Book excerpt: Transplanted California girl, Melanie Sullivan, vows to stay in Oregon until she nails the killer of her best friend, Dani. Mel’s ability to search a soul for innocence or guilt is a big plus. Her love for Billy the Kid, former Marine and now a detective with the 3 Peaks police department is also a factor in her decision. She’s not quite sure what’s going on with Billy. Has the PTSD from his Middle East deployments returned? When a hate crime is committed in 3 Peaks, Mel is recruited by sexy Homeland Security agent, Mick, who requires her soul-reading ability. Mick doesn’t hide his feelings. He’s more than eager to step in if Billy steps out, a complication Mel doesn’t need or want. As she goes undercover, Mel embarks on a dangerous journey, aided by her Uncle Paco and devoted friends. Along the way, she learns a valuable lesson about the power of forgiveness.

Book Synopsis Oil Painting the Mona Lisa in Sfumato: A Portrait Painting Challenge in 48 Steps by : Rachel Shirley

Download or read book Oil Painting the Mona Lisa in Sfumato: A Portrait Painting Challenge in 48 Steps written by Rachel Shirley. This book was released on 2013-09-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An oil painting demonstration on portrait painting with sfumato like the old masters. This in depth painting demonstration explores a tailored approach in achieving sfumato effects when painting Leonardo da Vinci’s the Mona Lisa in oils. Taken from my other book, Skin Tones in Oil: 10 Step by Step Guides from Old Masters, this painting project has proved to be sufficiently lengthy to warrant a book in its own right. The chief section of this book comprises step by step images with accompanying text that gives full instructions on how the Mona Lisa was completed via 5 stages. Find also extra features, such as managing tonal balances, attaining soft shadowy effects, working in glazes, dry brushing, troubleshooting and making the most of simple art materials. Learn how such a momentous project can be broken down into manageable pieces. Painting the Mona Lisa with sfumato could prove an invaluable experience for any portraitist. Note: this book does not explain the painting processes of the Renaissance period such as grinding pigments or the old masters’ method of underpainting. Such practices may exclude artists who do not have the room or the resources to prepare in such a way. This book’s aim is to make painting the Mona Lisa more inclusive. This means getting on with the painting with minimal fuss. Contemporary art materials and modified art techniques have therefore been used. However, this book offers a way of achieving great sfumato effects in the style of Leonardo. Preparatory sections, a troubleshooting guide and glossary are included. Book’s dimensions: 10x8in and 48 pages.

Book Synopsis Mona Lisas and Little White Lies by : John Herrick

Download or read book Mona Lisas and Little White Lies written by John Herrick. This book was released on 2019-03-19. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: She’s America’s hottest new celebrity. But her identity remains a secret. Lily Machara is a wisecracking auto mechanic. She’s never cared for glitz or drama. But when Ryder Flynn, a rising star in the world of commercial art, adopts Lily as his muse after a random sighting, Lily discovers herself painted into his hot new pieces ... and becomes America’s newest — anonymous — celebrity. The only problem: The woman Ryder imagines isn’t the true Lily. Or is it? Now, as Lily and Ryder give in to mutual curiosity and a budding romance, Lily’s life — secrets and all — fall victim to a pop culture with one question on its mind: Who is the woman in Ryder Flynn’s art? In the spirit of Cyrano de Bergerac and Pretty Woman, MONA LISAS AND LITTLE WHITE LIES is a delightful new romantic comedy from John Herrick, author of Beautiful Mess, From the Dead, and 8 Reasons Your Life Matters. A character-driven page turner and the feel-good story of the year, in the tradition of Nicholas Sparks and Emily Giffin. ACCLAIM FOR JOHN HERRICK: "Eloquence with an edge. In a single chapter, John Herrick can break your heart, rouse your soul, and hold you in suspense. Be prepared to stay up late." Doug Wead, New York Times bestselling author and advisor to two presidents "John Herrick's characters become your best friends. His world is keen, compelling and excessively alive." -- Jeffrey James Keyes, New York Times bestselling author and James Patterson co-writer "Herrick will make waves." -- Publishers Weekly "Herrick...evokes compassion and empathy." -- Foreword Reviews
