Painting and Drawing Children by John Norton.
Published by LLS , 4 years ago
The cover of this book is deceptive. The one I got had the portrait of an innocent child on the front. It said, "How to create children's portraits in pastel, watercolor, oil, charcoal, crayon, pen-and-ink, and pencil." I consider portraits as being the head and shoulders of a person... There are some well done portraits of children in the book. Unfortunately, to get to them you have to wade through pages of rough sketches of poorly clad or naked children. Who wants a painting with the focus on a little girl with with her knees widely spread apart????? I found it disturbing. I am throwing it away.
OUTSTANDING
