5.0 out of 5 stars
Fabulous, informative, helpful and a joy to read, 11 May 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Colored Pencil Portraits (Hardcover)
A "must have" book for all colored pencil artists and for any artist interested in portraiture. Ann Kullberg has the talent to produce superlative work, but also the added ability to be able to explain how she does it and give hope to others that one day they might be that good! Worth the price just for the practical tips on what to do with pencils that you have sharpened almost to nothing, but more than this, a book I really enjoy just looking at.

This book is a must for all colored pencil artists!, 5 Mar 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Colored Pencil Portraits (Hardcover)
Ann Kullberg's new book, "Colored Pencil Portraits Step by Step", is a complete and exciting collection of lessons and examples on the difficult subject of portraiture. Kullberg, a full time commission portrait artist, shares her methods and opinions in a very readable, understandable, and unpretentious way. She covers composing a portrait, seeing the light, creating believable skin tones, painting features and the face, painting hair, painting fabric, and putting it all together. Each section includes demonstrations, thorough explanations, and many examples of her exquisite artwork. The extensive discussion on skin tones is especially enlightening. In the last section, she takes the reader through several detailed multi step demonstrations. Kullberg's enthusiasm and love for her life's work is evident on every page. For anyone interested in drawing people with colored pencils, this book is a must!

Brilliant artist!, 20 Dec 2006
For coloured pencil portraits of children, this book cannot be faulted. But I was a bit disappointed not to see more portraiture, as it was not made clear in the description that the pictures were of children. Having said that, the book is brilliant, and worth the money for the photos of the artist's work alone.
