5.0 out of 5 stars A perennial favorite in my reference library, April 4, 2000
By Nancy (Silicon Valley, CA) - See all my reviews
I also frequently recommend this book to other artists, beginning or advanced. I've had this book for years, and am awed everytime I open it up. It's perfect for jumpstarting the creative juices because almost every page contains an inspiring thought, image or technique. Her photos of natural elements, together with paintings by herself and other artists shows everyone how to use nature as a springboard for creativity. You will LOVE this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous Teacher, Fabulous Art, May 5, 2001
I was lucky enough to have this artist-author as a teacher almost 2 decades ago. I no longer work in this style or medium but when I was working in it, her methods were the most marvelously freeing ones. If you feel constricted with your present results in water color, as if you must "break free" from such rigid control, Maxine is the teacher for you. The art works are totally glorious as well. Many are hers and she uses other artists' work as well. The book has art work on virtually every page. Back when I took her course, I know that her work was also selling for a lot of money to big commercial clients to put in their buildings and to some private homes as well. Thus, she had cracked the commercial barrier too. I applied her techniques in later years to acyrlics and liquid dyes as well and they worked fine there too.

5.0 out of 5 stars True inspiration to free your creativity, August 2, 1999
By A Customer
I orginally saw this book in the library, and was so enthralled by it that I bought it for my reference shelf. I refer to it often to inspire new ideas, and recommend it to every artist I know. The content is so timeless it is destined to be a great reference book in any artist's library!
