ISBN: 9780823030163.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLessons from Reilly go for some 54 pages and center on drawing the human figure and for those wanting to break down their work analytically it offers a systematic approach. It also includes some four typical Nine-Value\/ Chroma charts (which is value in itself-the single sheets alone sell for much more than the price of the book). These feature red, yellow-red, blue-green and purple-blue (four chroma steps from weakest to the “home level” of each of those hues. Those familiar with Munsell might enjoy these.\nAlso included is a gray value scale, as is the procedure for painting edges, the head, and facial features. An excellent resource.\nThis art book clearly has a methodical approach and it discusses terms in Hue, Value, and Chroma-even attributing value scales in some of the diagrams. Overall this is a pretty neat piece of work and originates from a well studied practice. by Chris\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Watson-Guptill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44964499324981,"sku":"ByrdShop_0823030164","price":45.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780823030163_51a0d6e2-7688-47a8-a1d7-cbf3e677f68c.jpg?v=1781304449","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/mastering-the-craft-of-painting-9780823030163","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
