Wonderful book for both beginning and seasoned artists; alike.By Cynthia StrooThis portrait book is a wonderful asset for both the beginning and seasoned artists; alike. It has clear instructions and photos that are instructive and inspiring.Pam provides information on supplies used and techniques to achieve portraits that will give the artist a sense of accomplishment .This is a book; yes; but it really feels more like a wonderful workshop; jam packed with ideas;information; and instruction.You can take her techniques and then apply your own style to her methods;like I have in the photo provided here. Because her book is a launching point for your creativity to take over with her skillful techniques as the basis .I highly recommend this book and have given one to a friend; who was as thrilled as I have been with the work that we are producing by following along with Pams book.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. I cant say enough good about this bookBy Kimberly E. Tanneri began wanting to learn about art 7 years ago; so in that time I have purchased many; many books and taken lots of on-line classes. With that said; I cant say enough good about this book. I feel I can toss the majority of my technique and how-to books; with this now in my library. It answers so many of the questions I have had for years. This book has the potential to take your art portraits from beginner style to a more advanced style. Still uniquely your own. Pam also puts in some fun techniques to try that look very inviting. This book is a " must have" if you are serious about wanting to improve your art style yet not so in-depth that you are reading a pre-med book. Each time I pick up this book I seem to run upon yet another goodie; I somehow missed. If you have ever taken any of Pams classes; youll get the same professionalism and great teaching in her book (s). This and Jane Davenports "Beautiful Faces" ( though a more stylized approach to portraits ) are the best of the decade!
