 Just wondering . Would anyone know of a book of portraits ( Coffee table size ) the type you can prop up on a table to work from . Either famous / recognisable faces  or National portrait Gallery type of artwork . I am looking at trying my hand at portraits in oils...Thanks for  reading...Alan
Alan I notice a A5 or about that size book of portraits in a charity shop yesterday it was a  National Portrait Gallery book , predominantly oils I think . I do recall that there was over a hundred portraits in it and the photos were excellent, but as I don’t use oils or do portraits I left it to a better home . I’m sure if you google you might get one come up or look at the NPG shop , hope this helps
