Cartacci, D. Figuren-Bemalung

In this volume, one of the most famous figure painters gives an intensive insight into the art of figure painting. In 128 full-colour pages, he uses expressive step-by-step pictures and explanatory texts to teach a wide variety of painting techniques as well as how to work with different materials and figure types. An important work on figure painting, which with its structured structure is a valuable and useful aid for every figure modeller.

It took Danilo Cartacci about two years to collect enough material to be able to write a volume on the very wide-ranging subject of figure painting. Even a first glance at the manuscript and the pictures made it clear that here would be a work that will be a long-awaited standard work for many figure painters - whether beginners, advanced or experts.
With numerous, high-quality colour photos, the author has succeeded in capturing the artistic painting process and presenting it to the reader in a comprehensible form. The accompanying text and detailed captions thus created step-by-step illustrations that reveal many of his "secrets" of figure painting. Even those who were previously unfamiliar with Danilo Cartacci and his works will readily admit, after reading this volume, that he is a master of his craft.
