Reid's "Portrait Painting" a must-have C. Eastwood Charles Reid's "Portrait Painting in Watercolor" is a must-have for anyone trying to learn a looser technique. I started out painting in oils and acrylics -- and I love doing people. But the techniques I use in the other mediums were not producing the results I wanted in watercolor. This is a clear, easy-to-rea. Charles Reid is the best Art Queen I bought this for a friend because I couldn't bear to part with my copy as a loaner - essential.. Gail Wilhelmsen said wonderful. Charles Reid carefully guides the student through all the stages of portrait painting. He gives information on the colors to use for light (fair) skinned persons, medium, and dark (hispanic Asian, etc.) people. This book has taken me to a whole new level of portrait painting.
