I have the original printing of this book but I decided I wanted the most up to date. I was not disappointed when I gazed through it. I met her a couple of times for portrait demos and was very impressed with her knowledge and talent. This book shows all of that and more. Probably one of the best books on Portraits.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Excellent primer on this subjectBy CustomerExcellent primer on this subject. It offers a wealth of information on proportions. clothing. lighting. and color related to painting portraits. Ms. Clark also includes invaluable exercises for drawing various parts of the head. And she gives step by step instructions on creating portraits in charcoal. watercolor and oil.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Not What I ExpectedBy William R. searsThis book has 151 pages of text. 83 of which are about drawing. not painting. I understand that to paint. you must be able to draw. to pose and light your subject. etc.. but the book title does not give a hint of how much space is devoted to actual use of charcoal. oil. and watercolor. However. I gave it a high rating bacause the 83 pages of preliminary instruction is outstanding. So. while I would have liked more space allocated to painting. I will still refer to the book when painting or drawing the figure or portaraits.
