DESCRIPTION:
"Pretty cover" according to yellow rose. Interesting but too many of the paintings (and artists) copy the almost same style (the cover painting). One quick look through was plenty.. Leanne said Gorgeous, inspirational book!. I'm a newbie to painting and mixed-media art (I've only been taking classes for a few months now), and had been worried that this book would be above my skill level when I pre-ordered it. It just arrived today, however, and its clear instructions and explanations make me confident that I will be able to create the art within its pages. Carrie is such a talented artist, and just reading through this made me eager to run upstairs and pull out my paints! This is a great book for both new and more experienced artists, and both will learn valuable skills from it.The book opens with an overview of the various materials that you'll need to do th. my hope is alive! I think I have found a way to express myself in painting - Carrie has shown me, a fragile, self-conscious budding artist, that I can, indeed, make beautiful art. To say that I'm excited is to definitely understate it. I have dabbled in watercolor, colored pencil, and graphite drawing, but I was constantly frustrated, having no real background in art. But Carrie's book has given me great hope that I can, indeed, produce a pretty picture. Her nurturing words and gentle spirit connected with me and gave me confidence to jump in and do it! I'll keep you posted!
