The lively spirit of children makes them charming subjects for paintings. But that same irrepressible nature makes actually painting them a challenge.In this book, Jessica Zemsky shares the lessons she's learned in her many years of painting children - from how to find natural poses to how to achieve, in all the popular mediums, "that certain quality" of color and light that brings a portrait to life.But this is not a "portrait" book in the traditional sense of the word.
