5.0 out of 5 stars
best tips for an in-home art studio,
By Sande Greene (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Complete Studio Tips (Paperback)
This little book is jam-packed with helpful tips for the non-professional artist/designer. While I'm sure the professional could profit from this guide, I think it is most useful to the aspiring artist/designer who has a design idea or project and needs help in getting from the creative urge to the realistic application. All kinds of how-to with precise illustrations are detailed by the author: how-to organize your desk top, drawing board and materials and supplies, how-to use inexpensive, easily-available materials to make helpful artistic devices, how-to make lettering, free-hand circles and test t-squares and triangles for "trueness" and on and on. I work in stained glass and I've found this book of great practical value for designing and for setting up a simple work space at home. I think other hobbyists and crafters would find great value for the money in this book.

This review is from: Complete Studio Tips (Paperback)
Been waiting a month for this book to be mailed from the east coast to the west coast. I will not be buying any more books from sellers at Amazon. Very disappointed. Emailed the seller, no response.
