Review Quotes

Art Book Review - May 2024
Even if you have the five books that go to make up this compilation, I think you might feel you want this as well. True, at 288 pages it's a heavy slab of a book, but it sits well in your lap and falls open nicely - no fighting the binding and peering into the spine here. This is a guide rather than a course, so expect topics rather than lessons, but there are plenty of examples, exercises and demonstrations to keep you busy.
