Painting the Head in One Sitting III ("Pam") 
The presentation is specifically arranged to illustrate the 29-step method featured in Mr. Sanden's book Portraits From Life
in 29 Steps (North Light Books, 1999). Like the other two, this video takes the viewer step-by-step through the painting of
a head-and-shoulders portrait, this time specifically enumerating the 29 steps featured in the book.
The 29 steps are divided into six sections: (1) The Layout, or preliminary drawing, (2) The Shadows, (3) The Halftones, (4)
The Lights, (5) Restating, in which the artist refreshes and improves on previous judgements, and (6) Particularizing, in
which the precise details of the facial features are painted.
This division of the job at hand into six manageable portions, which in turn are completed through several precise steps (it
may sound complicated, but it's really quite simple) gives the painter a logical plan of accomplishment.

Painting the Head in Oil by Margaret Carter Baumgaertner
Note: "Peggy" Baumgaertner won Best of Show in the Portrait Society of America
2000 portrait competition.
Margaret Carter Baumgaertner's internationally successful DVD's have enriched the lives of portrait artists world wide. Her
DVDs take the artist from conception and drawing to the finished painting.
Each DVD series focuses on a particular area, such as Painting the Corporate Portrait, or Painting the Alma Prima Portrait.
The DVDs are a valuable supplement to Baumgaertner's workshops. The beauty of the DVD is that the artist can watch it over
and over again!
Learning how to interpret information from a photograph or a live model is critical to the success of a painting. Baumgaertner
teaches the portrait artist how to see and how to translate that information and apply it to the painting. Her DVDs are thorough.
Baumgaertner provides detailed information, describes painting techniques, and demonstrates them.

Portrait Sculpture Simplified by
Heidi Maiers – Edition: CD-ROM
From the author: Portrait Sculpture Simplified is a complete
instructional course encompassing all of the tips, techniques,
and tricks I've learned over the past 20 years through both
formal academic instruction and practical trial and error. You
will save countless hours of frustration and "learning
curve" because I have already been through the process
and will guide you toward the most simplified, effective techniques.
In numerous areas I have included valuable information that
has never been taught in school or found in print. Some of the
topics covered include:
• Materials – what you need to know to get started.
• Proportions – rules to look for in every head.
• Modeling – rules and step by step demonstrations
of each
feature.
• Drying and Firing – how to prepare for firing. No
hollowing
required, learn to dry out the piece quickly, easily,
and
safely.
• Patinas – several step by step demonstrations of
metallic,
wax, and fired glaze finishes.
• Mold Making – demonstration of making rubber flexible
molds and rigid molds.
• Casting – in bonded bronze and other materials.
• Base Making and Mounting – make a base, mount, and
photograph your finished piece.
The techniques I've developed over the years produce consistent
and reliable results in half the time it would take if using
traditional methods. Over 350 color illustrations are included.
