Product Description
From Library Journal
Kullberg is a born artist, self-taught and highly accomplished. In her first book, she proves to be a born teacher as well. She thoroughly and engagingly explores the details of the tools and techniques necessary for every element of creating portraits. Colored pencil is a medium that requires little money, no setup, no cleanup, and no health concernsAjust as much hard work and talent as any other medium. With her fresh enthusiasm, Kullberg makes the work a pleasure. Collections that have Lee Hammond's similar Drawing Portraits in Colored Pencil from Photographs (North Light, 1997) may want to add this as well. In choosing between the two, Kullberg's personal approach edges out Hammond.

Book Description
Portraits not only capture a likeness, but offer for generations to come a glimpse into the subject's life. Sounds like quite a challenge. But with Ann Kullberg's help, it's not as difficult as you might think to create lifelike colored pencil portraits.
Using her own beautiful portraiture for instruction and inspiration, Kullberg walks you through the process step by step—from basic information about materials and techniques to two demonstrations that show how complete portraits come together from beginning to end.
You'll learn how to:
- choose the right tools and master basic techniques
- compose a portrait—examples show right and wrong ways to do it
- use light to create mood in your portraits
- create a range of rich, believable skin tones
- paint the face—step-by-steps of eyes, mouth, nose and ears make it easy
- paint realistic-looking clothing—step-by-step demos show you how to paint denim, velvet and other fabrics

Excellence in a book!,
By
This review is from: Colored Pencil Portraits Step by Step (Hardcover)
This book is a must have for beginning colored pencil artists. It gives you a lot of ideas on how to improve your drawing of people and even pick up a few ideas for other things you may draw. The intro was very nicely done and gives you a great amount of info on what you need to perform. Besides being good for giving you ideas, the drawings inside the book will make your mouth drop open and make you work harder to find that extra little talent you have hidden in you. Go ahead and try it, you won't be disappointed.
