If
you prefer instant access to information, or if you are only
interested in specific topics, the following chapters of my
instruction book "Portrait
Sculpture Simplified", will be available as
individual lessons #1-6. Additional lessons that are not included in
the book are coming soon. All lessons include color photographs that
can be zoomed into for increased magnification - almost like
"being there".
These
lessons are only viewable on line. Although the documents cannot be
saved, the pages can be printed and you may bookmark the online
location to the lesson once you are granted access, so that you may
return any time.
IMPORTANT: In order to
view these lessons, you will need to have the Brava! Reader installed on your machine. You can download
this free document viewing software at any time if you don't
already have it installed. Clicking
on this link will install the free Brava! Reader at any
time. The
book's four introduction pages will display in the reader (you may
need to refresh and click this link again) and you
will know that you have successfully installed the software
and will be able to view the lessons. Lesson pages and images
can be printed, zoomed, magnified, paned, rotated, searched, calibrated and
measured, and viewed in monochrome.

Setting your screen resolution to 1024 x 768 will give you the
