Review: "Art wisdom, disseminated the right way." - I have just received my paperback copy this book, to start off with, I must say that the artworks showcased in this book are absolutely awe inspiring, makes for some great inspiration to budding artists. As a student of art myself, I feel that this book reiterates the basics, the core foundation principles of realism/portraiture. The chapters are well structured and the language used is simple enough for easy reading. I am really impressed with the additional wisdom that Oliver imparts in this book, so its not just a "how to draw" book, it also talks about the conveyance of emotions and the dynamism that a portrait needs to depict, this tells me that the author is a serious art educator and has put out all his knowledge into this book in a very unbiased way. Art students and portraiture enthusiasts will surely enjoy learning from this book and overall It's a must have in any art enthusiast's collection.

This book is good

### ⭐⭐⭐ Not for Beginners
*by H***S on 1 January 2025*

Not for Beginners, If you cannot draw Outlines of Portrait by themselves, it's better to buy this book after learning that. It's all about how to make your portrait lively. Only few general instructions for beginners is touched on surface. As the name suggests it's for artists. It helps to improve their art style better and their is only replacement option from Amazon's side.
