Painting Portraits

Everett Raymond Kinstler, one of the nation's foremost portrait painters, takes you into his studio to discuss his working methods in this completely revised edition of his best-selling book. Kinstler describes the materials and equipment that he finds essential to portrait painting and then moves on to a far less tangible subject: the painter's attitude toward the portrait and relationships to the sitter, to the client who will approve the painting, and to those who are emotionally involved with the subject and with the painting.
