Pulling from 50,000 works of portraiture created by the artists of the international online collaborative project Julia Kay's Portrait Party, <i>Portrait Revolution </i>presents a new look at this topic--one that doesn't limit itself to one medium, one style, one technique, or one artist. By presenting portraits in pencil, pen, charcoal, oils, watercolors, acrylics, pastels, mixed media, digital media, collage, and more, Julia Kay and co. demonstrate the limitless possibilities available to aspiring artists or even to professional artists who are looking to expand creatively. <p/>Along with works in almost every conceivable medium, <i>Portrait Revolution</i> shines a spotlight on different portrait-making techniques and styles (featuring everything from realism to abstraction). With tips, insights, and recommendations from accomplished portrait artists from around the globe, this all-in-one inspiration resource provides everything you'll need to kick-start your own portrait-making adventure.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Artist Kay's book vibrantly showcases the work practices of an ever-expanding international community of artists. She launched a portrait party, via social media, where artists take turns sitting for each other's portraits. Readers will not find any step-by-step exercises here. Instead, the book is comprised almost entirely of hundreds of examples from the portrait party group's vigorous creativity over five years. Examples are accompanied by artists' comments about their choices and are grouped in chapters by media, style, or theme, with additional sections on featured artists and general insights about portraiture. <b>VERDICT</b> Unconventional in its approach and organization, this volume will capture the imagination of readers of all skill levels.<br>--<b><i>Library Journal</i></b>, Starred Review<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>JULIA L.
