Synopsis

Designed to make figurative painting approachable, this guide sets out clear advice on painting people in a range of poses and settings. It introduces the theory of colour and light in a way intended to support beginners while remaining useful for more experienced painters.

Soan also explores how to add figures into existing paintings to enliven a scene, with examples including urban streets and the beach. Alongside this, the book covers portraits, body proportion and perspective, and works across both watercolours and oils. Easy-to-follow exercises and step-by-step demonstrations keep the focus firmly on practical learning, making it suited to artists who want structured guidance.
