My Favorite Art Books And Why

These are the art books that have taught me how to paint portraits and figures. Some of them are not your typical art books. I will tell you how and why they inspire me. They have shaped my career and helped me to create my OWN path to becoming a professional portrait painter.

These books teach the basics to portraiture but also they promote individuality.

Have you ever been working on a painting and something just seems off but you can't put your finger on it? Well I have a 6 question guide that will help you figure it out!
