I couldn't agree more. A splendid book that is straight forward, easy to comprehend, yet it's well thought out passages concerning the principles of portraiture is certainly not lacking in it's simplicity, but is very comprehensive in scope. It made sense! I particularly liked her palette, the logic on choosing a color harmony and use of discords, determining color of light, its temperature, principles of shadow, core of the shadow, varous skin color formulations, kelvin data during various stages of the day, etc., etc., etc.

Chris I took your book to our Imnaha place where I spent the last week in quiet seclusion and read your book twice. I have learned more. This is fine addition to my library and I will certainly pass on my new knowledge and my recommendations for your book.....L
