Disappointed,
By A Customer
This review is from: Painter's Wild Workshop: 12 Master Artists Help Expand Your Creativity (Hardcover)
The editorial review recommends this book for all levels of experience. I disagree. The main content of the book seems to be an "artsy", self-indulgent calligraphy with which the author apparently intends to inspire creativity. This effort is, in my opinion, completely without merit when compared to the many wonderful books on this subject already available. The practical demonstrations of particular techniques by the artists are presented in a muddled, incomplete and incoherent manner. In one instance two different approaches are presented on the same pages and it is difficult to connect the descriptions to the process pictured. I very rarely return a book, but I did return this one as being worthless. It is not helpful to the beginner and it does not provide any useful information to the experienced painter.

Unique. Helps Expand Abstract Creativity,
By
This review is from: Painter's Wild Workshop: 12 Master Artists Help Expand Your Creativity (Hardcover)
There are not many books like this one available. The book shares the creative ideas of 12 different artists, helping the art student expand his/her creative techniques using a variety of media. If you are into realism or figure drawing in its pure sense, this is not the book for you. If you are wanting to learn techniques to play with various paint media to create quasi-abstract or full abstract art, or abstract-realism then this is one of the few books to help you out. I thought it was well worth the $ in contrast to another review I read about this book in which the buyer returned the book.
