Reviews

"The primary audience for the book are readers who are interested in art, but may not know where to begin. However, more experienced learners may also find things to enjoy in the gems of knowledge sprinkled throughout the essays. But, beyond that, it is the 'dialogue' between artists, the author, and thoughtful readers that forms the main treasure in this book." - DailyArt Magazine
