5.0 out of 5 stars The best realistic watercolor portraiture resource, October 18, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Painting Watercolor Portraits That Glow (Paperback)

Jan Kunz has written a thoughtful, well-organized, presentation on how to paint watercolor portraits. Her realistic style of painting still manages to be expressive due to her emphasis on careful planning of how the image will be painted beforehand, allowing the artist's brush to put in correct values and hues with freedom and control at the same time. It's where I look whenever I get in trouble painting a portrait.

5.0 out of 5 stars terrific book to learn from, November 20, 2001

El Kabong (Bethesda, Maryland United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Painting Watercolor Portraits That Glow (Paperback)

One of the last things I wanted to learn in painting watercolor was painting portraits because quite honestly, I didn't care for it mainly because I didn't know how. But after reading this book, I no longer feel apprehensive about painting portraits. Jan Kunz's book is a terrific instructional guide on how to start, as well as what colors to use and where to use them. The book even includes some step-by-step samples based on real-life models Ms. Kunz has used that you can start off first as a guide.

For beginners, this is a very good book to use to get started.
