Hi, Geraldine,

I moved this post to this thread, thinking that you might find additional useful information here. I considered the "workshops" thread, but since you're in the UK, that might not be useful (though SOG artist Peggy Baumgaertner happens to be in the U.K. right now, giving a portrait workshop -- maybe she'll return next year and you can sign up!)

Anyway, be sure to check out the reviews of books and videos listed in this thread, and look at the Subject-specific Demo area accessible from the home Forum page.

As a web browse, you might enjoy working through Tony Ryder's portrait demo, (click on the red text to be taken there), just one of many such internet presentations. As I recall others, I'll try to supplement this post.

Your own countryman, Alwyn Crawshaw, has produced many painting and drawing videos and books that have greatly inspired me. (I guess I don't know if he ever did portraiture.)

Cheers
