5.0 out of 5 stars This latest book of Jeanne Carbonetti's is an absolute Jewel, June 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Yoga of Drawing: "Uniting Body, Mind and Spirit in the Art of Drawing" (Path of Painting/Jeanne Carbonetti) (Paperback)

After reading her two other fine books on the technique of watercolor and zen, I didn't think she could come up with another as good as they were,I was so pleasently surprised: "Yoga of Drawing" has surpassed both! Her lovely drawing and simple techniques are easy to understand and most pleasing to the sense of balance and spirit in the presentation of the printed word to the reader. The flow of the spirit and mind are merged together as one to carry one happily through all the pages one by one in the process of understanding. My warmest recommendations.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Yoga of Drawing by Jeanne Carbonetti, January 19, 2000

melodieroe@mindspring.com (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Yoga of Drawing: "Uniting Body, Mind and Spirit in the Art of Drawing" (Path of Painting/Jeanne Carbonetti) (Paperback)

This is a terrific book for those people who don't have fabulous drawing skills. It helps you understand how you can create wonderful drawings that are expressive even if you don't draw. It's a wonderful companion to Jeanne Carbonetti's other two books.
