait artist in New England, Leveille receives international commissions and is a much-sought-after teacher. In eight lessons, he takes the pastel enthusiast from sketches through final touches, with expert attention to each of the face's many problematic features. His models include a variety of ages, complexions, hair colors, and expressions, but the book doesn't attempt to cover all variations. James Horton's How To Paint Skin Tones (LJ 3/15/96) is an almost indispensable companion to this and other portraiture books. Leveille has produced the best pastel portrait book to date, one that manages to work for both the beginning and advanced artist. Highly recommended for all collections.
