Description

Miniatures are not simply small paintings: special techniques are used to achieve their unique glow and luminosity.

This book explains how to paint in detail in a small format with colour and precision.

It gives an introduction to the history and traditions of miniatures set by Holbein, Hilliard and Oliver.

Advice is given on materials, paints, bases and framing and there are step-by-step demonstrations of stippling and hatching, watercolour and oil painting, and colour mixing.

There is a focus also on portraits, still life and silhouettes.

Drawing on her extensive experience, Pauline Denyer-Baker shares her passion for painting miniatures, and inspires both beginners and more experienced artists to master and enjoy this historic art form.

With further advice on the importance of drawing and sketchbooks, and featuring work from leading artists with a range of styles and subjects, this is an inspirational guide aimed at all artists, particularly those interested in miniatures and portraits.Fully illustrated with 254 colour images.
