In this book, Ken Pridgeon makes the challenge much easier and more attainable for the average artist with a desire to become portrait artist. You will learn how to paint a portrait that will astound your friends in one set of lessons. The system has been perfected in this manner because I can not afford to paint a good portrait for one grieving family and a poor one for the next. Every portrait must depict the fallen hero in a pleasing manner so as to Celebrate his or her life in the act of Living! Many will be smiling and even Living their lives to the fullest with a zest for Life... Everything I show you took me 75 years and many failures to accomplish. You do not wake up one morning a portrait artist. I failed my way to success as a portrait artist as I'm sure most artists do. All that I can promise is that there are hundreds of ways to paint a portrait; this is mine. I have studied Norman Rockwell and many hundreds of others in my 81 years, and I am offering you my best.
