About this supply
On Sight-Size Portraiture by Nicholas Beer is a comprehensive exploration of the sight-size method, a traditional technique in which the artist views the sitter and canvas side by side and to scale. This revised and expanded edition offers a clear and practical guide to mastering this time-honoured approach through a series of projects that progress towards portrait painting. It also delves into the history of sight-size, early treatises on portraiture, and the philosophical principles behind the art of seeing, making it an essential resource for both students and experienced artists.
In addition to practical demonstrations, this edition introduces a new ‘Starts and Studies’ section that analyses unfinished paintings to reveal the creative processes and technical decisions of great artists. Beautifully illustrated and deeply informative, the book blends art history, theory, and hands-on instruction to help artists refine their perception and technique in portraiture.
