Portraits from Life in 29 Steps presents an elegant, simple and direct procedure for painting a convincing portrait in 29 logical steps. John Howard Sanden has developed this method in more
than three decades of painting, demonstrating and teaching. At the heart of this book are two complete portrait-painting demonstrations; each of the 29 steps is descriptively titled, explained
and illustrated to show the clear progression of the portrait. Sanden uses an exciting and appealing premier coup approach to painting, where the artist attempts to execute a finished painting
from the very first stroke.
