    Excellent Portrait Workbook
  

*by K***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 25, 2013*

So why bother getting yet another book on portraiture?  Most portrait workbooks don't explain the importance of preliminary color and tonal studies as thoroughly as you'll find here.  Beautiful charcoal and pencil preliminary drawings showing value, composition and even the direction of the brushstrokes that help you understand how to solve problems before you even begin painting.  Other topics include an explanation of lighting choices, portrait design and composition, with excellent color plate demos that teach as you follow along.  The reader can watch as painting problems are addressed and solved before their eyes.  Tips are included that I've never seen addressed in other portrait painting books.  Excellent advice on how to use the computer to aid design.  A thorough chapter on skin tone paint color selection gives a novice painter the confidence to try different ethnic skin tones and hair.  As a pastel painter, I was particularly impressed with a color reference chart for pastels, naming different brands and hues for ethnicity/hair color, skin, lips, etc.  Luana Winner's clear guidance and enthusiasm will have you painting lovely portraits in no time.  Don't hesitate, Ms. Winner has generously shared very valuable information that you'll reference and return to again and again.  Do yourself a favor and grab a copy before it's out of print!

    Seems well written but Very Commercial Painting Style a turn-off
  

*by A***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 6, 2013*

As an aspiring portraitist, I was excited to pre order this book.  When it arrived, seeing lots of FULL COLOR details and instructions was a big plus point.  (One would think that every book about painting is full of colorful references, but not so...)  However, this book would have been a LOT better if the author had incorporated artists other than herself.  Obviously, a long list of successes, shows, representation in permanent collections and many clients demonstrates that her work is in demand and very admired. None the less, I found her painting style to be VERY commercial, formulated and uninspiring. Every one of her subjects looks like they are from the SAME family!  Every single portrait had the SAME nose with the highlight painted in the SAME spot in the SAME way (except the ethnic ones--and even those had a similarity of highlight with exactly the same application).  "Successful artist" doesn't automatically mean dynamic and inspiring artist.  Perhaps the author is a good teacher.  I have no interest in finding out because after glancing through this book only ONE time, her painting style turned me off to the point of asking for a refund.  The return ship deadline passed, so this book will be a gift to a friend or the library.  Alas, someone will get to enjoy it.

    A Book for everyone interested in portrait painting
  

*by F***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 26, 2013*

I am a practicing landscape artist, and I found Luana Winner's book an excellent introduction to the various demands of painting portraits.  There is a lot of information in this book for both beginners and for more advanced painters.  Some techniques in making art are the same no matter what the subject, but others are somewhat specialized in portraiture.  She covers everything from composition to finish, but, for example, her sections on the construction of elements that make up a face, e.g., the nose, the eyes, etc. are of real value to the artist attempting portraiture  The section on hair and skin tones is especially informative.  Ms. Winner's short section on digital techniques is one of the best explanations of how to use photography in support of the painting process that I have read.  In summary, I think that Ms. Winner has provided a very useful book to anyone interested in rendering that most interesting of subjects, the human face.
